Condi looks all teary eyed on the news...she's especially proud of Obama's win!!

[Doityourself]

She's on now..

[complain jane]

1. Holy shit I've never seen her like that

[oviedodem]

2. You KNOW she voted for Obama

[Captain Hilts]

5. Why do you think so? Because she's black?

[oviedodem]

11. Yes and no because she grew up in the south AND I don't think she has any

respect for McCain ESPECIALLY after the Palin pick

[Captain Hilts]

18. She said the Civil Rights movement in Birmingham didn't really affect her family.

[oviedodem]

24. That is what she would say outward but she has dealt with it; believe that

[Captain Hilts]

42. Yes, but saying so is another way she enabled the right wing in campaigns.

[avaistheone1]

She certainly showed no compassion for the South during Katrina.

Condi shrugged her shoulders when asked if she planned to do something when Katrina struck. She said it wasn't her job. Then went shoe shopping in New York and attended Broadway shoes.

She is very disconnected from the Civil Rights movement and struggle - not to mention how many black and people of color she sent to their deaths as a result of her actions and statements on Iraq.

I judge people not based on conveniently timed crocodile tears, but on their track record. Condi's is shameful.

And shame on her for trying to hitch her star to Obama's.

[Colobo]

12. She would not stand in the middle of history.

[jakem]

15. because she was practically weeping just now~

[Captain Hilts]

21. She's got a lot to cry about.

[oviedodem]

31. Yes it is true, but I have always thought that here decisions were based on

ego more so than her beliefs. I suspect here memoirs will show a lot of internal conflict

[avaistheone1]

51. Well alot of people in this world died for her ego.

Our treasury has been looted, and the nation disgraced - all for her ego.

[bugisbug]

52. Maybe, but Palin probably had alot to do with it

[marylanddem]

3. Ms. War-monger has some tears left in her?

[leftofcool]

4. I bet she will be part of Obama's cabinet

her and Colin Powell

[marylanddem]

8. Why should she be?

[Ozma]

9. NO, I think Powell will get his chance but Condi needs to go...

IMO

[leftofcool]

41. Ah yes, let't keep Powell the murderer and liar

[avaistheone1]

44. Powell said he was misled and apologized, Condi never made such and admission or apology.

And it will NOT be forgotten.

[Captain Hilts]

57. How was he misled on Abu Grahib and Gitmo???

[windbreeze]

62. How was he misled on My Lai is a bigger question...n/t

[Captain Hilts]

10. They were enablers for Prez. Bush. nt

[Doityourself]

14. Agreed!!

[leftofcool]

Yep, and yet Obama appears to be enamoured of Powell

[DevonRex]

55. Trying to start trouble already, I see. I thought you'd wait until noon

at least. But nope.

[Captain Hilts]

60. The truth hurts. Powell's support was mentioned in campaign ads.

He really does like Pres. Bush's enabler.

[DevonRex]

65. Campaign ads are meant to reach a certain segment of the population.

Those that mentioned Powell were targeted at people who still respect him.

I am not ready to say one way or the other whether Obama respects Powell's judgment or not. He did appreciate the endorsement. I appreciated the endorsement, too.

A lot of people like McCain, too, even though they disagree with him and consider HIM an enabler. The list of dems who say they like McCain is quite long and includes several dem primary contenders this year, you might recall.

[Captain Hilts]

71. Yes, but he met with him several times last spring. nt

[oviedodem]

13. GOOD GOD NO!

[lonestarnot]

16. Oh fuck no! Hell no! Fuck that! Hugh ugh! Beaver needs to just go play a pianno.

[genna]

23. Beaver? As in trim? When did see you next tuesday language become standard fare?

[dionysus]

30. i think he's referring to the buck teeth...

:shrug:

[Doityourself]

38. I think its about her teeth!

[lonestarnot]

45. What the fuck is trim? Haven't you ever seen Winnie the Pooh?

Good gawd.

[demokatgurrl]

20. Oh please god no. NO.

Powell I could kind of tolerate. Condi can go manage a football team.

[cynatnite]

22. Probably not n/t

[bigwillq]

26. No to both.

They are both forever linked to the worst administration in our history. This is not the change the American people voted for.

I am all cool with Robert Gates staying on for a bit as DefSec but not with Condi or Powell in the Cabinet.

[onehandle]

32. Fuck No! nt

[seabeyond]

33. why? she has accomplished NOTHING in All the many jobs she was given.

why should she get a job anywhere.

bush kept assigning her jobs and she didnt do anything.

[avaistheone1]

49. God forbid.

Last night was a vote against the Bush admin. Why in God's name would we want the perpetrators of George Bush's lies running our government again, particularly Condi Rice that arrogant SOB liar?

[ensho]

50. bite your tongue! for even thinking that

they both are criminals with bloody hands.

[DevonRex]

54. Why? Because they're black?

:eyes:

[Virginia Dare]

67. I hope not, she's been a disaster...

she couldn't diplomatically get herself out of a paper bag.

