Rice On Leno: We Owe Obama Administration 'Our Loyalty'

Jay Leno's getting some power players on the "Tonight" show. Last week it was President Obama and yesterday Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made an appearance. Rice talked about growing up as a black girl in Alabama, her brief tenure as a Democrat, her time in Washington, what she's been doing since she left (sleeping more, playing the piano) and about the books she plans to write (one on foreign policy and one about her family).

Asked about her former colleague Dick Cheney's recent criticisms of the Obama administration, Rice sounded a disapproving note, saying she wouldn't disparage our current leadership.

"I know what it's like to have people chirping at you when they perhaps don't know what's going on inside. These are quality people. I know them. They love the country. And they won't make the same decisions, perhaps, that we did. But I believe they'll do what they think is best for the country and I'll give my advice privately and keep it to myself."

Rice comes across as a class act, with a surprisingly decent sense of humor. Watch a portion of the interview below, and the rest of it here.
