She also heartily endorsed the Iraq War, and who can argue with that success story?

We have one of the worse President's serving us ever! save it, i know what he has done, and i sure as hell know all that he hasn't. You see we taped him speeches in 2008, so that we could play them back at times like this.

Many many lies on there, many. And is Obama respectable to you at all times, does he say fine respectable things. Politicians are a figment of our imagination, or some people's.
Say what you may, no one could possibly screw up this economy, housing criris, unemployment, as high as it still is, businesses closing doors as i type.
Since Obama has been in office. Infact today on a business show i was watchng, they said since Obama has been in office, Housing has gone to hell.
And will be a while before it comes back, do you know even with the low low interest rate, housing has not improved. Infact the guy was stating, values are going down down down, more then we want to admit. Problem is way way too many bank owned properties, inspite of the low interest rates, not selling, and that in turn, makes regular home sales, also come down in value.
Any smart person knows you need a good thriving housing market, to stir an economy, this sure as hell ain't one.

Think your quite a bit off! People who have bad judgement, and getting the last laugh with this failing, sliding, downhill, negative economy, are those who beleived in Hope n' Change GARBAGE!

1) Obama didn't

2) Condi's foreign policy knowledge is useless if she merely parrots the POTUS she serves

Romney is really a Centrist compared with the others that he beat out so Blue Dog would apply. Condi is a good match and has the International experience that Romney lacks.

That when it was Ms. Rice's goddamn job to come up with a recommendation on her (supposedly) specific area of expertise, her decision turned out to have - shall we say, a less than successful outcome?

Perhaps - just perhaps - that should've led to a re-assessment of her decision-making capabilities overall.

And mis-reported Intel from Sadams rivals and Shias in particular went a long way in the evidence looking real.

Do we really have to go over this yet again? Most at the time, believed that Saddam had WMD, including Saddam's own senior officers. Including Obama's current SOS Hillary Clinton. Do people want her tossed out (along with the guy who selected her for the job)???

And Condi Rice was not even a major player in the decision to go to Iraq. The main voice was Donald Rumsfeld, along with people such as Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith. Remember Condi Rice WAS NOT EVEN SEC'Y OF STATE when the call was made. Colin Powell was. And BTW even he agreed in concept with going to Iraq, he just disagreed with the timing of going in 2003.
