''I think he's very appealing and a great person. He's on my committee. And we've always had good exchanges. I think he's an extraordinary person,'' [Secretary Condoleezza Rice] said. Rice declined to say whether she thought he had enough experience, especially in foreign policy, to be president. ''Oh, I'm not going to make that choice. The American people are going to make that choice,'' she said.
Kind of interesting that she commends him based on his work in the committee. Such as that outlined in the profile article in the last Rolling Stone, perhaps?
Listening to a bloviating colleague at his first meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama slipped a three-word note to a member of his staff: "Shoot. Me. Now."
I'm not sure that an "endorsement" of this - or any other - type from Secretary Rice is a positive, based on the results she's [not] delivered during her tenure. Especially for a candidate with such limited foreign policy experience!
PS Interesting to note that both Senators Biden and Obama voted to endorse Secretary Rice in the Foreign Relations committee hearings before her nomination. Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer voted against!
