I don't agree with Condi on much of anything, if anything...

But I applaud her for this classy statement. :applause:

Good for her.

:silly:

She's got the personality of a freakin turnip.

Her track record is. A complete failure as National Security Adviser. Ignored numerous, specific, loud warning about what became 9/11.

She is finished as a politician, now that she will no longer have the protection of her office and bushco.

See, there's no such thing as someone who is ALL bad.

....and take your pick from the array of cronies Bush has appointed under him during the past seven and a half years including Ms. Rice!

...Michelle will deck Condi for the long count

Hey, don't worry about that video being taken off-line, I have another the same + a wee bit of music added.

But I don't have enough posts to be able to start a topic so I don't think I can embed it anywhere in DU until I get a few more replies under my belt.

So I will just give a link to the video page on YouTube -

Secretary Condoleezza Rice
Walter E. Washington Convention Center
Washington, DC
June 3, 2008

QUESTION: Madame Secretary, any comment on Senator Barack Obama's historical nomination today? It's an historic moment.

QUESTION: It's historic -- and you've said -- and you've spoken before on this issue. I was just wondering if you could just make some brief comments on the historic nature of it.

SECRETARY RICE: Obviously, I'm not going to get into politics. But let me just say that the United States of America is an extraordinary country. It's a country that has overcome many, many, now years, decades, actually a couple of centuries, of trying to make good on its principles. And I think that what we're seeing is an extraordinary expression of the fact that "we the people" is beginning to mean all of us.

And I congratulate both Senator Obama and Senator McCain on their respective campaigns, and Senator Clinton on hers as well. And I look forward to viewing it all from the sidelines as a voter. Thank you.

(Added music is 'America the Beautiful')
