Susan Rice exploiting the 2-year-old death of her own literary hero?

Susan Rice is as phony and hypocritical a National Security Advisor as she was President Barack Obama’s first ambassador to the United Nations.

Just as she blanketed the TV airways in 2012 to reinforce the Obama administration’s position that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, was the result an an anti-Muslim video; she seems to have used the two years ago death of Nigerian literary icon Chinua Achebe on Monday morning to link to a video of Obama speaking directly to the Nigerian public calling for free and fair elections this Saturday. “Today is a somber day in Nigeria, as Chua Achebe was laid to rest in his native village, Rice wrote in her outrageous Tweet. Fact is, the late and lamented Achebe died in March of 2013, at age 82 in Boston following a brief illness. In May, an elaborate funeral was attended by loved ones, fans and admirers. There were trumpeters, dancing troupes and scores of dignitaries on hand to honor the much celebrated author when he was buried in his hometown of Ogidi--with no weeping, wailing or tweeting from Rice.

Rice piled on the emotion in a tweet following the one she tweeted as Achebe’s death notice:

“A giant of African lit., he brought the Continent-and Nigeria, in particular-2 the world. His works left lasting impression on me & my gen.”

The drama queen deleted her death notice tweet as soon as others on social media pointed out her out false information. But the main message she set out to deliver that Obama cares, really cares about peaceful elections in Nigeria, is still there for all to see. Indeed, some would term the tweets Rice did not delete, including one calling for free and fair elections that linked to a video of Obama speaking directly to the Nigerian public, exploitation of the death of Chua Achebe two years after it happened. “As they head to the polls in the coming days, the Nigerian people will, as always, find a friend in the United States,” Rice said. Too bad the people of Israel could not say that in last week’s election, unsuccessfully sabotaged by top members of Obama’s campaign team. “U.S. President Barack Obama is calling for free and fair elections in Nigeria this Saturday -- and for Nigerians to reject the violence that has marred the country's previous polls. (VOANews, March 23, 2015)

"So I call on all leaders and candidates to make it clear to their supporters that violence has no place in democratic elections -- and that they will not incite, support or engage in any kind of violence -- before, during, or after the votes are counted," Obama said. "I call on all Nigerians to peacefully express your views and to reject the voices of those who call for violence. And when elections are free and fair, it is the responsibility of all citizens to help keep the peace, no matter who wins." “Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan is running for re-election against former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari. Allegations of vote rigging after Jonathan won the 2011 polls set off violent protests in the north that killed some 800 people. “Jonathan's PDP party has won every national election since Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999. “In a video released Monday by the U.S. embassy in Abuja, President Obama said successful elections are key to stopping insurgent group Boko Haram and allowing more than a million displaced Nigerians to return to their homes.”

The last time a controversial Nigerian geared tweet came from the White House was last April when Michelle Obama tweeted #bringbackourgirls under her picture after 276, Christian, Nigerian, school girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram. #bringbackourgirls, widely regarded as a publicity stunt was ignored by all but the terrorists who tweeted back #bringbackourhumvees. Meanwhile mainstream media leaves the impression that Rice was not in the know about her hero Chua Achebe’s 2013 death. Readers: do you think the tweet was done because Rice did not know about the death of her literary hero, or did she exploit the death to give oxygen to boss Obama’s message to the people of Nigeria?
