President Obama Meets With Condi Rice

[Project Grudge]

According to Politico, President Obama will meet later today with Condoleezza Rice from 3:45 PM to 5:00 PM.

I just hope he's not seeking her council in an effort to go to the center.

1. Seeing her on various talk shows recently, my husband thinks she may run for Prez

and shit, she might be the sanest one of all.

Incompetent and a war criminal, but she's not a stupid as the rest of the pack.

[sad sally]

14. Jon Stewart's sweet talking her on Wed. just about made me

throw up. Not a one question about her part in the illegal Iraq war. We had to turn off the tv.

29. Man that's tough. Condoleezzaliesalot vs. MilfyMommaBear.

:shrug:

2. Obama/Rice 2012!

:evilgrin:

[TwentyFive]

31. I would sit that one out....

[defendandprotect]

3. This is what we elected a Democratic president to do .... ????

Yikes!

[JuniperLea]

17. What is it you think he's doing...

That warrants all the apoplexy?

[defendandprotect]

19. Let's see ... do you recall Obama's "back room" deal with Big Pharma ....

or maybe his private deals with health care industry to ensure that "public option"

didn't pass?

Maybe this will refresh your memory ... ?

Here's Rahm "crowing" about preserving "private health care industry" ... business s/b grateful!


Here is the quote: ”In a Thursday interview, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel argued that rather than recoiling against Obama, business leaders should be grateful for his support on at least a half-dozen counts: his advocacy of greater international trade and

education reform open markets despite union skepticism;

his rejection of calls from some quarters to nationalize banks during the financial meltdown; the rescue of the automobile industry; the fact that

the overhaul of health care preserved the private delivery system;

the

fact that billions in the stimulus package benefited business with lucrative new contracts,

and that financial regulation reform will take away the uncertainty that existed with a broken, pre-crash regulatory apparatus.

If that doesn't make you sick to your stomach, you can't read -- !!


We're probably lucky Obama wasn't holding meetings with Kissinger in the White House!

[grasswire]

4. why???????????????????????????

What reason could there possibly be for this meeting?

Doesn't he know she's a war criminal? This just boggles my mind.

[vaberella]

11. Maybe we should wait for more news before having an apoplectic attack. n/t

Obama to meet Condoleezza Rice Friday

(AFP) – 10 hours ago

WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama will welcome former secretary of state and national security advisor Condoleezza Rice back to the White House on Friday.

Obama has sharp foreign policy differences with Rice, a Republican who was a key figure in the run-up to the Iraq war under George W. Bush's administration which Obama always opposed. The president also frequently criticized the former White House team for neglecting the Afghan war, as he formulated a new strategy last year.

But Obama and Rice are both racial pioneers. He is America's first African American president and she is the highest-ranking black woman in the history of the executive branch of the US government.

In an interview on MSNBC on Wednesday, Rice said that comments by former Republican House of Representatives speaker Newt Gingrich that Obama's worldview was "anti-colonial" owing to his African heritage were "over the top."

I also don't see anything that suggests he would seek her council in an effort to go to the center. :eyes:

[Turbineguy]

7. Maybe she's going

to tell him she fucked up and will testify in exchange for immunity.

[RC]

8. Or maybe she is looking for a new husband.

[lunatica]

9. You mean husb...., er..., President don't you?

[lunatica]

10. And this will be the look she'll give him. It's her "I'm soooo innocent of everything" look

You can practically hear her saying, "Who could have ever thought they'd use airplanes as missiles"

[tanyev]

12. I'll bet it's part of her book pimping efforts.

[grasswire]

13. but why would he allow his office to be part of her book pimping?

Anyone who seeks audience with the President of the United States wants something. Maybe the WH was afraid to refuse the request, thinking that would make another kind of news.

[BlueIris]

15. As I've predicted here before, I think the GOP will pick her

for its VP nom in 2012.

[JuniperLea]

18. That would be the first smart thing they've done in years...

She's evil, but she's not vapid like Palin.

[Enrique]

30. how could she survive the primaries?

especially in the era of the teabagger?

[joe black]

32. Or Obamas V.P.

You never know about that guy.

[Perky]

16. She is hypeing her new book that's why you are seeing her so much.

[elleng]

20. RUSSIA/SOVIETS HER SPECIALTY, STUDIED UNDER ALBRIGHT'S FATHER.

He's too smart to ignore potentially useful source of info.

[dflprincess]

24. Maybe she'll remind him that Afghanistan was a disaster for the Soviets

and the U.S. is making the same mistake.

[elleng]

25. Maybe, but he probably knows that.

[elleng]

21. Details/rationale:

Obama, Rice huddle on arms treaty, other issues.

[golfguru]

23. I am smelling a very big geo-political event on the horizon.

The president is sounding off the implications from
all sides.

[jeanpalmer]

26. Why would you meet with a war criminal?

:pals:

[ensho]

27. just why did she meet with Obama? did he invite her or did she invite

herself?

why would Obama meet with a known bloody hands traitor?

she should be in prison.

it is sickening that she was allowed to step foot in the W.H.
