susan rice has been the u.n. ambassador to since january tween when unanimously confirmed by the u.s. senate. her new job at the white house does not require any senate confirmation. many lawmakers are still highly skeptical of rice since she was the official sent to five sunday shows just days after the terrorist attack in benghazi, libya, that killed four americans to say that the attack was not preplanned and or premeditated and it was inspired by a online video. david plouffe recently called on republicans to apologize to rise since new e-mails reveal she didn't come up with the talking points but repeated them five times. nobody ever apologized and now susan rice has a new job. bill: who replaces susan rice then? she leaves a powerful position at u.n.. who goes there, peter? >> reporter: the president wants samantha power to take over. she must be confirmed by the u.s. senate. in 2008 samantha power made quite a few headlines who was a unpaid advisor to the obama campaign who had to resign because she called

tremendous respect and affects for susan rice. she's done a wonderful job for the united states at the united nations. this is not a senate confirm-able job, so there's no concern on hisç part in the elevating susan to this very important role. >> does that now make john kerry odd man out? samantha power, a former ointoa foreign policy adviser and human rights, who famous oy clashed with hillary clinton during the 2008 campaign. >>> weathering the storm, the new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll showing that -- but there are warning signs for the white house. >>> christie's choice, was it a move to avoid cory booker? new jersey's governor defends his decision to spend millions just three weeks before the general election. >> there's no political purpose. the political purpose is to give the people a voice. i will not permit the insiders and few party leaks to determine who the nominee of the republican party and the democratic party will be. >> and remembering a liberal lion. vice president biden and hillary clinton just among

chuck, let's talk about susan rice.s anticipated she would go for the national security council, and will take place after the summit, but then you throw samantha power into the mix at the u.n. how is the white house going to change in terms of policy, if at all? >> policywise, it will not change at all, except that it's interesting here, andrea, and i'm sure you've noticed that the president was very concerned about the how the foreign policy establishment would accept him when he first came into office. he madeç choices in tern positions that he thought would please the establishment community, so jim jones, a former marine corps general, in as national security adviser. that doesn't work out so well, tom donilon replaced him, but it was also the deputies and samantha power, that it was not the white house chief of staff. even susan rice and the position at the u.n., much more influential driving policy, they just weren't officially in these positions. now they're officially getting the title to match the influence t

ambassador susan rice. susan rice by all accounts was going to be the president's nominee for secretary of state until republicans in congress decided that they were going to go after her for benghazi. which she had nothing to do with, but they decided they would go after her for the talking points that were drafted by the cia after the benghazi attacks. susan rice used those talking points in september 2012 on the sunday shows. nobody in congress made all that big of deal on her appearance at the time until months later when it seemed she was going to be nominated to be the next secretary of state. suddenly, susan rice having used those cia talking points on tv made it unfathomable she could ever hold the secretary of state job, because she useded talking points the cia gave her. it was around that time that senate republicans also just started calling her names. >>> susan rice appears to be the front run r for secretary of state. you told cbs last night you will do everything to stop her confirmation. why

susan rice will have to be very careful about that. i especially worry that she and john kerry both am bush, eager to make a real mark in american foreign policy are going to be occupying the same policy space and that somehow they will have to get an agreement of rules of the road before they start or i think there is going to be a crackup. >> rose: finally, finally put in samantha power that goes to the united nations, what difference does that make. at the united nations? >> yes. >> i don't think it will make much difference. this is a man that is very capable, she is often operated at very high diplomatic levels for some years now and knows how to do it awfully well and i think there will be a very smooth transition on that front. >> rose: thank you. les gelb, good to see you. >> you as always. >> rose: thank you, david. >> thank you, charlie. >> rose: pleasure. we will be right back, stay with us. >> rose:. >> jonathan alter is here, he is an author and politician commenter on view, his new book the center holds obama as his enemi

