That Condoleezza Rice (photo) - 66 in a row andFirst of all, the US Secretary of State for sex and skin color, everyone knows. Her biography and track record can be found on many online resources. It is much more interesting to track the stages of her path, because not every black American, even a man, manages to take such a high post. Perhaps, following the process of its formation, it will be possible to more accurately assess this in its own way extraordinary personality.
"I will be here ..."
When little Condoleezza was only eight years old,father, a teacher at one of the universities of the United States, led the girl on a trip to the White House. Unlike other children, she did not look at the situation, but thought about something with concentration. Then, looking into her father's eyes, she said: "... I will be here." Even then, in early childhood, the girl set a goal: to take a place in the White House.
Condoleeza and democracy
A speech hangs on the wall of the office of a female secretary of stateJ. Marshall, in which he proposes a plan for post-war redevelopment of Europe. Condoleezza Rice considers himself his successor. She says with confidence that the States are the only country in the world that brings democracy and prosperity to the peoples of the Eastern countries. She sincerely believes that only the United States, with its intervention in the internal affairs of many countries, with its arms, is able to bring peace to the Eastern peoples. Condollisa Rice says that in the area where she grew up, the word "democracy" did not exist. However, the country managed to build it, despite the obstacles and opinions of dissent. Maybe the word "democracy" Lady-66 understands in its own way, but does not back down from its opinion one iota. The ability to work, perseverance and strict adherence to one's own principles are appreciated by the leaders of many countries. The Secretary of State is truly devoted to the team she works with. Comparing her persistence, confidence and efficiency with her own convictions, one of the sites stated that the political figure of Condoleezza Rice was as effective as the Stalinist people's commissars were during the war.
"... there is nothing to talk about with Putin"
To Russia Condoleeza is more than critical.Firstly, because its concept of democracy does not coincide with the understanding of this term by Putin and Medvedev. Secondly, because I am sure: the reset of relations took place only on the part of the United States, and Russia is not going to do that. Condoleezza Rice has always spoken about Russia, to put it mildly, negatively. Secretary of State 66 does not like the fact that Russia supported the UN Resolution on Iran, sharply criticizes the country's policy in Syria, and the granting of asylum to E. Snowden was publicly called the US “slap in the face”. "Russia," said Condoleezza Rice, "is a country that has lost its power. And therefore, Obama has nothing to talk about with the President of Russia." Some politicians are sure that the time is not far off when a black woman with her own views and great work capacity will claim the place of President of America.
