Rice pulls out of Secretary of State race
4:04PM EST December 13. 2012 - Susan Rice withdrew from consideration for the Secretary of State job on Thursday, citing Republican criticism of her record.
"If nominated, I am now convinced that the confirmation process would be lengthy, disruptive and costly -- to you and to our most pressing national and international priorities," Rice said in a letter to Obama.
In a statement, Obama praised Rice, while criticizing the "unfair and misleading attacks" on her by Republicans.