>> i remember susan rice when barack obama ran the first time. she was a fierce political advocate for candidate and senator barack obama. no question she was a spokesperson for him and willing to tow the party line . towed the party line in the wake of benghazi and now elevated to the position that is important. but the question is, what will she be doing in the role and a role of which requires independence or you do want somebody who you trust. >> you want somebody you trust enough that they can tell you when you are doing something wrong . that's an important component of chief-of-staff and national security advisor. you will have enough of the president's trust. when you think he is going in the wrong direction he trust you enough to hear from you that that is what is happening. it depends on the president, they have different styles and most white house since 95 or 99 percent of w out of the oval office and goes through the president and national security advisor and chief-of-staff. most communication with the president and the cab nit go t

thank you, tom, and susan. i consider myself immensely fortunate these last four years to have collaborated with both of you. there are two no more dedicated professionals on this earth, no more strategic stewards of our foreign policy than these two individuals. and i'm honored and immensely humbled to share the stage with you. i moved to the united states from ireland when i -- with my parents who are here, when i was 9 years old. i remember very little about landing in pittsburgh, except that i was sure i was at the largest airport in the history of theworld. i do remember what i was wearing. a red, white and blue stars and stripes t-shirt. it was the t-shirt i always wore in ireland on special occasions. even as a little girl with a thick dublin accent who had never been to america, i knew that the american flag was a symbol of fortune and of freedom. but i quickly came to learn that to find opportunity in this country, one didn't actually need to wear the flag, one just needed to try to live up to it. for

so instead of susan rice, john kerry got the secretary of state gig and susan rice stayed on as the u.n. ambassador, until today. president obama gave susan rice a new job, very powerful new job, which doesn't have a confirmation process. president obama announcing today that susan rice will be his new national security adviser. also naming samantha power as his nominee to replace ambassador rice at the united nations. today's announcement comes on the heels of the three nominees the president announced in the rose garden yesterday to the powerful d.c. circuit court of appeals, nominees who, themselves, are pretty noncontroversial but republicans have reacted to with outrage. those three nominees yesterday, susan rice and samantha power named today, president obama clearly not shying away from a fight these days, but how hard a fight are any of these moves expected to be and were they unexpected? joining me now, andrea mitchell, host of "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc, andrea, thank you so much for being with us tonight. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> you and i talked on this show the

we're talking about susan rice.sident obama has decided for his national security sizer he is--adviser he's going to appoint susan rice. there will be no hearings, it will be just an appointment and the republicans are outraged. here he is making the announce announcement. >> obama: is susan was a trusted adviser during my campaign as president. she helped lead our diplomacy in the united nations during my first term. i'm thrilled she will be back at my side leading our security team once again. cue republican outrage. >> he's awarding someone who showed amazingly poor judgment. thismisled the american people and failed to call benghazi what it was, which was an act of there there terrorism. >> she had very poor judgment and went on the talk shows and perpetuated a myth, market a lie. >> cenk: shocking, the republicans are against this appointment. i thought they would throw roses at her feet. let me go to my panel and see what they have to say about this. this is the principle political power panel i don't know if

susan or condoleeza?i'm going to say condoleeza. >> i'm going to neither because ultimately they worked for the guy who made the decision for them and they carry out the mission. i blame neither of them. >> john: diplomatically brilliant. >> i got to say susan because she vested heavily in the keystone pipeline. >> a lot of liberals don't like that except for africa she never found a war she didn't like. tonight we tell the tale of two rices. susan and condoleeza. one rice is about to become the national security adviser after the republicans said she was unworthy of being secretary of state. the other rice became national security state after republicans loved her. so will susan rice soon to be nsa to obama perform as magnificently as condoleeza rice performed when she was bush's nsa? let's hope not. now a lot of you know that the terrorists come in a distance fourth. that's the way of the bubble. ever 9/11/01 the g.o.p. used terrorist to attack barak. then of them in cairo inflated over the stupid youtu

there is hallucination of a video and susan rice says i'm going with the video. and shame on president obama for not bringing his national security team that included tom donolon, accused by dianne feinstein potentially "new york times" sanctioned leaks and they are going after fox's james rosen. hypocrisy is so many different levels. if i'm susan rice i'm not going to go out.... >> bob: nobody in that group except for petraeus. c.i.a. said don't do it. >> eric: we have emails from the administration, from the intel to the administration saying, from the very moment it was happening that they blamed sharia. they changed it. >> dana: state department wishes to take it out with the white house in the morning we'll figure it out in the morning. it's frustrating to keep arguing the facts. the facts are they did screw up. they admitted themselves they were idiots. >> eric: do you have the intro, third or fourth one down, it was all redacted. look at that. they put black lines. they deleted the information. >> bob: the fact of the matter they didn't want -- and that is

