In reply to the discussion: New blow for Rice: Moderate senator voices concern [View all]AldoLeopold
(617 posts)If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me, Obama said Wednesday at his East Room news conference, defending his U.N. ambassador from charges that she misled the public about attacks on Americans in Libya.
So he's defending her on Libya - but what about the pipeline? I don't know. I just don't know about this one. Something just doesn't feel right. I trust his judgment, but something just doesn't smell right about this - and her. Too many bad opinions of her.
On the other hand, many great leaders were not well liked by their peers. I just don't know. I think that if the President continues to support her, then so will I.
I've been researching a bit tonight about alternatives and I saw Samantha Power. She might not be level-headed enough for the job though. Berman is right out. Kerry would be a HUGE mistake because of the Senate seat issue.
You'd think we'd have more to choose from.
