Envoy Susan Rice to UN: 'The United States is Back'
By Alex Wagner - Politics DailyGiven the inordinate amount of handwringing that usually goes on over at U.N. headquarters over matters as simple as, say, ordering lunch (the French want salads, the Americans want sandwiches, the Brits want, um, savory pies?), it is with extraordinary pleasure that I can report feelings of exhilaration following U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice's remarks Wednesday night at New York University's Center for Global Affairs. ...
Lubna Hussein: Sudanese Tear-Gas Supporters at Pro-Pants Protest
By Alex Wagner - Politics DailyIn the continuing saga of Lubna Hussein -- the Sudanese woman charged with violating Islamic law by wearing pants in public -- police in Khartoum Tuesday sprayed tear gas and beat Hussein's supporters who had gathered outside a courtroom with banners reading "No return to the dark ages" and "No to suppressing women." Like a few other high-profile human rights cases with strong women at the center, Hussein's trial has been delayed, this time until Sept. 7. ...
UN Ambassador Rice: Nations Want to 'Work with America Again'
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyNEW YORK – My question – lifted from Barack Obama's last prime time press conference – was a reporter's ploy to extend a Wednesday afternoon interview that had already run past its scheduled half hour. But United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, the Obama campaign veteran with the most high-profile foreign policy post in the new administration, mulled it carefully, reluctant to offer a flip answer. ...
Barack Obama Announces National Security Team as Leaked
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyPresident-Elect Barack Obama held a press conference today to announce his National Security team. Included in the announcement were Secretary of State Hillary nominee Hillary Clinton, National Security Advisor Jim "Not That Jim Jones" Jones, and Susan "The Other" Rice as Ambassador to the UN. Not included in today's announcement? Anything we didn't already know. Seriously, people, can we stop with the leaks? It's like being on line to see The Sixth Sense in front of a bigmouth who has already seen it. Without any surprising picks, these press conferences are little more than talking points ...
Surro-Gate: Hamas Ties and Lies Arise
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyFollowing Friday's resignation by Obama Middle East advisor Rob Malley over his many meetings with Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, the Obama-Hamas controversy is bubbling up once more. Over the last few weeks the controversy has been a particular point of discussion between the McCain and Obama campaigns. In an interview last week, Senator Obama said that McCain was "losing his bearings" and suggested that the Hamas issue was nothing more than a "smear" tactic. In a subsequent appearance, Senator McCain said he believed the endorsement of Senator Obama by Hamas was "a legitimate ...
Who's Ready at 3AM? Neither!
By Eric Schulzke - Politics DailyThis is truly bizarre. Susan Rice, a "senior foreign policy adviser" for the Obama camp, counters Hillary's 3AM phone call ad by asserting that neither of the Democratic candidates is ready for that 3AM phone call. Sometimes truth is found in unlikely places. The evidence that Rice is right, oddly enough, may lie in Obama's having selected as a foreign policy adviser someone who lacks a mental filter to this degree. As Groucho Marx once said, "I wouldn't belong to any club that would have me as a member." ...
Adviser Says Both Democrats 'Not Ready'
By Greg McNeilly - Politics DailyA frequent TV news surrogate and chief foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama claimed yesterday that both Hillary Clinton and Obama are not ready for a national crisis. The context is that "3 a.m." ad. Here's Susan Rice (no relation to Condi) on MSNBC: ...
