Bush, Condi & NAACP: "I'm quite comfortable with the decision he's taken"
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=5649113&src=rss/topNews§ion=news

At a fund-raiser in his home state of Massachusetts, Kerry put a spotlight on Bush's decision last week not address the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and presented himself as a long-time civil-rights supporter inspired by John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

"My friends, I will be a president who meets with the leadership of the Civil Rights Congress, who meets with the NAACP," he told a predominantly black audience.

White House national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, the first black woman to hold the position and one of Bush's closest aides, defended his civil rights record.

"I know that this is a president whose record is impeccable on civil rights, impeccable on the interests of African Americans, and I'm quite comfortable with the decision he's taken," Rice said on CNN.

3. I think I hate Condi more than any of the WH klan, most disengenuous
person of any of them. I believe that almost nothing he says is true. I look into her vacant eyes and say to myself LIE!! LIE!! LIE!!, everything she says is a lie.

thats when she puts on the SMUG, ELITIST HAUGHTY little face & tone and looks OFFENDED that she actually has to say something that is ACTUALLY TRUE. I think she is a vile misrepresentation of a human being.

4. There's a reason Bush peppered his administration with sympathetic people
of color. It wasn't to appeal to minorities. It was to give the appearance to white swing voters of being sensitive to racial and ethnic concerns.

14. She lost me at
"My father became a republican because in 1950s Alabama the Democrats wouldn't let me register to vote in their party." Disingenous, indeed. Intellectually dishonest, for sure.

I can't stand her.
