73. Yes! Obama is now actually causing harm to both Rice and Kerry by being silent

I'm not assigning malicious intent here, but good grief, this is ineptitude. The same thing was happening to a lesser degree back in 2008, and again the media delighted in piling on and laying into Kerry. The man has done nothing but lay low and act classy and I'm getting seriously sick of the treatment he is getting in the media AND on progressive websites. The Republicans are playing the divide and conquer game and Obama and the Left are falling right into it yet again.
