Culturally, she might actually not be a black American. Remember, though, that most blacks around the globe, me included, have nothing to do with black American culture and still we are all blacks- as black as every black American. Anyway, in her case, you have a woman that can't escape what she is phenotypically, regadless of her politics and actions. Maybe she hates her blackness deep inside and rejects black Americans for that reason, but she's still what she is to the rest of the world.

In terms of her performance, I think the Bush Administration is a mixture of pure evil and sincere incompetence. The neo-cons in the administration, with Dick Cheney leading the bunch, are pure evil. They are the ones doing the real damage. The rest of them are incompetent puppets, enablers, etc.

I think Condi has served the Bush administration because she actually enjoys being the "token black" in the group, not because she is inherently evil. She probably feels she is liked and respected by conservative, white America and that makes her extremely happy.
