Condi Rice: The nation would be safe under President Obama

By GottaLaff

What's W going to think? Condi's being disloyal! Rendition her! Gitmo her! Feed her to Karl "Chubs" Rove!

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.

There goes J Sid's big campaign line:

McCain has vied to portray the Illinois senator as a dangerous bet for US security given his relative inexperience.

As for the v.p. slot:

"I don't need another job in government with anybody. Look, I'm a Republican, all right? Senator McCain is a fine patriot and he would be a great president," she said.

"But there's something to be said for fresh blood," Rice added in reference to the running mate talk. "And I know that there are a lot of very good people who could be his vice president."

Oh, silly me. I thought by "fresh blood" she was referring to Obama.
