That isn't the reason you don't want Condi for president.
Apparently you are looking for perfect, there is no such man or woman. This time around anyone would have been better than obama.
Yes, even McCain.
In fact I would have voted for anyone of the Pubbies that ran to keep this muslim out of the White House. Even Ron Paul!
Sady you're right. Our only hope is that BHO causes the next Reagan to emerge.

WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gushed yesterday that Sen. Barack Obama is an “extraordinary person” and said it won’t be long before the nation gets its first black president.
Sounding like she had come down with a severe case of Obama-mania, Rice affectionately referred to the Democratic senator - a Foreign Relations Committee member - as a member of “my committee,” since she frequently testifies there.
“I think he’s very appealing and a great person,” she enthused. “He’s on my committee. And we’ve always had good exchanges. I think he’s an extraordinary person.”
Rice - who has repeatedly denied having an interest in running for president herself - said barriers to blacks have been disappearing one by one, and that the door to the White House may soon swing open.
“I don’t need another job in government with anybody,” she said. “Look, I’m a Republican, all right? Sen. McCain is a fine patriot, and … he would be a great president. But there’s something to be said for fresh blood. And I know that there are a lot of very good people who could be his vice president.”
During the interview in a regal room at the State Department appointed with chandeliers, rich carpets and cases of porcelain, Rice was asked: “Would you feel safe with a President Obama?”
“Oh, the United States will be fine,” she responded. “I think that we are having an important debate about how we keep the country safe. I think we are having an important debate about our responsibilities, our obligations, our interests in the Middle East in the wake of the now increasing evidence of success in Iraq. Those are important judgments for the American people to make.”
WASHINGTON — An emotional Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reveled Wednesday in Barack Obama’s election, calling it an “extraordinary step forward” for the nation...Rice called the Democratic president-elect “inspirational” and said his victory was proof of America’s promise.
“This was an exercise in American democracy of which Americans across the political spectrum are justifiably proud,” she said.
“As an African-American, I’m especially proud,” said Rice, her eyes glistening with emotion, “because this is a country that’s been through a long journey, in terms of overcoming wounds and making race” less of a factor in life. “That work is not done, but yesterday was obviously an extraordinary step forward.”
“One of the great things about representing this country is that it continues to surprise,” she told reporters at the State Department at a hastily arranged briefing just hours before leaving Washington for the Middle East on a peacemaking trip. “It continues to renew itself. It continues to beat all odds and expectations.”
So, you’d vote for Pat Buchanan if that was the choice?
