National Security Adviser Susan Rice, who has been with Obama since 2008, is said to be intelligent but lacking in strategic vision. That, together with her avowed combativeness, has impaired coherent policymaking on critical issues like the Syrian crisis.
对效忠的强调在国家安全方面最为明显。国家安全顾问苏珊·赖斯（Susan Rice）自2008年其一直与奥巴马共事，据说她智力超群，但缺乏战略眼光。再加上她公开的好斗个性，导致叙利亚危机等关键问题上无法形成一致决策。
