What has Condoleezza Rice done in her short term as Sec.of State to be considered suited to be president?

She is a token Black, token woman, put in that position to satisfy critics who claim there are not enough Blacks in public office as well as those who claim there are not enough women in public office. Based on this she would be considered as a token Black woman wannabe presidential prospect for all the wrong reasons. I think she is just a puppet anyway, a spinless yesman... that's right, a yesMAN.\n\nMore importantly, anyone whose name has two e's followed by two z's should NEVER be president.

I would have to agree that she is smarter and a better politician then Bush.  She has more knowledge of the world and is a true diplomat compared to Bush who often just wanders into situations and speaks without any real clear thought.  Though I don't agree with her, Rice is an intelligent woman who has studied the world and knows those who run it and it's problems.

The U.S. Secretay of State is Condeleezza Rice.\n\nYour state Secretary of State depends on where you live.

I think she needs some more political experience before she'll be ready to be president.  She comes from an academic background, and she needs to have some more time mixing it up behind the scenes.

This is such an important question. The person chosen currently, I fear will be a yes man to the US position. I hope for all our sakes I am wrong.  The person to take the role as Secretary General probably needs to be someone who has been a career diplomat rather than a career politician. \n\nIt must be someone who has the sense and the courage to recognise that the first priority is for democracy in the United Nations. This must be the first step, then we can all move forward and the UN will not be a lame duck. The problem is the VETO stupid!\n\nAs long as the select few "founding" members have a veto there can not be democracy in the UN and the UN is  a waste of time. Foe example, the US has vetoed all the UN criticisms of Israel, prevented UN inspectors from investigating possible criminal acts against Palestinians by the Israelis.etc. (In practice the US has used the veto more times than all other members put together). You cannot have a democracy with a special interest veto - it cannot work, democracy cannot work!\n\nSurprisingly, many of the problems which we are now facing are the result of the US veto. The failure of the UN to deal with the Israeli-Palestinian issue was the main trigger for the current unrest across the Middle East as Arabs everywhere saw that there was a real injustice leading to suicides in Palestine as an escape from almost 40 years of brutal Israeli rule.  Now the Israelis are suggesting (its their first move to test political will around the globe, before action, ) to assassinate all the Hamas (the elected) leaders in Palestine. Have the Israelis and the Americans learned nothing from these wars (Iran, Lebanon)? The West struggles to get an election going in Palestine, then when the people elect those the West seems not to want, then we will murder them?!! Hello? Is anyone there?\n\nYou cannot fight an ideology with traditional military might, you simply make the enemy stronger and increase its membership. Ideologies are fought using social and economic instruments for change, and by recognising that the underlying fuel to terrorism is not fundamentalism (thats only a catalyst) -  the fuel is injustice. The fundamentalist voices claim this is a jihad, but the vast majority support the movement on the grounds of the obvious injustice. Recent examples would be the US/Israeli planned invasion of Lebanon, executed by the Israelis and which was planned BEFORE the Israeli soldiers were kidnapped (anyone remember them now??) and the  West's reluctance to call for a halt to the bombing (cluster bombing) of Lebanese civilians! And with the Israeli bombing of homes killing 18 people (13 in one family) during the peace keepers occupation. Do you need to be an Arab to ask"where is there justice?"\n\nTherefore, for the UN to be effective it must be democratic. This does not mean that it will solve all the UNs problems because the UN inevitably will remain a cumbersome bureaucracy, but it will mean that the actions of the UN will express the will of elected people around the World, addressing,discussing and attempting to resolve  issues and NOT result in the eunuchization of the UN because of special interest groups' vetoes.\nAs to naming a successor, maybe we should wait until the current one expires?

I think Colin Powell, Condellisa Rice, and perhaps Hillary Clinton.

I hope we do eventually...I'd vote for Dr. Rice in a HEARTBEAT.  I think she's a brilliant woman.  If Collin Powell had run for that or for president i'd vote for him to.  I think he's one of the most honorable men there is.

Yes, I believe there will be a black president before there will ever be a woman president. I know this is a loaded question, but many nations do not like dealing with women. Those nations would probably be in the Middle East. They would try to undermine the woman alot more than a black male. However, I would vote for Condi Rice. Both, black and female. She is smart and has the political clout to pull it off, I believe. Condi in '08!!!

I think the American people are ready for a woman president. I wouldn't VOTE for Hiliary Clinton but I would vote for Condelezza Rice. I think she would make a great president. She would also make a milstone for the United States becasue she would be the first woman president and the first african american president. I hope she runs for office.

Do you mean the order of sucession to the presidency?  #1 Vice President - Richard Cheney.  #2 Speaker of the House - John Dennis Hastert.  #3 President pro tempore of the Senate - Ted Stevens.  #4 Secretary of State - Condoleezza Rice.  #5 Secretary of the Treasury - John Snow.  #6 Secretary of Defense - Donald H. Rumsfeld.  #7 Attorney General - Alberto Gonzales.  #8 Secretary of Homeland Security - Michael Chertoff.  #9 Secretary of the Interior - Gale A. Norton.  #10 Secretary of Agriculture - Mike Johanns.  #11 Secretary of Commerce - Carlos Gutierrez (Not Eligible for Presidency).  #12 Secretary of Labor - Elaine Chao (Not Eligible for Presidency).  #13 Secretary of Health and Human Services - Mike Leavitt.  #14 Secretary of Housing - Alphonso Jackson.  #15 Secretary of Transportation - Norman Yoshio Mineta.  #16 Secretary of Energy - Samuel Bodman.  #17 Secretary of Education - Margaret Spellings.  #18 Secretary of Veterans - Jim Nicholson. \nThe reason two of these people currently in the line of sucession are not eligible to be president, because, they are not natural born U.S. citizens.  I assume another reason a person could potientially be deemed ineligible would be if that person had not yet attained 35 years of age.\nWheather this newest line of sucession has passed the house and been signed into law is unclear to me at this time.  As near as I can tell, the principal revision is in moving the Secretary of Homeland Security from eighteenth in line to eighth in line.

Well, assuing you mean the secreatry of state it would be:\n\nThe secretary is the president's foreign policy adviser. The incumbent is responsible for coordination among various agencies in developing and implementing foreign policy; leading and coordinating U.S. representation abroad; conveying U.S. foreign policy to foreign governments and international organizations through U.S. embassies and consulates in foreign countries and diplomatic missions to international organizations; conducting negotiations and concluding agreements and treaties on issues ranging from trade to nuclear weapons; and coordinating and supporting international activities of other U.S. agencies and officials.\n\nHope that helps, below is a link to job descriptions for the presidents entire cabinet :-)

The question is whether the US is ready for Condi Rice, a BLACK FEMALE, to run for President.\nAnd, given the era of Political Correctness in which we currently live, where the populace is afraid to call someone "black," I think the US is perfectly ready.\n\nOh, and I know the accepted term is "African American," even if the person has never been to Africa.  Of course, Charlize Theron, who was actually born in Africa and is now American, is not referred to as an "African American."  They call her a "South-African American."

Our "Minister of Foreign Afairs" is called Secretary of State.  Her name is Condeleeza Rice.

Sorry, I don't think I really understand your comments. \n\nSince Sec. of State is a political appointment, a nice smile and a pretty face will go along way.   As a political appointee, I think she seem well qualified. She served as National Security Advisor during Bush's first term (2001–2005). Before joining the Bush administration, she was a Professor of political science at Stanford University where she served as Provost from 1993 to 1999.\n \nYou might be relieved to know that her father was the  minister of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
