2008 Obama voter Rice, who later refused to say how she voted, revealed herself in her first public statements after Obama's 2008 election. Before she could formalize her "diplomatic" cover in refusals to answer and feigned neutrality, Rice exposed herself as another GOP fraud in her following first response :
YOUTUBE 11/05/2008 RICE STATEMENT ON OBAMA VICTORY (LINK):
"President elect Obama was inspirational and I'm certain he will continue to be."I transcribed her statement accurately but it is still CRITICAL that you view her demeanor, to make a judgement. This was the day after the election before she could sublimate her emotions beneath the cover of a more neutral and diplomatically flat response, as in the following."...this country... continues to surprise, it continues to renew itself, it continues to beat all odds and expectations. You just know that Americans are not going to be satisfied until they really do form that perfect union and while the perfect union may never be in sight, we keep working at it and trying. And I just want to close on a personal note, as an African-Americam, I'm especially proud."

"There is a widely held belief in Washington, anyway, that you voted for Barack Obama," Braver said.Why call Obama's election a step toward a more "perfect union?""And as secretary of state, I'm going to keep my partisan or non-partisan views to myself on that," Rice said. "But I think all Americans were taken with the fact that we were able, after the long history that we've been through, that initial birth defect of slavery that we elected an African American."
What does the exuberance of her response and her unrestrainable smile tell you?
If the Obama's election made her "especially proud", do you think she went into the voting both and did pulled the lever to NOT become "especially proud" and NOT to "work" and "try" for a more "perfect union?"
Most of us here knew exactly what obama is.
I find it hard to believe that someone in her position, considering her access, wouldn't have a much clearer picture.
Instead, she comes across as almost schoolgirl giddy.
She must have gotten a tingle from the Presidential crease of his pants that blinded her common sense or something...
