Don’t worry, Richard, we oppose Obama’s white half as well.

Via Newsbusters:

O’DONNELL: Yeah, Richard, look, I hope there’s no defiance at all. I hope the President isn’t doing this because those Republicans criticizing her really bothered me and I want to defy them with this appointment. I hope he’s choosing her because he thinks of all the people I can possibly have now as my national security advisor, she’s the best person I can have.

RICHARD WOLFFE, MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: I think of the top 10 reasons the President chose Susan Rice to be his national security advisor, number 11 would be annoying Republicans. … I do recall when Fox News was looking at Dick Cheney and his openness and transparency, they didn’t call him shady.

O’DONNELL: Right.

WOLFFE: But, you know, it’s totally different with a black President, of course.