advisor. >> susan is a consummate public servant who puts her country first. she is fearless and tough and she has a great tennis game. >> eric: she is definitely good at spinning stuff especially talking about benghazi which the president didn't mention. and get caught misleading and just might earn a promotion from president obama. ms. rice the latest, how she has failed all the way up obama ladder. on september 11th, 2011, four were killed by terrorists. they claimed the video was responsible and then president obama flew to las vegas. on september 14th, hillary standing in front of caskets, insults america by blaming the video again. september 15th, the obama administration changes the intel talking points to reflect the dishonesty they had been saying all week. this was weeks away from the presidential election. on september 16th hillary refuses to go on record and sends susan rice out to cover for them all. let's get this part of it out of the way. the timing is beyond interesting to me. it's hot under america's collar. is this an attempt by the obama ad

congresswoman, you've been a strong supporter of susan rice.ou're out front when republicans were attacking her months ago. what message does this send to the right today? >> well, the one thing it does is says when you have a professional, some money who has for their entire career worked in national security, i think that the president did today the right thing. not only to serve the president but to serve the united states. i think she is, in fact, uniquely qualified for this position and i congratulate her and i applaud him for making this decision today. >> now, you talked about her background. her resume is impressive by anybody's standards./h$: u.n. ambassador to the u.n., senior adviser for national security affairses, obama campaign, searier fellow, brookings institute to president bill clinton. rhodes scholar at oxford university. yet, with that, john mccain tweeted his displeasure. obviously i disagree with potus, president of united states, appointment of susan rice as national security adviser, but i'll make every effort to work w

susan rice was so screwed on this whole benghazi thing. just to make as -- i mean, she had nothing to do with it. why was she the target? i still don't get it. why did lindsey graham and john mccain -- what do they have against susan rice? >> i don't get it either. john mccain, calling it passive aggressive, rand paul was aggressive, aggressive, accused her of lying again and said she was responsible for misleading the american people against benghazi. when we got those talking points memos and saw even in the weird abc version and the white house official version, the one thing those versions agreed on was that susan rice had nothing to do with it. her staff either. people said that she deserved an apology and lindsey graham shot back she deserves a subpoena. so they keep it up. i can't help but think it has something to do with her closeness to the president, her being a woman, all of the garbage about her not being very smart, according to senator mccain, and incompetent, according to lindsey graham, has creepy gender and -- >> i just w

they did pre-emptively knock susan rice out of secretary of state.oday president obama got the last laugh. because today the president announced none other than susan rice has his new national security adviser that does not require confirmation from the senate. john mccain was left with no other recourse and just sputtered around and announced a tweet. obviously i disagree with potus appointment of susan rice as national security adviser. but i'll make every effort to work with her on important issues. yes, he will. because unfortunately, for senator mccain, he has no other choice. joining me now is joan walsh, editor at large for salon and author of the book, "what's the matter with white people, finding our way in the next america." okay. i just have to say, just to hammer this home, susan rice was so screwed on this whole benghazi thing. just to make as -- i mean, she had nothing to do with it. why was she the target? i still don't get it. why did lindsey graham and john mccain -- what do they have against susan rice? >> i don't get it either. joh

we don't know what susan rice like that n that regard. gwen: you covered the last administration and the balance strikere trying to amongst state, defense and the national security adviser's was often somee friction there, whether it was and donald rice rumsfeld, that sort of thing. how is the balance now with the three people in those three jobs? well, in the first term, there was a fair bit of friction saw frequently secretary clinton and defense secretary up, for example, against vice president biden and some of the political -- particularly over afghanistan. in this case, we haven't seen between john yet kerry, for example, and secretary hazel at defense and we don't know quite how this thereng to play out but is very much the sense that the president isn't going to hear as ash contention in the system he did in the first term and that can be bad news because sometimes you need that contention in the system to air out not only differences but other policy options. gwen: if you're chuck hagel and john kerry who wasn't part of way obama

