President Obama today at the White House let reporters know that he would not allow any attacks on UN Ambassador Susan Rice for her comments during this year’s 9/11 attacks.
“If Senator McCain and Senator Graham want to go after somebody, they should go after me,” President Obama said confidently and with a tone of daring. “I’m happy to have that discussion with them.
