If ever you needed further proof of the "person of color" America really needs in charge right now, I urge you to watch this fabulous YouTube footage of the magnificent Condoleezza Rice being ambushed by left-liberal students at Stanford University with a series of "difficult" questions about torture, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay and US foreign policy under George W Bush. (Hat tip: Andrew Hamilton.)

Her coolness under fire is magnificent, but more impressive still is her refusal to duck the issues. "Sorry we have to leave", an official can be heard saying off camera, but Condi isn't going to take the easy way out: she wants to stand up for her principles and put the pantywaists in their place.

"Let me tell you something: unless you were there in a position of responsibility after September 11 you cannot possibly imagine the dilemmas that we faced in trying to protect Americans," she says.

"Maybe before you make allegations about Guantanamo, you should READ," says Condi, with exquisitely measured .

Condi, you are a star and if America won't have you as our next president, please will you come over and be our next Queen instead?

This is why you simply do not get the job she was doing, as Secretary of State. If you can’t recognize detente in spoken word, I can’t help you. Oh, and, unlike other administrations, Condi didn’t use her job as a political platform to espouse her personal views. But there are some nice, in depth articles written about her where she is directly quoted. I suggest you read them.

I remember detente. That was where we gave up arms, while the Soviets kept building.

We are being run by cowards...

We can't get anyone better to even think about running for office because of the way we treat our politicians. The minute the dems start scrounging around in their background we throw up our hand and start throwing rocks at them. We NEVER stand up for our own side.

It's like the guy who beats his wife all the time and then moans and groans when she cheats on him.

[truthguy]

Yes she did hand these students their *sses.

[gogogodzilla]

Just wanted to know where you stand.

Thanks for the information.

[Cacique]

To the ruling leftist oligarchy Condi is not black because she is not genetically engineered to be a commie like Obama.

Your welcome

More specific:

I'm a Christian

Conservative

Capitalist

Independent by nature

Vote Republican because Democrats since Truman are to far left for me. I don't agree with any president on all things, none are God,only men with feet of clay,subject to mistakes to numerous to mention. With the exception of Carter I believe the others loved this country, This One does not.

I think "The One" hates my country,our military and will destroy all I hold dear. I fear for my children and my grand children's future.

So, yes I would have voted for anyone running as a Republican. Period.

I have a Condi for President bumper sticker I bought at the Republican Convention in 2006. Unfortunately, they nominated McPain-in-the-butt. I wish Arlen would take him with him. Do you think anyone would notice he was gone?
