"Maybe he may want to check in with O and the WH before he goes on record with this."

...that every member of the Cabinet consult the President before opening his/her mouth?

Who is "O"?

Do they ever? n/t Sekhmets Daughter Feb 2013 #1
Just as I said. It is SO easy to see when corpmedia is being used to spread blm Feb 2013 #2
Did you see all of the practically monosyllabic posts from newbies here that couple of weeks? patrice Feb 2013 #3
yep - very orchestrated blm Feb 2013 #4
Really? demwing Feb 2013 #51
There are newbies & then there are "newbies" I should have made that clear. Don't patrice Feb 2013 #63

Josh Marshall has an interesting tidbit (via TPM Prime): beachmom Feb 2013 #6
What did he do to Rice? politicasista Feb 2013 #7
Just a comment. No big deal. Probably no axe to grind. Nothing to do with Rice or Obama. Mass Feb 2013 #8
Probably not, just curious n/t politicasista Feb 2013 #10
What exactly did Kerry say that Josh Marshall was critial over? wisteria Feb 2013 #9
i think they are referring to Kerry saying how Obama offered him the job JI7 Feb 2013 #12
His remark which he apparently later clarified. beachmom Feb 2013 #19
Kerry was always his first choice, Rice didn't even come up until media and republicans JI7 Feb 2013 #11

No, I think it was true, but the WH has probably asked him to walk it back. beachmom Feb 2013 #20

Axelrod does not work at the White House anymore Mass Feb 2013 #37
Thought he still worked there politicasista Feb 2013 #39
I think politisista may think SOS Kerry is somehow belittling Rice. wisteria Feb 2013 #44
Never thought that politicasista Feb 2013 #46
Ok, I stand corrected.n/t wisteria Feb 2013 #47

The problem is that you assume things. Mass Feb 2013 #36

Sorry for venting about all this politicasista Feb 2013 #45
That is fine you agree with my post, but remember you are entitled to your opinions too. n/t wisteria Feb 2013 #48
Thanks n/t politicasista Feb 2013 #49
Apparently, Kerry walked back the comment. Mass Feb 2013 #22
Which means, they were waiting for her to withdraw in good time. wisteria Feb 2013 #42
It was a stupid media GOP/stunt to begin with. defacto7 Feb 2013 #52
