I don’t think you were duped when you respected Condi.
She deserved that respect for the immense amount of learning and work and intelligence she brought to the cabinet table.
She never asked for your vote, so it’s okay to continue to respect her for what she did with her life. You don’t have to feel obligated to stop respecting her if she isn’t 100% in your political corner.
Just because I’m becoming more hard nosed about my politics since Obama doesn’t mean I am going to give up my ability to value good people who aren’t running for office.
But she is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and seems to be more interested in the global community than America. That saddens me.
