In The Politico, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pours some cold water on the Republicans' overheated rhetoric about Barack Obama.
Asked about Obama, who opposed the surge, she acknowledged: "There were reasons to have questions about the surge. The president asked all of those tough questions himself. The advisers asked all of those tough questions."
Wow, what a concept: asking questions and having doubts about a major policy shift is a GOOD thing in a Democracy. Quick, get John McCain and his Best Friend Forever Joe Lieberman on the phone and let them know! Ha.

During the interview in a regal room at the State Department appointed with chandeliers, rich carpets and cases of porcelain, Rice was asked: "Would you feel safe 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. I think we are having an important debate about our responsibilities, our obligations, our interests in the Middle East in the wake of the now increasing evidence of success in Iraq. Those are important judgments for the American people to make."
Exactly right, the United States will not only be "fine" with President Obama, it will be far FAR better off than under John McCain's continuation of President Bush's policies for another four years. Hey, how about Condi Rice for Republican nominee instead of John McSame?
Does anyone know, was this the same interview where she talked a lot about Brett Favre, or was that a different one?
