Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice accused Barack Obama of dramatically weakening the United States' position in the world, drawing a straight line between Obama’s ever-yielding foreign policy and the increasing troubles around the world. Rice

“Right now, there’s a vacuum,” she told a crowd of more than two thousand attending the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual dinner last night in Washington, D.C. “There’s a vacuum because we’ve decided to lower our voice. We’ve decided to step back.

It’s a little too late now, Condi.

You had your chance, yet you endorsed him in the elections.

Ditto

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. An occasional sensible statement does not make up for dozens of stupid ones!

Hey Condi what is the GOP ‘red line’ considering Russia is not as ‘doable’ as Iraq and they do have the ‘mushroom cloud’ maker? Action today please, no coulda, woulda, shoulda.

But she’d vote for him again, if she could.

Condi was ineffective and incompetent as Secretary of State herself, so she is well equipped to recognize incompetence in others when she sees it.

If you're so smart Condi, why didn't you see this coming?

Seems you let your emotions get ahead of you, huh?

Look at the situation as it stands today. Having already given him two chances, and now discovering the Current Occupant just does not measure up, Condi would be free to say “Look, the (”n” word indicating “black”) failed.”

Every Catholic in America voted for JFK in 1960.

Condi, Condi, what ever happened to racial solidarity? Oh, that’s right, you endorsed him when he was elected; you can change now in-between elections.

Sic semper tyrannis? I’m rusty on my Latin.

Condi. Weakness is Strength for Obama supporters. Black is white, Up is down, and so forth. An argument like yours might carry weight with a republican audience but will simply roll off the back of the typical low-information voter that Obama cultivates.

If you want to get under Obama’s thin-skin and make headway with his supporters... ridicule him. He can’t take it and the low-information voters? The like nothing better than to be entertained.

“Every Catholic in America voted for JFK in 1960.”

Nope. Not true.

My parents did NOT.

That’s my memory, too...

I was hoping she’d emerge as a counter to Shrillary.