[TornadoTN]

6. Is there a heart behind that cruel face?

After all she's done to this country, I'm amazed.

[Renew Deal]

7. She's fond of Obama.

And has been for some time.

[my3boyz]

17. Yeah...that is why she tried to mess up his plans while he was overseas. nt

[Renew Deal]

25. Anytime she spoke about him she was kind

And many times it seemed admiring.

[avaistheone1]

53. Big fucking deal. Condi is liar and a killer. Her reign of misery is over.

[cynatnite]

She looked tearfully happy n/t

[oviedodem]

19. Her father was not able to register because he could not answer "how many jellybeans in a jar"

[gblady]

39. they said...

her father had to register as a Republican because they wouldn't let him as a Dem...
back in those days Rep was the black party...is that correct?

[oviedodem]

46. Supposedly, but in the south the dems AND repubs were complicit in it

It is a long long history that you would have to research. MLK was republican, but I believe that it was more for self-preservation than anything.

[Virginia Dare]

68. That was true 40 years ago, but I would hope she would have evolved by now..

what was done to her father has nothing to do with the political landscape of today. She's allowed herself to be used like a tool by the republican party just like her father did.

[SuperTrouper]

27. it is shocking to see that behind that steely facade is an African American woman

that is very proud of President-elect Obama's victory. I think that she is the grand-daughter of a slave, so in spite of it all, she has to feel pride as an African American woman.

[Arugula Latte]

34. Too bad she sold her soul to the devil long ago, though.

[paparush]

28. Does she still work for us? I haven't heard from her in months..

[onehandle]

29. She's faking. nt

[oviedodem]

37. I don't think so.

[avaistheone1]

35. Was she teary eyed when she received all the news of the soldiers and Iraqi people

who died for her lies?

Condi didn't seem too teary eyed when the people of the Katrina lost everything are were without food and shelter. Condi shrugged her shoulders, said it wasn't her responisibility and went off to the Broadway shows and shoe shopping.

Condi is just auditioning. She probably just wants a job in an Obama admin --- which would be a disaster!!!!!!!!!

[Jennicut]

36. Wow, I have never seen Condi like this.

I think all the African American Repubs will be proud today because Obama broke a barrier, whether they agree with his politics or not. I think Condi also likes Obama and she had nothing but good things to say about Biden (he is a "real patriot"). I don't know, maybe she is sick of Shrub hitting on her? Just kidding, I think.

[trudyco]

40. She's choking up over the end of her political career...

Please, she has done no favors to this country. She looked besotted with Bush the first couple of years. I'm not going to go light on her because she's black. So what. She sold herself to the Neocons.

The rest is just political fluff stuff the losers always say if they are going to be gracious.

[Sedona]

43. She crying because she will now be held accountable

.......... for war crimes

[Captain Hilts]

61. I doubt it. nt

[BlueMTexpat]

47. I would like to believe that she is happy about Obama's win.

But Condi has demonstrated nothing more over these past years than a single-minded focus on Condi's best interests and how far she could keep her head up *'s behind. Her tenure has been catastrophic for our country abroad. She was not paying attention when she should have been and 9-11 resulted. She has been the least effective if not outright worst Secretary of State in my lifetime and perhaps even in that of America's.

Unlike Powell, she was in at the torture meetings from the beginning.

If she became a Republican initially because of the way "Southern Democrats" initially treated her father, that is understandable. That she remained a Republican once those same "Southern Democrats" became part of the radical right wing of the GOP is inexcusable.

She may be tearing up more at the real prospect of having to answer for the war crimes she enabled and also because she jumped on absolutely the wrong bandwagon.

But that's just cynical me speaking.

:rant:

[demokatgurrl]

69. Nice rant, and I share wholeheartedly your cynicism. n/t

[ensho]

48. but she will never be able to hide her bloody hands

or live down her lies

[AgadorSparticus]

56. ...and he did it while honoring his african am. heritage and not sleeping with the devil.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

58. I'm sorry but I can't seem to even muster up a smiddgen of sympthy for her

[RichGirl]

59. Condi voted for Obama...because...they have a lot in common.

THEY ARE BOTH SMART! They are both highly intelligent, have had excellent educations and are extremely knowledgable. These are things that have been lacking in our government in the last 8 years.

Let's face it....a black person has to be exceptional in order to make it the way Condi or Barack have. A black person with the intelligence (or lack of) of Bush, McCain or Palin would be working at a Post Office. Equality would be, to me, where anyone running for a position of leadership and power would need to be exceptionally intelligent. I hope we all know now that we need smart people at the helm because they make smart decisions and judgements. Equality is also more white people working for the post office because it is a good and honorable job to have.

[Quantess]

63. She's vying for a job on Obama's cabinet.

[Blue_Tires]

64. i wonder what Clarence Thomas is doing this morning?

[Midlodemocrat]

66. Fuck her.

[live love laugh]

72. I don't know how to add to that but I feel the same way. She can Go To Hell. nt

[codjh9]

70. Well if she is, she's schizophrenic, having been a major cog in W's awful admin.
