President Obama held his first news conference since
winning reelection in the East Room of
the White House in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 14. During the press event,
Obama pushed back against Republican critisism of Susan Rice, the U.S.
ambassador to the United Nations, whose name is one of those being
floated as a potential successor to Hillary Clinton, the current U.S. secretary of state.
