New blow for Rice: Moderate senator voices concern

[John2]

42. I don't

agree with you at all. She was the Ambassador and Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State. Hillary Clinton is in the Cabinet and would have also signed off on any War you attach to Rice. She also approves of Susan Rice. And everybody serves for the President, which would mean, the buck stops with the President on any War. And if they are doing what the President wants, you can't detach any action of War on his subordinates. So this notion to attached any War on Susan Rice or any of President Obama's subordinates are ridiculous and also when the Secretary of State has more sway and is in charge of Diplomacy overall. The woman was doing what the President wanted. You also have the Vice President and Secretary of Defense with more sway to go to War than Susan Rice. The only thing Susan Rice does is report back to the President about the conditions of a certain country. She has nothing to do with military conditions.

I also don't think a Republican senator should be the only say on a President's cabinet choice. That didn't keep Condeleeza Rice or Colin Powell from the position and to think a prerequisite for Secretary State is not to advocate War on any condition is ridiculous also. She was thought of well in the Clinton Administration and apparently President Obama thinks highly of her. If he wants her, then he should pick her. There is nothing in her record that disqualifies her. And did Susan Collins approve of Susan Rice when she was nominated for the U.N. Ambassador? That should shut her trap, once and for all.
