I love Susan Rice.
Really, I do.

Susan Rice, a foreign policy advisor to Obama, mocked Clinton for her claim of having made a corkscrew landing into Bosnia under the threat of sniper fire, when, as Rice pointed out, she made the trip with Chelsea, Sheryl Crow and Sinbad.

"In fact, it was a meet-and-greet and concert with the troops," said Rice. "So it's hard to understand exactly what she is referring to when she says she has unparalleled crisis management experience."

Rice also needled Clinton for her claim of having helped open Macedonian borders to refugees of the Kosovo war in 1999. Clinton, as the Washington Post pointed out, arrived a day after the border was reopened, so to the extent that she had a role in reopening the borders at all, it was as a sign of the United States' commitment to the issue and not a result of her negotiating skills.

Rice argued, as she did previously, that "Senator Clinton, Senator Obama and Senator McCain have never had to answer the proverbial 3:00 AM phone call. Only a commander in chief has shouldered that unique burden and you don't get that kind of experience merely by being married to a commander in chief, as Senator Clinton suggested today."

Keep calling out the Clinton's on their exaggerations.
It seems to be a chronic problem with the truth.

9. Obama has Susan Rice; Hillary has Howard Wolfson, Kiki McLean, Lanny Davis, and assorted others from
the Clintons'years in the White House.

Can you imagine listening to them for another four or eight years. Enough, already!

Time to turn the page!
