Condi Rice says nation would be "fine" with Barack Obama as commander-in-chief

[bigtree]

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, 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.

"Those are important judgments for the American people to make."

QUESTION: Now, Madame Secretary, a lot of people have asked you about serving on a ticket with Senator McCain. If asked, you would you serve on a ticket with Senator Obama?

SECRETARY RICE: I – 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’s really the – he would be a great president. But there’s something to be said for fresh blood. And I know that there are a lot of very good people who could be his vice president.
