Wouldn't it be "black irony" if the veep and and the president were non-white.

Oh the cackling, oh the hysterics,
oh the caterwalling,
oh the name calling,
oh the hatemongering,
oh the fearmongering,
oh the name calling that would happen.

The racists and bigots in this country would implode - which would probably be a good thing.

CLUEless, Token, BIMBO !!!

USA would have been better protected with the Marx Brothers running the show..........

• how the CIA tracked—and then lost—two of the hijackers when they entered the United States more than twenty months before the attacks

• the devastating consequences of the crippling rivalry between the CIA and FBI as the United States moved unwittingly toward 9/11

In a dramatic narrative, Why America Slept exposes the frequent mistakes made by law enforcement and government agencies, and demonstrates how the failures to prevent 9/11 were tragically not an exception but typical. Along the way, by delving into terror financing, the links between far-flung terror organizations, and how the United States responded over the years to other attacks, Posner also makes a damning case that 9/11 could have been prevented.

Why America Slept lays to rest two years of conjecture about what led up to the worst terror attacks in America’s history. This breakthrough book presents an infuriating review of how incompetence and misplaced priorities made America an easy target for terrorists.

Not TOO misleading of a headline!

The country will be fine is HARDLY an endorsement of Obama, what's she going to say? "That clueless clown will have us in 3rd world status in 6 months"!
(But, I'm SURE that's more along the lines of what she was thinking!)

The bottom line here is that Rice said that McCAIN WOULD BE A "GREAT PRESIDENT" - her comment that America will be fine is NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF OBAMA BUFFOON but she was not going to diss her own race and "roots" by pointing out the truth that America would be in great danger under an Obama Presidency! Says a little about her integrity and judgement though - No V.P. slot for you now Condi! No desire to see you there!

Wow. Funny how some of you bash her, and the rest of you assume she was only 'lying' about Obama so as not to 'diss her race'.

Why not take her at her word? She says she prefers McCain and thinks he'd be the better president-- no shock there. She also says America would be "just fine" with Obama as the President, because she's too smart to buy into all the silly fear-mongering and smearing that the ultra-righties do.

I think it was a sensible, measured response. But funny how anyone who doesn't claim Obama will "ruin America" comes under attack from you boo-birds.

My Friend Condi Rice hass to say nice things About Senator Obama. So do I, But let's not forget that when Condi was in charged of our home land defence she couldn't imagine that they enemy would use commercial airliners as missiles even though she was given the information moths before she did imagine it could come true. Thats why we need to elect me so I can fill my administration with people just like her.

Hillary supporters from that 3rd world State of Mississippi should shut up!! You rebel flag waving morons would never vote for a Black man in public office. Your opinion is like that hole of a state you are from. Like a bunch of turds.

Riddle me this, klansman. How is your sister and your first cousin the same person?!!?!?!

Oh how wrong you are O racist one.
I, for one, would love to see Condi as president. She would make a better president than either Obama or McCain.
I would LOVE to se McCain pick Condi as VP ... He could do no better.
She is one smart cookie.
Barack would NEVER choose Condi ... She would be too much of a contrast and make him feel like the clueless bafoon he is.

You should know .... with a 70% illegitimate rate, it is no wonder blacks call each other brother and sister ... for they very well may be.

I saw for myself. If you think that was an endorsement of John McCain, you must think McDonald's is a gourmet restaurant. Rice's reference suggesting McCain could use some fresh blood for vice president sounded more like an offer of a transfusion than an endorsement.

I hope Rice's statement reaches everyone in America, especially the "no experience" babblers.

She's right to endorse Obama, but who really cares what she thinks anyway? She couldn't convince George Bush to prevent the 9-11 attacks even with the evidence in her hands. She and Bush are abject failures, useless and unqualified, like all the neoCons.

Grandpa McSame WOULD make a great president, but not of the USA. Instead he should be president of his condo association. That way, no one will get hurt.
