The President shows a little anger in McCain and Graham's attack upon Susan Rice....

[kentuck]

He knows it's just politics.

He said it was "outrageous" that they would attack the UN Ambassador who was doing nothing but reporting on the intelligence that was given her. Was it given to her by David Petraeus may have been a better question?

Also, he said if they had a problem, they should come after him, not Susan Rice.

Perhaps it was another indicator to him that the Repubs have no intention of working with him on anything? The election changed nothing in that regard. Without the Congress, he can be nothing but a caretaker President until there is a crisis. Then, he has the chance to recruit the people's support.

1. He very calmly told those bastards they brought a knife to a gunfight. He called them cowards, too,

in essence.

It was a very fine throwdown.

2. thank you mr. president

he is annoyed because the senate committees were given the SAME intelligence rice was given and now they're acting like they didn't.

and so quickly they forget, there were days of protests on us embassies all over africa, middle east, and asia going on that day and the entire week following, while the UN embassador did the news show. the protests more clearly about the video. Which seems to have been purposeful in stirring people up. Why are there no investigations on that?

there are obviously republicans who will not cooperate. their heads are in the sand and don't realize the country is sick of it. and hopefully there are enough republicans who are politically smart enough to move to the center and get things done.

I can dream, can't I?
