WASHINGTON – An emotional Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reveled Wednesday in Barack Obama's election, calling it an "extraordinary step forward" for the nation.
A child of the segregated deep South who became the highest-ranking African-American woman ever in American government and was once considered a potential Republican presidential nominee, Rice called the Democratic president-elect "inspirational" and said his victory was proof of America's promise.

Race, Race, Race, Race, Race
I don't see one comment from our Sec of State about the MARXIST that was just elected.
To think, some Freepers wanted her for President.
Well, she ran the State Department like a democrat, so I’m guessing she voted for the marxist quisling as well.
These people are sick in the head.
Condoleeza the Mole..
Stupid Condi.
If you had been nominated by either part you would have lost.
The democrats nominated a half white MAN.
Chauvinism marches on and you do not care.
I like your tagline.
For 97% of blacks (going by exit polls), race seems to trump everything else. This may be a winning formula for Dems... run black candidates nationally, get the usual white voter margins that any Dem would get, combined with a 97% bloc monolithic black vote with overwhelming turnout.
I wonder how it must feel to be among the few blacks who are not drinking the 0bama kool-aid...
Cool down..She is lobbying for better food at her re-education camp.
At least she didn’t come out and publicly endorse him, like that scum Powell.
But yes, it’s ugly black racism. I hope they can finally get it out of their system in the next 3 years. Then maybe they will look at 0bama on his merits. Not that I expect it; I fully expect as a white person to suffer much discrimination in the next four years.
The writing was on the wall then, and it is clear as crystal now.
They voted for him because he is black, and did not acknowledge the fact that he is a communist who advocates black racism and terrorism.
They must have wanted Idi Amin Version 2.0, because that is what they have given us.
But just for the sake of giving an alternate point of view, let me say this.
For anyone who grew up Black in the segregated South, your world view was highly influenced by those years. Sometimes Whites cannot appreciate how humiliating it was for Blacks in the South.
Don't get me wrong. Electing a Marxist does not make it better. However, I just want everyone to remember where the Blacks are coming from in their reaction. In 1950 not a SINGLE Black person in the United States believed that a Black could ever be elected President of the United States. A short 58 years later, that fiction is truth.
So, while the rest of us see Obama (rightly) as a Marxist Chavista demagogue, the Blacks see in him a miracle.
Again, just giving an alternate point of view.
There are two things at play here—together, but separate.
The first is, a black man as President of the United States. That is a great step, a first, and I don’t want to take that away from people of color across all political and wealth spectrums. As a white person I wouldn’t really understand, I have nothing to compare this to, but I think they should be able to celebrate this without condemnation.
There is the second, and that is that BHO is a Marxist. He is not really an American in his soul. Once the African-American Community realizes that BHO is not really one of them either, they will turn on him. Pray for their communities, because trouble will start there. They didn’t have those Black Panthers standing around for nothing.
Just curious-where are you from?
Real question-not sarcastic- State, City? No need to pinpoint it.....just curious.
For example I’m from Cleveland, Ohio, have lived all over, and now am in the Philly suburbs.
Can he really be more socialistic than Bush?
Sad answer is yes, but he has work to do.
I cannot wait til she’s out of a job.

That must be why Hamas got a busy signal.
