US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says the nation would be safe under a Barack Obama presidency and that she is ruling out a shot at the vice presidency under either Obama or Republican John McCain.

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."

1. I know we are supposed to hate her, but I think she is voting Obama.

I also have a feeling that she is listening to his comments and has started to follow his suggestions.

[struggle4progress]

13. Nah: she's just a political creature running for the center in an election year

It's in her best interests to do so -- and Condi's best interests have always been Condi's main interests

[CrazyDude]

24. She's not voting for Obama, no matter how much she tries to muddle up her viewpoints

She is pro-war, Obama is anti-war ... it boils down to that.

2. Rats jump ship

3. Rice rules out running for VP with Obama?

Does she really, really think Obama would consider having the worst SOS ever as a running mate? Honestly, does she?

[The Croquist]

9. She was asked if she would run as VP for Obama

and answered the question. What did you want her to do?

[rurallib]

15. Sorry - I read in there that she offered that up.

so some goofy nooz guy asked her that.

[The Croquist]

19. Agreed. It was a stupid question

I would like to have seen the look on her face when she heard the question. I kind of wish she had responded candidly with something along the lines of "What are you a F*&king moron or something?????

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. Haig was no picnic.

She was a worse NSA than SoS, imo.

[TrogL]

17. I miss Haig

He defined "iconoclastic".

[Nickster]

4. Uh oh, is she fighting with her "husband"?

[Flirtus]

6. Great minds think alike!

I can't see her name without thinking about her uh husband ...

5. Writing on the walll. She will have no future with any credible group

within academia or elsewhere if she doesn't try to hug Obama's coattails. She's sold out any group to which she might have some opportunity.

[mulsh]

21. she'll come back to Stanford, maybe the Hoover Institute

they have pretty low standards. She can always resume her position on Chevron's board of Directors. Maybe get a nice little bungalow somewhere in Blackhawk or Danville, Ca.

[Faith No More]

7. The level of gall

Bush's people have is beyond belief. Gee Condi, why don't you just write yet another tell-all book like Scotty, that should keep you in shoes for awhile. Of course it'll mean you have pry your lips off Georgie-boys ass first you arrogant, egg-sucking twit.

[dysfunctional press]

8. they want the democrats to have this selection- the next 4 years are going to be real horrorshow...

and they know it. if things get bad enough, they figure it will totally tarnish the democrat(ic) "brand" for at least ageneration or two. the idea that it would also give the nation an excuse to keep blacks out of the white house for even longer than that is just icing on the cake to them.

[bahrbearian]

10. As long as she isn't on the cabinet the the U.S. will be fine

[boomerbust]

11. She will take

An olympic size punishing when the king returns!

[mamameow]

12. v.p.?

either candidate who would consider a proven liar, political machine like this, does not need to be a candidate. in fact he does not even deserve to be in this country. she is probably the second most incompetent person in the bush gang, next to W.!!!!!!

[SquireJons]

16. Does anyone remember what Marty Balen said about Grace Slick? n/t

[ContraBass Black]

18. Nothing remarkable. She was offered a chance to say that if Obama wins

The terrorists would get us. She declined to take the bait.

[Thor_MN]

20. Eggshell walking. She's looking to get out of DC without winding up in prison

While a vile creature, I think she is intelligent enough to realize that the entire * administration is guilty of war crimes and treason. She's hoping to run the clock out and fade into the woodwork, avoiding prison.

[Solly Mack]

22. Fuck Rice and what she thinks.

[EvilAL]

25. Her track record for predicitng events hasn't been very good.

Especially since she always says they couldn't have predicted it.

[Mabus]

23. She sould have said that we'd be safer with Barack

than we've been in the last 7, almost 8 years.

26. The Responses here are SOOOOOOOO Amusing!

For all the hate she's getting here on DU, a lot of people are going to react positively to this "endorsement" from the Republican Secretary of State.
