Why I admire Condoleezza Rice
A remarkable woman. Exceptional in every way. I would vote for her for president, but she doesn’t want the job.
Dr. Condoleezza Rice became Secretary of State on January 26, 2005. Prior to this, she was the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor, since January 2001.
In June 1999, she completed a 6-year tenure as Stanford University ’s Provost, during which she was the institution’s chief budget and academic officer. As Provost she was responsible for a $1.5 billion annual budget and the academic program involving 1,400 faculty members and 14,000 students.
As professor of political science, Dr. Rice has been on the Stanford faculty since 1981 and has won two of the highest teaching honors—the 1984 Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 1993 School of Humanities and Sciences Dean’s Award for Distinguished Teaching.

she is so intriguing. amazing role model i look up to. smart and witty. really really really hope to meet her.
Power House. Her intellect just blows me away. I would probably spend sometime talking with her. she is very interesting and I look to her as a role model. My Shero.
I admire the dignity with which Secretary of State Rice has met her critics.
Having one of the most difficult tasks imaginable set before her, at a time when her countrymen refused to support their own defenders, must have put considerable strain on this lady. Yet, she remains gracious, lady-like and strong. I appreciate the sacrifice she continues to make on behalf of our nation; I personally feel as if I owe her a great debt.
Meeting Condoleeza Rice would be a tremendous honor.
I have really mixed feelings about Condi. I disagree with most of her politics, and feel that she kisses her boss’s ass too much. (On the other hand, I have heard about Bush’s hissy fits and maybe ass kissing is the only way one can survive working in his administration.)
Tho I’m not a Republican, I must give credit to Condi for her intelligence and for being a great role model for single women. (You never hear Condi whining about not having a man in her life.) I’m just sorry that she has misused her talent by supporting a terrible war in Iraq and by shopping for shoes when she should have been in New Orleans helping Katrina victims.
I want to meet “Condi”, because she seems like such an intelligent and independant individual with a beautiful soul. I don’t care what people say about her, I think she has helped our country enormously.
Oh, and I hope she becomes the first female president of the United States!
I would like to ask this woman, how she can sleep at night.
I would like to understand how she can “wash the blood from her hands”....?
I wonder if she can even imagine the carnage of humanity that she has helped to create (and even encouraged).
I would like to know if she has a soul.
I SORT OF met her. What I mean by that is that she waved at me. She came to do a speech at my university. I had gotten permission to take my quiz early and thus get out of class early so I could hear her speak. The line was still impossibly long when I got to her speech. I was standing behind some slightly obnoxious law students when her motorcade went by, and I looked at her, she looked at me, she waved, and I waved back. I ended up not getting into the speech, though.
