Does is make you mad that Obama is defending Susan Rice now?

I find it frustrating that Obama left that poor lady out in the breeze for the last 6 to 7 weeks after she went on the talk shows and only now is he willing to take the heat and answer the questions about why she said such uninformed remarks back then.

How tough he sounded today, in front of his audience of reporters, challenging McCain to come after him instead of Rice for what happened. Sad thing is, he was AWOL for the last 8 weeks on this issue and the only time I even saw him take a series of questions on it, he ducked and run for cover.

Update:

Gutless Coward - Do you really believe that I give a crap that she is black? What bearing does that have on her for being stupid enough to go out and spread the crap she did, and what bearing does it have that Obama is black. That had nothing to do with how this has been handled. 4 people dead because of what certainly appears to incompetance at best and you want to throw the race card. Wow to go, Gutless.

Update 2:

Raatz - Funny that I am the " pathetic lying sleaze bag " and yet we all know that by the 15th the attack was not a response to that video. So, you can call me names, but that doesn't change the fact that someone in D.C. knew what really happened that very night and yet it was impossible to get that to the public, correctly, by the 15th? Again, you can call it want you want if it makes you feel better, but this was either complete incompetence or complete cover-up. Oh, wait, there is one more option, incompetence first and cover-up later. Yea, probably a mix of both.

    I think Susan Rice, the video, Petraeus, and any other distraction should be put aside to get to the heart of the problem. I like what Sen. Lindsey Graham said today in response to President Obama's press conference comments on Republican criticism of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice:

    “Mr. President, don’t think for one minute I don’t hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi. I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack.

    “We owe it to the American people and the victims of this attack to have full, fair hearings and accountability be assigned where appropriate. Given what I know now, I have no intention of promoting anyone who is up to their eyeballs in the Benghazi debacle.”

    Obama sent her out, threw her under the bus to buy time on Benghazigate so that he had a risk of winning. If Benghazigate had come out before the election, his *ss would were toast. It still probably...Hard to assert....

    She was telling you what was in the CIA press release because that's all she knew. She's the ambassador to the UN, not a CIA operative.

    He doesn't give a damn about Rice. It's about what makes him look bad. Notice he wasn't indignant at all when 4 Americans died in Benghazi.

    He sounded like someone trying to pick a fight.

    The state department was aware that there was no protest on 9/11. They watched the beginning of the attack on security cameras from the CIA property across town.

    The two weeks Rice was told to push the "hijacked protest" lie is unacceptable. Maybe Rice didn't know...she very well could have been a puppet, being fed lies so she could repeat them as truths.

    People in Obama's administration knew the truth, and they remained silent while the government lied, lied, lied.

    @GUTLESS COWARD

    wow...you actually played the race card.

    I guess the left will play the race card on EVERYTHING that happens anywhere.

    no why should it

  • No.

    I only get angry when someone behaves in a manner contrary to what I expect of them.

    Since I expect politicians to behave in an unethical, dishonest manner, I don't get angry when they behave that way.
