Reprisals on the Way

Rice out ... Kerry in?





the withdrawal of Susan Rice for nomination to Secretary of State is a sad story in our history.  The GOP has blocked several of President Obama's nominations by the threat of the filibuster.  This is outrageous.  Until recently it was conceded that the President should be able to build his team around himself and that his nominations to cabinet positions should be confirmed absent any very prominent concerns.  She adequately explained the situation over the statements about Benghazi and was backed up by other administration officials.  In opposition, John McCain has given up statemanship and moved directly to angry old man.  This can only result in reprisals to GOP nominations when and if they ever regain the Presidency.
