United Nations Ambassador-designate Susan Rice listens as President-elect Barack Obama (not pictured) announces his security team on Dec. 1, 2008. Rice's mother is a Maine native and her family has a summer home in Lincolnville.
President-elect Barack Obama’s selection for United Nations ambassador will have a familiar ring to many people in Maine.
Susan Rice is the daughter of Lois Dickson Rice, a Maine native, and her family has a summer home in Lincolnville. She was in Portland in January, when she was keynote speaker at the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast Celebration.
Rice, who’s 44, is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. She also served previously as an assistant secretary of state and worked for the National Security Council. In 2004, she served as senior national security adviser for the Kerry-Edwards campaign.

Yah! Very well stated, UcantFIXstupid.
The "summer home" they own in Lincolnville is probably one of those shorefront mansions that is priced beyond the ability of most Maine residents to own. Those of us who live in Maine can't afford properties like this. Only the out-of-staters have this kind of wealth.
"The Way Life Should Be" ---- yah, sure !!!!!!!

We should be glad the out-of-staters are paying those hefty property taxes or Maine would be in an even worse boat than it is.

Mariahstorm, what could you possibly mean by "looks like we have a terrorist organization forming in our cabinet"? Are you somehow trying to denigrate this incredibly qualified young woman?

anne_of_mdi, Guess I don't understand what "denig rate" means. Why is she "incredibly qualified"?

She can't be denigrated - she has black grandparents.
