Condoleeza Rice is more qualified than both Hillary and Obama to be president. Would you agree?.?
Condi has a track record of running things and dealing with budgets and dealing with budget deficits. She is proven herself adept at being at the helm and running things. As Stanford's Provost, Dr. Rice was responsible for managing the university's multi-billion dollar budget. The school at that time was running a deficit of $20 million. When Rice took office, she promised that the budget deficit would be balanced within "two years". Says Coit Blacker, Stanford's deputy director of the Institute for International Studies, "There was a sort of conventional wisdom that said it couldn't be done ... that [the deficit] was structural, that we just had to live with it." Two years later, Rice convened a meeting to announce that not only had the deficit been balanced, but the university was holding a record surplus of over $14.5 million Rice has also served on the board of directors of many major corporations and banks. Chevron honored Rice by naming an oil tanker Condoleezza Rice.
Public Comments
- Shes more qualified than Bush and he's been president for 6 years.
- besides, she is HOT!
- Only thing is she parrots George Bush and she is a double talker. No one really ever knows what she is saying.
- She ignored critical CIA intell prior to 9/11. I say no. The brief was entitled something like "Osama Bin Laden Plans to Attack Twin Towers".
- Ms. Rice has never held an elected office whereas both Hillary and Barak have been elected to the US Senate. Moreover, Both Hillary and Barak have spouses and children, much like the vast majority of Americans. A childless, never-married man or woman will have not the slightest clue as to what is important to the average America.
- No. She has no integrity, as shes part of the reason why we have 3100 dead. See her at the hearing choking on her words when it got heated. Shes not presidential material. And the people have seen her attachment to Bush, for anyone who had any integrity would not cover up Bushes tracks. And the people know this
- Yes, but she is too smart to want the job.
- I agree with you 100 percent.
- I speak from experience here: Believe me when mad, an angry black woman is much more terrifying than an angry white guy. So, thatll solve a bunch of diplomatic issues right there. Think about it Condi tells Jong Il: Hey, what i tell you about playing with bombs, put it down b4 i comeover there and slap ya into next year!
- I would TOTALLY AGREE. She is more competent in every way, her track record is impeccable and as a human being she is streets ahead and in a different world. There IS NO possible objective comparison that can be made
- "Adept at being at the helm" doesn't apply to Rice, who as head National Security Adviser completely ignored the security briefing meeting memo titled "Al Qaeda Determined to Strike Within US Boundaries" prior to 9-11, lied about having received that warning, then claimed she was helpless to act on it because the terrorists didn't send her a blueprint of their plans by certified mail describing the identity of the hijackers, their flight numbers, and the time, date and target of the attacks. No, she isn't qualified to be president.
- I don't believe there is any valid debate over your contention. I know she's probably forgotten more than Hillary and Obama together will ever know.
- Rice has turned into a bush apologist, toeing the party line and defending every one of his missteps. She has lost credibility. I'm sorry to say, so has McCain, after his performance in the 2004 election. I used to think McC had principles.
- Condi is undoubtedly not only more qualified than those two but probably more qualified than most other candidates and potential candidates as well. People often ask on here would you support a black man or a woman. If Condi ran I would vote for her.
- The US has been managed like a corrupt corporation for the last 6 years because we put corporate CEO types in office. Rice is part of the problem, not the solution.
- She's definitely more qualified. I don't know if I'd vote for her, but she's got the qualifications.
- She told the 9/11 Commission that she did not remember meeting with Clinton's outgoing antiterrorism team, where she received warnings that bin Laden should be caught before his terrorist plot could be realized. This is a lie, and she should be impeached. If she really doesn't remember, she has no business in politics, that would be extreme ineptitude.
- Yes. She is more qualified than the 2 of them combined, & you could throw in a few other Dem candidates besides.
- I choose not to even think of voting for any of the three.Obama while a charismatic intelligent man,he is far too inexperienced to be president. Hillary scares me,she seems to be her own worst enemy and I simple don't trust her on the illegal alien issue. Ms. Rice is just not presidential material,she is simply a puppet for GWB.Id like to hear her own views on a few things.I have no idea where she stands on any thing. I don't see anyone that at this time I could put my support and money behind.But I am watching and reading and researching several prospects.Only time will tell who will get my vote in 2008.
- Forget Obama, he's dead in the water. Now, let's talk about Condi vs. Hillary. How can you dispute that this country should vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton? What this country needs right now is a lying, scheming, duplicitous, bitter old shrew whose every action since her husband got beaten by G.W. Bush is to get into the Oval Office. Forget the fact that she doesn't have much of a track record of accomplishment during her Senate snint. The fact that she was clever enough to dupe the normally savvy voters into believing she wasn't just using her Senate seat as a springboard to the White House shows how marvellously conniving she can be. Let's put that two-faced ability of hers to work against our enemies. Forget the fact that Condi is much more intelligent. Condi may be academically and professionally at the top of the heap, she may have amazing talent for international diplomacy and fixing deficit budgets, but can she lie, cheat and steal like Hillary? No way. Aren't these normally undesirable traits of Hillary's what we need in the White House? Sure, you could argue that Condi would be a gift sent from heaven in terms of our international image: how can politically correct people heap absuse upon a strong, black woman like they do on Bush? Sure, our international reputation would rise considerably, and foreign nations would be more willing to work with us again. But what about the stubborn countries? Condi would have to use old fashioned diplomacy. Hillary could send out flocks of winged monkeys to do her bidding.
- You're absolutely right. Check out Dick Morris' book, "Condi vs. Hillary", and you'll find you are in good company. However, I really don't think she wants the job. She knows that she'll be "damned if she does, and damned if she doesn't". I also think she realizes that it will take a miracle to turn this country around, given what the libs have done to it, and she doesn't believe in miracles. By the way, you left out that she is a concert pianist. Have a good day!!
- Ms. Rice is merely a puppet of the Bush administration. She may be smart and savvy but she sold herself to the devil when she started parroting the party line, lying to everyone and generally being Bushes "good little soldier" by perpetuating the WMD thingie and supporting sending our troops to war. She would never be electible...Thinking people can see right through her.
