UN Ambassador Susan Rice has withdrawn her name from consideration for Secretary of State, saying the criticism surrounding her comments on Benghazi had become an “irresponsible distraction.”
“I am fully confident that I could serve our country ably and effectively in that role,” Rice wrote in a letter to President Obama today. “However, if nominated, I am now convinced that the confirmation process would be lengthy, disruptive and costly – to you and to our most pressing national and international priorities.”
Rice has been criticized by Republicans for her response to questions on the Sunday talk shows shortly after the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi killed four Americans.

What about Condoleeza Rice and her statements? What about "weapons of mass destruction" that never were, and an entire war started, cost thousands of lives, and trillions of dollars. Bush had the biggest lie going... and that was ok with you.
And all I know is the dems voted for that war.And now they say the weapons are being found in Syria.And how do you know what is ok with me,Just because I don't bow to Obama doesn't mean I bowed to Bush.
Conservatives loved Condi. This has nil to do with racism and everything to do with Libya and the blantant behavior by this Administration and various news sources and confirmed liberals who don't care what happened, putting politics over life and death events.
Shame on you.
Susan rice is not qualified given her role in the Libya situation. Senator Kerry is a much better choice. I have no qualms with his appointment as I feel he is more respectable and more qualified.
Leaning on race is either willful ignorance or worse, an attempt to lie to try and gain political points. Either situation is a shame.
Which again, turns to why he's encountered so much resistance. Not his race. Thats a crutch or a distraction.
I'd take you much more serious if you didn't rely on that crutch and if you were willing to understand the political reality that exists today. But you aren't so I take you as serious as I took Palin.
And as a note, she wasn't the top of the ticket that year...
Also, your record on rely on crutches and distractions is extended by trying to lean on the "Palin was unqualified" crutch. Your record isn't that good.
Win win for him personally ...not so much for the 4 dead Americans, and their families ...or BO's failure as Commander-in-Chief.
I doubt that she would so eagerly have spread the lies (like the dutiful little puppet that she is) if she had known it would result in this. She was on the fast track up until now, and I'm sure she thought that the quickest way to the top is to do what you're told (as she obviously was).
Too bad the buck stopped with her, as it appears it might. I hope the buck stops with who instructed her to say such ludicrous nonsense. Probably too much to ask for today, though.
The ONLY "Irresponsible distractions" surrounding this entire issue were HER comments on all of the talk shows five days after the attack and FOUR days after any American could turn on their TV set and KNOW that she was LYING..
The Career people at the State Department came out IMMEDIATELY and revealed that Hillary didn't get this " Video " story from THEM..
The CIA Career people came out IMMEDIATELY and revealed that Patreaus did NOT get HIS "Video" story from THEM..
THIS is a case where the Obama ADMINISTRATION and his POLITICAL Appointees tried,, UNDER Orders,, to distract Americans from the REAL truth behind ben-Ghazi yo win an election..
Rice might not be the brains behind this fiasco of tragedy and incompetence but she IS as GUILTY as NIXON for HER part in it's cover-up..
Both of them had a giant mishap. The only difference is that the people pointing out Susan's will urinate themselves screaming until she up and leaves.
I'm glad she's gone, given her incompetency, but this just seems...Hypocritical, doesn't it?
