The Susan Rice double indemnity dilemma; she's black and rich

The think tank here at Falling Downs has been prognosticating that Susan Rice will never take over the Sec of State file because she's black. It can't possibly happen as long as there's a black dude in the White House. With a white Mormon in the White House, it was a possibility, but that post is toast for now. That's just too much black on America's face to the world.

Turns out there's another reason she won't make it. She's rich. That in itself is not reason to be excluded from high office of course. In fact, it's often been seen as an advantage. But God help you if you're black and rich!

That's just not the natural order of things in America!

And not only that; it seems that in her multi-million dollar stock portfolio she has a fondness for Canadian tar sands stocks and Canadian pipeline stocks. Stocks that will go up up up when that Keystone pipeline gets the green light.

Great!

Now all those old white racists in the Senate who weren't going to ratify her nomination under any circumstances will be able to point to her conflicts of interest instead of the color of her skin.
