WASHINGTON -- Condoleezza Rice says it's a remarkable accomplishment that a black politician is on track for his party's presidential nomination.

The secretary of state says it's great for the country that Barack Obama is the expected Democratic nominee. Rice says it shows that the U.S. has come a long way. Rice herself is the second black to be America's top diplomat. Colin Powell was the first.

Rice also is making clear that she doesn't want to be considered for vice president. She wants to return to California and write a book about America's foreign policy when President Bush leaves office in January.

Rice also says in a television interview that aired Sunday that she has decided which candidate she will vote for in November.

The only trouble is, Obama isn't Black--- he's RED.

Condi - he’s half black. Why do you ignore that fact? He was raised white.

You left off the most "interesting" part:

Rice also says in a television interview that aired Sunday that she has decided which candidate she will vote for in November. She just isn't saying in public who it will be.

Gee, why's that Condi?

As Rice Continues to open her mouth, she shows a whole new side to who she is.... plus... her statements on Israel were unacceptable.

Exactly!!

Obama is not a “gain for blacks” .. and that’s a terrible shame.

But .. the blacks have allowed the dems to spoon feed them, pamper them, and teach them how to be victims. Now, the white dems are going to push them aside (ala Hillary), and take them for a ride .. someplace I’m sure they don’t want to go.

And .. what in the world are they going to do if Obama loses - TEAR AMERICA APART ..?? Very scary thought!

Well, I see Condi's still living in that same Bizarro world that has led to her equally perverse comments about the Middle East.

Condi - he’s half black.

If OJ Simpson had been nominated, I guess she'd be twice as thrilled.

So nothing racial here, right? Is it the color of skin or his qualifications that he is the RAT party nomination? You tell me!

Remarkable, considering he is totally unqualified and uninformed.

What disturbs me most when reading this, is that so many of us thought she’d be a great presidential candidate just a few years ago...

Strange. I see it as just the opposite.

"Strange. I see it as just the opposite."

And I agree. An anti-American racist being the first American of Black ancestry running for POTUS is a disgrace!
