"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."

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I bet she even voted for the SOB.

[musicman]

A job offer perhaps??

[Nepeta]

Very disappointing to have melanin trump everything. This won’t go anywhere good.

[steel_resolve]

If you were wondering if she said that because they’re both black and not because their foreign policy goals aligned, you can stop wondering.

[Vendome]

Gosh!

I’m so surprised. But then you knew she was going to come out affirming the anointed one.

[chickadee]

I was going to say - hey, the lefties were wrong about Condie. See? She IS black after all.

This account does not agree.

[skeeter]

Too bad. I would’ve figured Dr Rice, if anyone, would be among the 9% who aren’t marching in lockstep.

[Calvin Locke]

I thought she was disappointing at Foggy Bottom. I first gave her the benefit of the doubt, since Bush was so disappointing, and I figured she was doing his bidding.

But it quickly became apparent that she was agreeing with Bush’s missteps.

[eyedigress]

If she wants to weigh in on her Russian political expertise then more power to her.

[kromike]

Farewell, Ms. Rice. I no longer have any respect for you.

[dforest]

She is a tool.

[Paladin2]

"a foreign policy community that believes that foreign policy ought to be bipartisan"

Uh sure, both Sunni and Shiite.

[stocksthatgoup]

We should be just a bipartisan as the Democrats were under President George W. Bush.

A Different Slant on Obama

One 82-year-old lady loves Obama and she may have a very good point. She says that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream! She gives us an entirely new slant on the “amazing” job Obama is doing, and she says that she will thank God for the President. Keep reading for her additional comments and an explanation.

When discussing Obama, she says:

1. Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary’s presidential aspirations - something no Republican was ever able to do.

2. Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home.

3. Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid - soon to be GONE! These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed. By the end of 2010, dozens more will be gone. Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats.
The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. However, in just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the House - if not the Senate - back to the Republicans.

4. Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well:

Liberals tax, borrow and spend.

Liberals won’t bring themselves to protect America.

Liberals want to take over the economy.

Liberals think they know what is best for everyone.

Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.

5. Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans.
Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!

6. Obama, with his “amazing leadership,” has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a “stimulus” to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore.

7. In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was going. I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been flat wrong.

8. When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans!

Again, I want to say: “Thank you, Barack Obama!” After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!!

November 2nd is HUGE!!!!

Please encourage others to Vote.............forward this onward, if you like.

[kittymyrib]

Tan people stick together. Rice was one of W’s weak links.

[Cheetahcat]

A female version of the worthless Powell,expect nothing from her as I suspect she is a obama supporter and will trash this country for 12% of the population.

Every time she opens her mouth it is about the Jim Crow south!! What the hell does that have to do with us? She has been given plenty and never a thank you back,Like that toy general Colon who screwed up GW1.
