How pathetic that such a once highly positioned government official can only think of the president in terms of his race, much like most of his other Black voters.
This is truly the only fair minded and decent republican Ive ever seen. I think he is fed with the rampant racism and bigotry that dominates the republican party.
This man is too decent and too brilliant to be a Republican. It is a shame that he was involved in making case for the Iraqi war, he was duped I believe but, sad his name is involved.
"It’s still impossible to sum up what Obama’s presidency is about right now, except saving his own job." --Maureen Dowd, New York Times, September 11, 2011
Poor Colin, he must be heart broken over Obama's latest shananigans after so much joy and pride he put in Obama's victory. Not just him but Americans over all, change was Obama's slogan, Deceive should have been his slogan. Republicans, Democrats Ive lost faith in the government already, how I wish Colin could have been president I know for a FACT, a fact that he would have made a hell of a president, and if Colin had won and deceives us too, im shooting myself, but that wouldn't have happened.
OBama is the capitalists president and kills liyan people in their socialist country he want to robb for his corporations: NATO bombs meeting of libyan bishops in Brega (view from far away) watch?v=Hpy-psuDz6U same killing of libyan Imams in Brega,Libya + destruction (arb. engl.subs) /watch?v=xTo9-pXIsuw watch?v=_lB4oIGFxaw watch?v=LII4opY7mbg watch?v=5-TZxI8m8ss watch?v=MB-wumHm9xY watch?v=X9GtuTFJSw0 watch?v=MB-wumHm9xY watch?v=X9GtuTFJSw0 watch?v=Q0XsF03fNM4
I have great respect for Colin Powell and find him a true patriot. Instead of bashing Obama when he got elected, I chose to remain optimistic about him and figured time would tell whether or not he would be a great leader. A couple years later, I have my answer and am not pleased. I'm afraid the reputation of those iconic Americans such as Colin Powell whom supported Obama has been tarnished due to Obama's failed presidency. One can only hope that they make better decisions in 2012.
Although Colin Powell is a Republican, he gives Pres. Obama credit and he feels that he is a great leader. That's why I like this man because he's real and he doesn't let the Republican Party speak for him. He has his own ideas and morals.
Obama has taken the US down the tried & true path that many other leaders of African decent have taken their countries. Print money to infinity, distribute it to your wealthy corrupt greedy sponsors. Let them use it to steal every valuable assette from the nation. Then leave an impoverished population and indebted nation, slaves at the mercy of international bankers and the IMF. WAKE UP AMERICA. Fort Knox is empty, your country has been ripped off,the constitution ignored. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT
@ChrisPCrunchy I agree with your point except for your mention of African descent. I believe America's unfolding failure stems from his inexperience and the gullibility of the American voter in choosing the inexperience and smooth talk in the "empty suit" that is Obama. I am glad for the blacks in America in finally knowing that they really have no limits beyond their own self-imposed ones. In my opinion, Colin Powell is losing sight of the basic need to have a qualified person as president.
@tigerfan1984 And I'd say that you're a typical clueless dumb-ass who only knows how to call people names and thinks that someone can do no wrong as long as they served in the military.
You're probably also stupid enough to believe, as Powell does, that Gitmo should be closed and the detainees, aka terrorists, should be put into our federal legal system where they would have access to lawyers and writ of habeas corpus.
You need to stfu until you grow a brain and growup, you little douchebag.
I do not see any race in this man. I do not see a street "nigga" trying to decided whether to intimidate or scream for reparations. Do you? This is what happens when people stop being idiots, use their brains, go to work, and GROW UP.

Especially after that shameless love-fest for the president of Mexico. Never again. No more Democrats ever.
SO THE HELL WHAT if a black man is happy that Obama won. Obama is the first black president. The last 43 were white. Blacks couldn't really vote when Colin Powell was born. I think he has the fuckin right to be happy about a black president. And fuck you if you disagree, you're probably just some bitter racist white republican. Obama won .Get over it.
@xgs724 Obama won great but the fact is the election was made into purely a racial issue. What about his "ideas." But screw ideas it is all about identity politics. Whitey wanted a African American to be president and got it. I guess it's the democratic version of mission accomplished.
Colin Powell got done lying for the Bush Administration to get the U.S into Iraq and now he sits his ass up there lying again about how "great" Barrack Obama is. Would he be shedding tears, IS he shedding tears for all soldiers that died as a result of his lying ass? Colin Powell is scum.
@RafaNadal08, you misunderstand Colin's role in the Bush Admin and how his position was exploited. He was against a lot of the major decisions. There was a lot of intell that was withheld from him as well. There are documentaries out there about it. There's at least one catalogued on the PBS website. Get educated and stop calling a stateman "scum".
@CheezInspector I am educated and I am not stupid and nieve like you.

