In WaPo: Susan Rice: ‘A steady drip of manufactured charges painted a wholly false picture of me’

Dec. 13, 2012 9:25pm Eddie Scarry

News broke today U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice officially withdrew her name from consideration as Secretary of State.

She writes in an op-ed for the Washington Post:

I made this decision because it is the right step for this country I love. I have never shied away from a fight for a cause I believe in. But, as it became clear that my potential nomination would spark an enduring partisan battle, I concluded that it would be wrong to allow this debate to continue distracting from urgent national priorities …

I have never sought in any way, shape or form to mislead the American people. To do so would run counter to my character and my life of public service. But in recent weeks, new lines of attack have been raised to malign my character and my career. Even before I was nominated for any new position, a steady drip of manufactured charges painted a wholly false picture of me. This has interfered increasingly with my work on behalf of the United States at the United Nations and with America’s agenda.

Rice names four reasons she made her decision:

1. “[M]y commitment to public service is rooted in the belief that our nation’s interests must be put ahead of individual ones.”

2. “I deeply respect Congress’s role in our system of government.”

3. “[T]he American people expect us to come together to keep our nation safe.”

4. ” I have a great job.”

So glad she left and we did not have to get stuck with another liar deceiving the public. Either she was telling lies or she is totally incompetent and never even verified her story. Actually it is more likely she was told by Mr. Pres. to throw that bull at the people.

she withdrew her name from the running because of racism and sexism

Maybe Susan Rice should talk to any tea party member. They’ve been getting the same treatment from people like her for years, yet they didn’t quit.

3-4 weeks of scrutiny and she folds. She should talk to Hillary because Hillary’s got stones the size of the moon.

She wants to blame everyone but herself but the truth is even if she was just towing the party line it is not a good idea to lie on the talking head shows–unless of course you are President and then it is totally cool!

I think she articulated well the problem…the idea that the needs of the government take precedent over individual rights.
