While I can understand a president standing up for one of his people, I do wish the current president had found a way to express that support in a less confrontational way. Something along the lines of "I am fully confident that Ambassador Rice will answer satisfactorily any reasonable question put before her in a fair hearing."
(And where would things be if the White House had just made sure that everyone was on the same page IRT talking about Benghazi. "We're still gathering information about the attacks so at this time we're going to ask for the patience of the American people.")