samantha power, to replace susan rice as the u.n. ambassador. she later apologized after calling hillary clinton a nster, and made a passionate plea for muscular american intervention. >> i have seen troopers built to protect the people of bosnia. as the most powerful and aspiring country on the earth, we have a critical role to play. reporter: she was an advocate on libya and susan rice has said that the senate needs to act on her nomination as soon as possible. lou: thank you. ed henry, chief white house correspondent. president obama is not the only to find one in the midst of these scandals swirling about him. attorney general eric holder today missed a 5:00 p.m. deadline to personally explain questionable remarks he made before congress last month. when he testified, he wa unaware of any potential prosecutions of journalist. house judiciary chairman congressman baca block received a low-level denial from the justice department this week. turning back to the appointments today, our first guest says that ambassador susan wright is not confide

susan rice knows better than the idea sounds better and easier than it turns out to be.ile she, i think has been an advocate for a more assertive policy, she also recognizes pretty acutely just how complicated it is. it's interesting to see her and samantha power in effect positioned on one side, if you will, on this sort of debate that sometimes happen inside this administration, and how you see john kerry and chuck hagel, the cabinet secretaries on the other side, much more restrained about their idea of using american power in situations overseas. >> i want to open this to our folks in new york. peter raises an interesting point, the dual access, two very strong take no prisoners no-nonsense ladies with brought experience in the area of genocide, and then donilon and kerry on the other side may be more cautious. in effect, riceç and power are very close to the president, and are in positions of great leadership, as far as crafting foreign policy. it's a real sort of seat change. >> well, that's right. i think part of what you're seeing is this ongoing consolidation o

susan is the consumate public servant. she's fearless, tough. >> and she does not have to be confirmed by the senate to become the president's national security adviser. that's because the job was not created by the senate, job of national security adviser was created by president eisenhower. he decided he would like to have someone working close to him, up to speed on everything the secretary of state and secretary of defense are working on, and instantly available to advise on national security matters. jobs like secretary of state, secretary of defense, secretary of treasury, and all of the cabinet posts were actually created by legislation passed by congress, and in that legislation congress gave the senate the power to confirm the president's choices for those jobs. but like white house chief of staff, press secretary, the national security adviser is one of many important jobs that the president does not have to submit to the senate for confirmation, and for the first time in history fox news suddenly has a big probl

at best, susan rice provided misleading information. either way, president obama is saying the trust of the american people. it could not be clearer and it means that he is closing ranks, preparing for what might be a debilitating political and legal confrontation. the outcome of which may be a legacy as president. this is no longer the presidency of hope and change. this is a white house now dug in against its critics and foes. a new wall street journal poll shows that at least 55% of that each of these white house scandals raises doubts about the administration's honesty and its integrity. there is a high price to pay for those doubts. for more on the president's controversial appointments today, we turn to chief white house correspondent ed henry with powerpoint. reporter: president obama second term charm offensive to the detour in the rose garden today. bipartisan outreach giving way to define this national security adviser resigned and was replaced with susan rice, confidant republicans have blocked them elevation to secretary of

smith, toeben smith, jonas, john layfield along with susan ox. welcome to everybody. okay, gary b., you say all this snooping could shock the one part of the economy that's actually growing? how so? >> absolutely, brenda. look, i'm going to call this the nsa tax, if you will. you know, we have the e-commerce segment of our gdp is about $269 billion. it's growing the fastest of any retail segment that we have out there. in fact, it's probably, if you look back over the last few years, really supplied the bulk of the jobs and growth and innovation in the retail sector. if people now are afraid to go online, and they are, i mean, they've been afraid in the past. you know, credit cards and stuff like that. this is only going to exacerbate it. if that industry starts to shrink, oh, boy, the economy is really going to suffer. >> jonas, you say consumers are going to get used to it after a little while. >> i don't think it's going to change shopping behavior. the other day, you can save 3% on something and go through an unsecured internet connection versus going to a store,
