Some of the criticism that hurled at Bush upon his decision to appoint Rice and Powell was that they would be token minorities who would have no real power, but that assertion was quickly discounted with intimate consultation with Bush on all aspects of foreign affairs, particularly that involving the escalating crisis in the Middle East.
Had to eat crow on that one, eh?

Shelton told United Press International that while his organization celebrates Rice and Powell's role in the administration, it recognizes that they have no impact on domestic policy important to blacks.
-1- Some people simply refuse to be satisfied.
-2- And does Rod Paige have no impact on domestic policy important to blacks? I repeat, some people refuse to be satisfied.

Look at all the failing schools, 95% of them are in democratically controled cities and districts, and yet democrats keep getting elected and they blame the failing schools on republicans. It's like Florida vote mess. All the areas where they were crying about and claiming Bush rigged the election, The democrats ran the elections they were the majority on the election boards, they decided what vating machines were going to be used and they designed the ballot, But it's the republicans fault...Go Figure!!!!!

I want to know, what exactly the h#ll is wrong with these people.
