8. He can't be...

He can't run for President again...he's served his two terms. (Unless you mean a First Gentleman!) And like I said in my original post, it's not that I don't like Susan Rice...I think she'd be excellent. It's just that between her investment in the pipeline, the fact that Republicans are idiots who will hold up (and probably attempt to filibuster) her nomination, slime her and cost Obama incredible capital, I just don't think it worth what it'll cost. Now, if Reid is successful in changing filibuster rules, I say go for it, because she will be able to win a simple majority in a confirmation vote.
