In an interview with Politico and Yahoo News released Thursday, Rice was asked if she would feel secure with a president Obama.
"Oh, the United States will be fine," she responded. "I think that we are having an important debate about how we keep the country safe," she said, pointing to the Middle East and Iraq.

Yes, I am. This is exactly what John Q. Public, who’s too lazy to read the entire article, will think.
the US would be safe... the people hwoever would be F***’D
I saw that quote of hers, and took it the same way,
basically, the United States will be fine IN SPITE OF AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY,
(and she’s willing to chance that in order to have a high melanin content President for the first time in history)
Rice and Powell are two idiots. Yes idiots. Powell is a treasonous turn-coat, while Rice is Albright-lite. I had high hopes for her while she was Security adviser, but since she got into Foggy Bottom she has turned into a typical State Department bot. If I have my facts straight she is also socially liberal.
I only they’d at least shoot peas. They keep falling all over themselves (especially condi) to make us think the Rats have America’s interest in mind.
What's she supposed to say? Imagine if she said.
You would hear about it for weeks. They'd be calling her a racist and everything else in the book.
I agree that the Sec State must be VERY careful about what she says about an upcoming election. If she comes out and says we are in mortal danger if Obama is elected, what signal does that send to our enemies if it comes to pass? Mis-statements by diplomats have a way of becoming self-fulfilling prophecies.
On the other hand, knowing this full well, I would have preferred that she say nothing at all on this subject.
Seems like we are seeing a trend here: Armstrong Williams, JC Watts, and now Condi.
Disappointing, but we still have logical folks like Michael Steele, Ken Blackwell, and Thomas Sowell.
The question is whether our foreign policy is safe under Rice.
Exactly.. of course, this won't stop the knee jerk Olympics.
“Is anyone else distrurbed by the fact that the headline makes it appear that Rice is endorsing Obama, while the article makes it appear she’s being “diplomatic?””
That was my impression. What the mainstream media reports cannot be fully trusted. People need to be discerning about what is said and the way it’s presented.
Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
No, we are seeing a trend in the media twisting quotes to make it appear their annointed one is blessed by these folks.
and Obama will use in his next speech
Oh, I think some “knee jerking” is highly in order,
because it’s obvious that she’s willing to risk the security and prosperity of America in order to have someone with approximately the same skin color as she has as president.
And I was one of those that thought she’d make a good president, way back when.
Nope , she is lightweights. Name “anything”
she has succeeded at.
I’m not in agreement with the left that pointing out racism is itself “racist”.
That’s a “debating technique” used by the left to silence dissent.
