Condaleeza Rice
Gave a great spech tonight. Raised in Birmingham (the most segregated city in the nation), her Dad told her that she might not be able to buy a hamburger at Woolworth's, but that she could someday be president. What a man he must have been, and I bet he knew how amazinghis daughter was even at the age of 6.
Dr Rice is elegant, gracious, and amazingly accomplished (she was SecState, National Security Advisor, as well as a classic pianist and accomplished figure skater). She was a Soviet-specialist in the Reagan administration, during the absolute peak of the Cold War.
Dr Rice is a national treasure, and a role model for every single kid in the country. If she could elevate herself from segregated Birmingham to the heights she has reached, then the simple truth is that anyone can do anything. Her book, called I think "No Higher Honor", is a really inspiring read, regardless of your politics
How, I wonder, did she miss the memo that her party hates women and blacks? And if the rumors are true, she belongs to yet another demographic that the GOP is supposed to hate.
I love her. God Bless her, and her parents, who must have truly been one-in-a-million.
Selfishly speaking, I pray she runs for office someday.
