Say what you want about Condi's politics and some of her past actions, but like it or not, you have to admit it's Dubya that elevated an African American woman to the position of Secretary of State. An African American woman representing the United States as its highest officer of diplomacy...something MANY people didn't think they'd see in their lifetimes...

I think that Condi Rice is an idiot(I don't care if she has a "Dr." in front of her name.There are such things as educated derelicts after all) who lied to Congress about the war in Iraq.If her name was Oliver North,she would be facing 10 felony counts.

I've never had a discussion or argument here that wasn't at the very least entertaining, and in the best case scenario, educational. I think things are fine as they are. |

I believe this subject would be better placed in a more appropriate forum, but I just have to respond to this by saying that I applaud the President's choice of Dr. Condoleeza Rice for the position of Secretary of State. The woman is well-educated, knowledgeable, highly qualified, and is absolutely brilliant! I feel she will do a much better job than Colin Powell did and will help present a much more unified Cabinet.
Just take a few moments and read about her...
Biography of Dr. Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor
Dr. Condoleezza Rice became the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor, on January 22, 2001.
In June 1999, she completed a six year tenure as Stanford University 's Provost, during which she was the institution's chief budget and academic officer. As Provost she was responsible for a $1.5 billion annual budget and the academic program involving 1,400 faculty members and 14,000 students.
As professor of political science, Dr. Rice has been on the Stanford faculty since 1981 and has won two of the highest teaching honors -- the 1984 Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 1993 School of Humanities and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching.
At Stanford, she has been a member of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, a Senior Fellow of the Institute for International Studies, and a Fellow (by courtesy) of the Hoover Institution. Her books include Germany Unified and Europe Transformed (1995) with Philip Zelikow, The Gorbachev Era (1986) with Alexander Dallin, and Uncertain Allegiance: The Soviet Union and the Czechoslovak Army (1984). She also has written numerous articles on Soviet and East European foreign and defense policy, and has addressed audiences in settings ranging from the U.S. Ambassador's Residence in Moscow to the Commonwealth Club to the 1992 and 2000 Republican National Conventions.
From 1989 through March 1991, the period of German reunification and the final days of the Soviet Union, she served in the Bush Administration as Director, and then Senior Director, of Soviet and East European Affairs in the National Security Council, and a Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, she served as Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 1997, she served on the Federal Advisory Committee on Gender -- Integrated Training in the Military.
She was a member of the boards of directors for the Chevron Corporation, the Charles Schwab Corporation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the University of Notre Dame, the International Advisory Council of J.P. Morgan and the San Francisco Symphony Board of Governors. She was a Founding Board member of the Center for a New Generation, an educational support fund for schools in East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park, California and was Vice President of the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula. In addition, her past board service has encompassed such organizations as Transamerica Corporation, Hewlett Packard, the Carnegie Corporation, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, The Rand Corporation, the National Council for Soviet and East European Studies, the Mid-Peninsula Urban Coalition and KQED, public broadcasting for San Francisco.
Born November 14, 1954 in Birmingham, Alabama, she earned her bachelor's degree in political science, come laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver in 1974; her master's from the University of Notre Dame in 1975; and her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has been awarded honorary doctorates from Morehouse College in 1991, the University of Alabama in 1994, the University of Notre Dame in 199 |

She does already spend her weekends, holidays, vacations, etc... with the president and his family. Guess they're pretty tight knit. |

I didn't think that it could get worse; I was wrong. Condi Rice is now Secretary of State. Pucker up, Condi, a little more posterior licking, and you'll be Vice President. |

Pioneer is right. Too many Dumbya supporters. Colin Powell did the right thing though; he got away from the smell of the hog farm that Washington, D.C. has become. |

Hey, I'm sort of tolerant of Shawanucks (whites), since I'm part white.
My Shawnee side took a few scalps and bopped a few whites with tomahawks, but what would they have had to do for entertainment if they weren't capturing some of those fine Shawanuck women. Made heap good wives!
We liked them red haired ones. They were fiesty! |

I think that everybody is pretty tolerant of each others views. We may not all agree, but we all have to agree that everyone is entitled to their own point of view. sheesh, wouldn't it be boring if we all agreed about everything???

I have seen so many different perspectives here, and so well written and thought out, that it's a wonderful place to see how vast and varied our culture is. I am especially pleased with how those who disagree don't let it get in the way of being comrades on the Board. There are perhaps 1 or 2 exceptions, but they seem to represent a very real part of our society, too, no? I appreciate it all, especially since I do NOT watch TV or read a newspaper. But these are not choices... whenever I have tried to listen to the news or read about it, my mind decides to go on a sojourn of its own, and before I know it, I'm on another road and the show is over! I guess it's just where my Muse wants to go, and that's why I'm an artist.
