Ode to Dr. Rice

I'm writing this post to honor a much maligned member of the Bush administration who has been an integral part of our countries recent security transformation and the ongoing war against islamofascism.

Dr Condoleezza Rice, before coming to Washington, was a member of the board of several Fortune 500 companies; was an accomplished author; was a PhD with several honorary degrees; was an expert in foreign policy, national security, and intelligence specifically related to the Soviet Union.

As National Security Advisor for President Bush Dr. Rice oversaw the creation of a new bureaucracy - the Homeland Security Department - as well as sweeping changes to policies and procedures throughout government and government regulated industry that were rolled out relatively smoothly.

Currently serving as Secretary of State, Dr. Rice holds a position equivalent to the British foreign minister and the Queen of England rolled into one. Dr. Rice serves as the eyes, ears, and voice of the President when she travels abroad to fulfill her duties, and represents the US when meeting with foreign leaders.

Did you know that Dr. Rice is the highest ranking black woman in US government history? I bet you didn't. The two reasons for this are that she is not liberal, like most all-black organizations are, and she doesn't define herself by her skin color. She's humble and reserved while also being intelligent and eclectic.
