Hillary Clinton: 'Susan Rice has done a great job'

[spanone]

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton weighed in for the first time on her potential sucessor, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, saying she has done a "great job."

"Susan Rice has done a great job as our ambassador to the United Nations," Clinton said Wednesday. "And, of course, this decision about my successor is up to the president, but I'm very happy he has the opportunity with a second term to make a decision."

The praise of Rice came just hours after President Obama also lauded Rice, saying she has done "an extraordinary job." Rice was rumored to be his top choice to replace Clinton, but she has become a lightening rod since appearing on Sunday talk shows in September and providing false information about the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, and now senators are threatening to block her confirmation to State.

1. Hillary looks tired.

Maybe the whole line of political succession needs a rest.

Pick a professional diplomat.
