		<description><![CDATA[Another foreign policy gaffe by Mitt?

While speaking in Iowa today, Mitt compared California&#039;s financial predicament to Greece.

Very insulting.  To the Greeks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Re:  3

If by &quot;la Clinton,&quot; you mean our current Secretary of State, I can&#039;t read Condi&#039;s mind, only her words:

Quoting exactly as reported in Politico, October 13, 2010:

Rice, who has mostly shied away from the public sphere since the end of George W. Bush&#039;s presidency, told Fox News&#039;s Bill O&#039;Reilly she thinks Clinton is doing a good job.

&quot;Hillary Clinton is someone I&#039;ve known for a long, long time.  She&#039;s a patriot.  I think she&#039;s doing a lot of the right things,&quot; Rice said.  &quot;She&#039;s very tough...and she&#039;s got the right instincts.&quot;

I think she&#039;s doing a fine job,&quot; Rice added.  &quot;I really do.&quot;

End of exact quote.  Story goes on to say Rice did express concerns about Iran getting closer to being able to produce a nuclear weapon and North Korea possibly destablilizing during a transfer of power (I&#039;m pretty sure those were issues before Obama/Clinton took over foreign policy).

Back to exact quote:

But Rice did not lay blame on Clinton or President Barack Obama for the situation in Iran and North Korea, noting that &quot;you&#039;re always dealing with circumstances that are very difficult for the United States that has to lead.&quot;

Sounds pretty positive to me.  This story ran before the demise of bin Laden, but I&#039;ll hazard a guess that Rice approved of that move.

Will she recall saying these things when she speaks in Tampa?  Not likely.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[She or Jindahl would have been a smart VP pick for Mitt.  

It&#039;s a bit hard to figure out why she would take on a political attack dog role at the convention, along with people like Haley Barbour and Huckabee.  She&#039;s not the type.  May even have voted for Obama in 2008 -- she wouldn&#039;t say.  She&#039;s already been National  Security Advisor and Secretary of State.  Other than Secretary of Defense, there&#039;s nothing left to do in a Romney administration.  She can&#039;t be very impressed with Mitt&#039;s foreign policy/national security awesomeness.  I&#039;ll bet she already gets plenty of lecture gigs at $75-100k a pop.]]></description>
