Condoleezza Rice

SECRETARY OF STATE (2005- )
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER (2001-2004)

I don't care for the Bush^shit Administration she is a member of or the leader she serves! However....

I do admire this African American woman. She has the education, intelligence, tenacity and fortitude to reach a level in the US Government never attained before by a African American female - First ever National Security Adviser and first African American female Secretary of State. I think she deserves to be shown props during this month of celebrating black achievements.

Let's pray that she uses her powers for good!

"Her"story

Dr. Condoleezza Rice became the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor, on January 22, 2001.

In June 1999, she completed a six 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.

Four more years of the same rhetoric!

American people, what have you done? The power of evil amazes me!
Looks like my vote didn't matter...

This does not surprise me!

PRESIDENT BUSH DECLINES BET INVITATION TO ADDRESS AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS IN BET NIGHTLY NEWS INTERVIEW

BET CEO Johnson Appeals to Top African Americans in Bush White House

WASHINGTON (October 19, 2004) - After more than a month of waiting, BET finally got an answer from President George W. Bush to a formal invitation to address African-American voters in his own primetime BET NIGHTLY NEWS interview on the network. The answer is no.


BET Founder and CEO Robert Johnson first issued invitations to both President Bush and Democratic Presidential hopeful Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) on September 14. He asked each of them to appear on the network to discuss issues of relevance to BET viewers during this crucial stretch of the 2004 Presidential Election campaign. Senator Kerry accepted, and his half-hour interview was televised on October 7. But according to representatives of the White House, President Bush's current schedule will not allow time for him to appear on BET, and they asked that the network approach him again, "after the election."

In response to the Bush decline, Mr. Johnson has sent an open letter to top African Americans in the Bush Administration - Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Education Rod Paige, and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson; along with former Oklahoma Republican Congressman J. C. Watts, who is leading a
grassroots group of African-American Republicans supporting the Bush re-election effort.

Here is the text of Mr. Johnson's letter to leading African-American members of the Bush Administration in response to President Bush's decline of BET's invitation to appear on the network:

On September 14, BET extended invitations to both President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry to discuss issues of relevance to African-American voters in their own primetime interview specials on our network. Senator Kerry accepted our invitation within a few days and that interview special was televised on Thursday, October 7. To our disappointment and after 35 days of waiting, we were informed this week that President Bush will not make room in his schedule to appear on BET to share his vision with
African-American voters. Contacts with the Bush campaign further instructed us to "ask again after the election."

As leading African Americans appointed by President Bush and supportive of both his policies and his re-election campaign, I urge you to ask the President to reconsider. While we have applauded your appointment to such a key role in the Bush Administration, political appointments are not enough when it comes to communicating the President's plan of action to address issues that African Americans find important. There is little doubt that African-American voters have the power to decide the outcome of this election. Our invitations to President Bush and Senator Kerry were each candidate's chance to show African Americans that their issues, opinions and their
votes really matter. To decline this opportunity does not send a very positive signal to African Americans with just 14 days left
before the election.

We look forward to your response to our request for intervention in this matter.

Respectfully,

Robert L. Johnson
Founder and CEO
BET

I REALLY get tired of hearing and reading about "the bushmaster" a name I've given him, which is actually a snake I learned about when stationed in the Republic of Panama years ago (fitting description of Bush heh!) attempts on banning Gay Marriage!

Can I just check my email without reading headlines about it!

"Bush Vows to Pursue Gay Marriage Ban
President Bush says he's "disappointed" by Senate rebuff of gay..."

I just don't get it! how does gay marriage threaten traditional marriages? I feel people should have a right to do whatever they want to do as long as it doesn't have negative ramifications on others.

While he is exhausting all this damn energy on trying to ban gay marriage he needs to re-prioritize and use that energy on getting our men and women soldiers (which includes gay soldiers) da fuck out of Iraq!

We need to BAN his trick, triflin azz!

Why You should say NO to Bush:

- he is a radical neoliberal, a devoted friend to American corporations, that colonize home markets of other countries

- he is radical conservative

- he opposes women's rights and rights of sexual minorities

- he is a militarist who consistently pursues the imperialistic expansion policies of the US

- he is an enemy to the environment, who breaches international environmental protection agreements in pursuit of profit for large American corporations

- he is a serial killer; over a hundred people were electrocuted during his term as a Governor of Texas!

- he is a liar, a crook and a criminal, involved in notorious 'creative accountancy' scandals

- he is an enemy of humankind - he authorized the Army to use nuclear (!) weapons in Iraq

- he is an enemy of own citizens, since the America's assault upon Iraq will probably increase the number of terrorist attacks in the US, leading to civilian casualities

- he is a genocide: scores of civilians were killed during the "mission" in Afghanistan - there is no doubt that in Iraq as well it is the civilians who will be affected most severely

- he is a greedy thug, who is planning this gangster-style attack aiming to seize the crude oil deposits, boost the war industry and elevate the public sympathy for his cabinet

- he is an insolent hypocrite - he accuses Iraq of disregard for the UN, and at the same time he intends to invade Iraq taking no notice of the UN Security Council resolutions

- he is a man of low IQ and no imagination, who happens to govern the largest global power

Now back to my emails!
