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.

“Show me where she said she was voting for Barry because he is black.”

thank you, SVCW.

READ THE ARTICLE FOLKS!

[Apollo 13]

Thank you. My thoughts exactly. She was being courteous to a serious rival for her own candidate - and that takes courage in the current climate. It shows that she can put herself above ongoing debate.
I disagree with her on various issues too. But to be as modest as she was here makes it possible to shave off petty personal rows from important discussions, and to concentrate on central topics. Showing respect for adversaries is a true quality; and Condi lets us know here that it’s not her in the end who will decide the outcome of the election; it’s the people of the States who are invited to subject Obama’s stances to very close scrutiny, and then decide.
Dutch hat off, then.

Apollo 13, my hat’s off to you, too!

Rice is a gracious person. We should all learn from her.

But our great system itself is under attack. Little by little, we are allowing the increasingly far left democrats to chip away at it. It cannot withstand this onslaught forever.

She’s technically correct. The US wouldn’t be overrun by barbarian hordes during an osama administration. I don’t see where an osama president could do much more to undermine foundations of our republic and sell national secrets to the highest bidder than The Bent One did,

[KC_Conspirator]

I noticed that too. This article is biased. All she did was be diplomatic.

[Emmett McCarthy]

I think that any commentary on politics by someone in Rice’s position is inappropriate and a mistake on her part. She should be enough of a diplomat to side-step answering.

[FateRewritten]

The question posed by the reporter specifically stated ". . .under Obama".
She basically dodged the question. I have no respect for anyone who can't stand up for what they mean.

Here is a good quote:
"Mean what you say, Say what you mean, avoid any equovications"

[McKayopectate]

I’ve never had a proper read on Condi. Now I know.

Goodbye, honey!

[srmorton]

I agree. She was a part of the GHW Bush administration because she is one of the foremost experts on the Soviet Union in the United States. She is NOT an affirmative action nominee. She became personally close to GW during his father's administration and is one of his biggest supporters. All she really wants to do is go back to Stanford where a tenured position which she EARNED is waiting for her. No one on this board has ANY idea how she or any other black Republican will vote in November.

equivocations**

[ETL]

She apparently thinks it's "great" for our country that Obama is making a strong run for the presidency DESPITE the fact that he is a hard core radical leftist.

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

“Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that the headline makes it appear that Rice is endorsing Obama, while the article makes it appear she’s being “diplomatic?””

I am more disturbed by the reaction here on FR. What do you expect the Sec of State to say about the Democratic Nominee for president???? What do you thing the President would say or the Presidents spokesman to say??? They will be diplomatic. It's John McCains job to attack Obama not the current administration.

I am amazed at some of the reactions on this board.

[definitelynotaliberal]

You said that exactly right. She was asked point-blank. She answered. I don’t know how else she could’ve answered such a leading question.

[Fox_Mulder77]

She had to answer the question that way...... if she would have said anything negative the MSM would scream bloody murder, and John McCain would throw her under the bus the same way he did the Republican Party in N.C.

But our great system itself is under attack. Little by little, we are allowing the increasingly far left democrats to chip away at it. It cannot withstand this onslaught forever.

..and the battlefront is not just legislative, the left is also attacking the core of our Conservative values, our rugged individualism, optimism, and realization that our power comes from us as individuals, not from a Washington DC zip code. The greatest victories the left has achieved is the day we started looking for solutions in DC and we started letting what happens there affect our daily lives. We are giving them the power by giving up our own.

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

Yes, it is.

It would also be a remarkable accomplishment if you or I were a presidential nominee.

[svcw]

So. I think its great also, it exposes the dems for who they really are.

[EagleUSA]

Obama has taken positions that would undermine basic national security if they were implemented.
:::::
Rice is about as conservative as Powell is. Why she is pandering to this reprobate of an anti-American socialist is beyond me...or maybe that is just the way it is in Washington nowadays. Politics over country every day. What a farse. Obama is far more dangerous than Carter and Clinton ever could have been.
