Rice warns Republicans that US standing in world 'endangered' Aug 30th 2012, 02:05 Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned Republicans at the party's convention Wednesday that the "American ideal" is "endangered" and said the country's standing in the world depends on solving problems at home. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, Rice said, is best qualified to "rebuild the foundation of our strength -- the American economy." "Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan understand this reality -- that our leadership abroad and our well being at home are inextricably linked," she said. "They know what needs to be done." Without mentioning President Obama by name, Rice, who served under President George W. Bush, hit the current administration for "failed policies" that "cast a pall over the American recovery so desperately needed at home and abroad." "When the world looks at us today they see an American government that cannot live within its means," she said. "They see an American government that continues to borrow money that will mortgage the future of generations to come.  The world knows that when a nation loses control of its finances, it eventually loses control of its destiny.   "That is not the America that has inspired people to follow our lead," she said.
