(Condoleezza) Rice focuses on the personal, not political (defends BHO, praises HRC)
Washington Post ^ | October 16, 2010 | Glenn Kessler

EXCERPTS

Later, at an evening appearance at the Aspen Institute, Rice said she and Obama "covered the waterfront." "Despite the fact there are changes and tussles, there is still a foreign policy community that believes that foreign policy ought to be bipartisan," she said. "It was really great that he reached out in that way."

Rice rolled her eyes at the notion that Obama is a closet Muslim, and she defended him from criticism - led by former vice president Richard B. Cheney - that Obama has weakened the country. "Nothing in this president's methods suggests this president is other than a defender of America's interests," Rice told an audience that included presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett.

Speaking to Fox News's Bill O'Reilly, she lavished praise on her successor, Hillary Rodham Clinton: "I think she is doing a lot of the right things. . . . She is very tough. . . . I think she has done a fine job, I really do."

Rice even chastised former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) for his assertion that Obama has a "Kenyan, anticolonial" worldview. "That's over the top, and I don't think very helpful," she told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC.

Just another idiot with her head so deep in the sand she can’t see the truth.

Just what is with these “black” racists? Can’t they respect the legacy of MLK and judge people on their merits? Racists!

> was asked to ‘return to the porch’ by some black guest on Fox.

What a despicable comment.

Amazing how the Left can use racial imagery, even epithets, with impunity.

“”Nothing in this president’s methods suggests this president is other than a defender of America’s interests,””

She hasn’t been paying attention then. This is so maddening, I had to come back to it.

She says obozo isn’t a Muslim but of course, no one will ask her what evidence she’s seen that says he’s a Christian? She’s always claimed to be one but now I wonder about that.

I guess none of her interviews will center on the radicals in the administration, the deficits, the out of control spending, the discord in the country, the takeover of private enterprise, the dastardly healthcare reform, the corruption, the pork barrel spending, the failure of the stimulus package etc. etc.

It’s still all about color and it doesn’t matter what happens to the country!!

I know I’m not the only disappointed one here. I don’t want to see her face again.....

Yeah, but why couldn’t it be someone like Alan Keyes or Thomas Sowell?
:(

“You couldn’t give me her book.

Exactly. Because of her comments, her book will end up in the Costco sale pile pretty quickly. The left wasn’t going to buy it anyway and the right definitely won’t buy it now. And the middle? There are plenty of other books out there worth buying that are competing with hers.”

You mean you guys only read books if they agree with your point of view?

“I feel betrayed: Laura, Colin, now Condi...”

I saw through all three years ago, but got beat up when the truth was spoken. Pro abortion, pro homosexuality, etc.

“Condi was born into the segregated South...”

This is no excuse...she “feels” what? Voting does not ask you to “FEEL” but to THINK and make an INFORMED CHOICE. 95% of Blacks are apparently incapable of this challenge so they vote for race.

Wow... I guess we know now who was undermining G.W. Bush.

Bush undermined himself in the end.

Of course, it didn't help that he was surrounded by fellow RINOs, progressives, statist, and globalists.

I just don’t see them making an informed choice with their voting PRIVILEGE (NOT a “right”). They just vote en bloc for RATs or for skin color.

“Michael Savage was correct in asserting that Rice is a “lightweight.” “

ROTFLAMO!!! This clown calling Condi Rice a lightweight...that’s rich.
