RICE, Mc CAIN AND GRAHAM

Susan Rice has been appointed by president Obama as the new National Security Advisor; this is the second Rice black woman in less than a decade to be in the position. On the left the appointment is seen as the least Mr. Obama could do after she had taken the heat on the Benghazi talking points; they all knew the video was not the reason for the attack but Mrs Rice did what her boss told her to do; anything to win an election. On the right, those who are not yet insiders may cry foul for a while, but there are two undeniable truths: 1- This is a position that does not need senate approval and the president can choose whomever he wants; 2- Mrs. Rice, although a democrat is hawkish in her approach to the US's role in the world; thus it's easier for the McCains and the Grahams of this world to deal with her than with most of the possible options.

There is a huge difference between being incompetent and being a soldier; I believe Susan Rice is the latter and what we need is someone who can do the job, not necessarily someone we like. I think republicans should sit this one out, wipe their noses and focus on the real issues otherwise they may be seriously punished in 2014 by an electorate that finds no alternative to the incumbent and chooses to give him yet another chance scandals notwithstanding
