"President Obama is giving the political version of the one fingered salute to Republicans and their scandals by appointing Susan Rice to be National Security Adviser. The New York Times diplomatically reported that, “The appointment, which Mr. Obama plans to make on Wednesday afternoon, puts Ms. Rice, 48, an outspoken diplomat and a close political ally, at the heart of the administration’s foreign-policy apparatus. It is also a defiant gesture to Republicans who harshly criticized Ms. Rice for presenting an erroneous account of the deadly attacks on the American mission in Benghazi, Libya. The post of national security adviser, while powerful, does not require Senate confirmation.” The clear message that President Obama is sending to congressional Republicans begins with an F and ends with a U. President Obama gave up on trying to work with Republicans late in 2011, but his promotion of Susan Rice after Republicans endlessly demonized her during their Benghazi conspiracy frenzy speaks volumes about how the White House views the Republican attempts to create a scandal."
