Rice: "United States will be fine" under Obama

This just in: " Rice: US would be safe under Obama"
"Yahoo News" reported today that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, said that the US would be safe under a President Barack Obama.
In an interview with Politico and Yahoo News released Thursday, Rice, was asked if she would feel secure with a president Obama.

"Oh, the United States will be fine," she responded. "I think that we are having an important debate about how we keep the country safe," she said, pointing to the Middle East and Iraq.

"Those are important judgments for the American people to make."


This is impressive! She is not just any voter expressing her opinion. Let's just review the credentials of who is making this assessment, putting aside what we think of Rice's policies and practices under President George W. Bush, here is the professional background of Secretary Rice: former National Security Advisor and Professor of Political Science and Senior Fellow (on leave) at Stanford University-Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies.

This counteracts the damage from Bill Clinton's tepid assessment of the United States under a President Obama, as expressed in his August 4 interview with ABC News.

Delicious! Where is the youtube video for this?
