Mitt Romney to CNN: Rice appointment ‘disappointing’
Park City, Utah (CNN) - As Mitt Romney begins to re-emerge into the public spotlight with a Utah conference, the former Republican presidential nominee told CNN Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger he was disappointed with President Obama's pick of UN Ambassador Susan Rice to be his next national security adviser.
"I find that a disappointing appointment on the part of the president. I think what she did was to very seriously mislead the American people about what happened in Benghazi. My greatest concern about the Benghazi events was the fact there was not a rescue effort attempted and that is very troubling to me," Romney said.

Obama team: Campaign was great, but candidate more important
(CNN) – President Barack Obama's campaign chiefs said on a final, victorious conference call Thursday that ground game and a changing set of nationwide demographics helped drive the president's re-election, but that the infrastructure responsible for propelling two winning presidential bids wouldn't necessarily bolster just any Democratic candidate in 2016.
