The First Black Woman President

In a mildly ironic moment, while watching a TV profile of Oprah Winfrey, I came across this article in today's Washington Post, touting the possibility that Condoleeza Rice could end up running for president.

If one were to choose a black woman for president, wouldn't it be nice to consider one who has worked consistently for the betterment of humankind, someone who has shown a kind and generous spirit, run a successful business, and actually doesn't lie publicly? And -- most of all -- wouldn't it be nice to vote for a woman who actually earned her power and place in the world without sucking up to the Man?

Rice for President? Not a chance.
