Since Rice is NOT running for VP, they figured her stature of as prominent black female might compliment Obama's image, and even soften racial apprehensions against him held by some rural independents and republicans. So now they keep her locked away in the backroom. She still does her job though, overseeing the genocide in the middle east, and such. This has been done with the White House’s approval.

Think back to when Rice and Cheney were butting heads and what they were butting heads about. THAT is why Rice is no longer important. Rice now (or then rather) didn't want Bush to rush into something else headlong, but Cheney wanted his next war. Rice immediately became persona non grata not only to reporters but to many within the admin. Lesson learned? Do not f**k with the dark lord. Ever. About anything. Period.
