1) Obama knows that she is well-qualified to serve as the Secretary of State, because she has had many years of experience working with other countries as the U.S. ambassador to the UN.
2) Black oh as in treating them second class citizens? Last I checked, the Emancipation Proclamation freed African Americans from being a second class citizens, and solidified by the Brown vs the Board of Education landmark decision, so I'm pretty sure that she is among many peers one of their brightest and the best of their own people.
3) I am a woman, hear me ROAR! The Suffrage movement has helped women gain the right to vote when Susan B Anthony and her dollar coins was constantly pelted to men and poll workers who denied women the right to exist and not be treated as a second class citizens.
4) Rice - there is only one Rice I am aware of, and that is the qualified Secretary of State nominee Susan Rice. Condosleezy can go bury her ugly mug deep down somewhere where no-one cares where you are buried
I am sick and tired of the Republicans cro-magnon men not having the empathy of a human being to understand that Rice is a qualified candidate for the Secretary of State jobs.
Maybe it's past time for those cro-magnons to go back to their time - by dropping them off the edge of the Earth.
