“My fellow Americans, you cannot lead from behind!”

Smack down obama!

[onemiddleamerican]

And she is kicking Obama admin ass, in that salmon silk suit.

[bigbob]

Condi commands respect and fully deserves it. I have to wonder sometimes if comments from the DUmp are getting cross-posted on here tonight.

[TomGuy]

She is giving a college seminar lecture on international relations.

Dull.

[Miss Didi]

She told the Friends she already had the “top” position and is happy to remain in education.

[defconw]

Loving Condi, what a sharp woman she is.

[Wisconsinlady]

I haven’t heard Condi mention Obama yet

She IS kicking the crap out of China, though

[milagro]

Wow! Condi is kicking!! And with such grace!

That is what struck me as she walked onto the stage... what an elegant lady. She is class and intelligence. She understands why America needs to lead. Agree with every point or not, I cannot understand any here who would seek to diminish her.

[GRRRRR]

I wonder what handicap she’ll carry at Augusta?

“Peace really does come through strength”
“We support free markets and free peoples”

She is hammering Hillary and Obozo with equal gusto!

[rodguy911]

Couldn't care less. Her words are so far above everyone else who has spoken,peace through strength,does not get any better.

[gop4lyf]

Condi has lipstick on her teeth.

[1035rep]

She sure did!

[KosmicKitty]

Condi is probably one of the smartest individuals to be SOS

[publana]

Condi’s kicking Obama butt on his horrid foreign policy in a way that even a fifth grader can understand! i am just stunned. Thank God the RNC had the guts to bring her to the Convention.

[onyx]

GMTA - I posted the same quote to Penelopesire!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

that was strong, yet dignified! Go for it Condi...!

[mnehring]

I have to wonder sometimes if comments from the DUmp are getting cross-posted on here tonight.

There must be a virus or something. I see DU posts scattered in with Free Republic posts. You are right.

[onyx]

I’ll say!