@RafaNadal08, no one said you weren't educated or stupid. I do, however, think you are a bit ignorant about the historical inner workings and interpersonal dynamics of all the Cabinet members as events unfolded during the Bush Admin. Watch the PBS documentary and educate yourself. Then we can have a reasonable discussion w/out you feeling a need to resort to childish name calling (hopefully).
@RafaNadal08 I call you a shameful person and if you have children I hope you change your views because they will never grow up to reach the dizzy heights you would hope for them.
@RafaNadal08 - If you're going to make statements such as, "I am educated and I am not stupid and nieve like you," it may help if you spelled "naive" correctly if you want to appear more credible.
@jamieblond1 Well can't argue with you. I was in a hurry that day you know? Oh and I think if we can get past grammar for a minute and just look at the arguments for a moment we should come to the conclusion that Colon Powell is not the sort of hero some people make him out to be.
@RafaNadal08 - Re the war, Powell should be remembered for his treason. He's a perfect example of someone who knows all the facts, yet told none to congress or the people of the United States. His silence enabled a criminal enterprise to take over this country to make money for it's members.
He also sounded like a far-left loon when he said that Gitmo should be closed and the detainees should be put into our federal legal system where they would have access to lawyers and writ of habeas corpus.
@RafaNadal08 You hate peace you problem deep down inside hate your life and your future is more then likely a blank page but you will never hold a pen or pencil.
has this guy lost his mind.bringing people together? if you were white and did not vote for obama you must be a racist.how does that bring people together?
@cassidy99ful I don't think he meant it like that, I think he meant America needed knew ideas and Mc Cain would have been in some ways and bush part two. We have to think about how the world sees America and how China, India and even Brazil are growing, the world is changing.
I disagree, I believe Colin Powell and moderate republicans need desperately to stay in the Republican party because the fact is that the Republican party is not going to die - and because of that we need it to be moderate and come back from the brink.
Ever wonder what has happened to all of the moderate Republicans? Me too. Justice John Paul Stevens is a classic example. He didn't change from the day he was appointed by Gerald Ford to the Supreme Court. The country did. He's now the 'liberal lion' of the court. Want a moderate Republican? Let me offer one: President Barack Obama.
And people are still saying: "LOOK WHAT WE DID!!!", but it's not with the same jubilation as it was said with on 11/4/08. Now, it's said more with regret, disbelief and shock.
You're so right. Who the hell does he think he is. Just because he served America as a decorated solder and went to Vietnam while most of the republicans took deferments.
Then this trader further served his country as joint chef during the gulf war and staff and secretary of state.
@navyboydjray first of all it is spelled traitor.second, just because he served honorably does not mean you have to agree with him.the only reason I lost some respect for him is because he just can't admit why he really voted for obama.if he was honest I would have a lot more respect for him.
As for his vote, that is his right. Just as it is your right to be a tea-bagger. As a military member I fight and serve so people like you can be foolish and ignorant to vote or support whom ever you please. And just because you have never put a uniform on to serve this country does not mean you are a traitor. =)
@townsend316, unfortunately Powell didn't have a chance this past election cycle to compete w/Obama to be the first part-Black/part-White president because no one was about to vote for any candidate marred by the Bush brand IMO.

Obama is not dedicated to this nation, he can't even pledge alliance to the symbol of it! His plan is to force us to be a communists along with the rest, so that we can become a one communistic world government.
Then he can take over Israel and sit in the temple in Jerusalem showing that he is God. His plan is in deceiving the nations to accomplish his vain ambitions. He is following after Nimrod who saw to it that the people build the great tower of babel so that he could war against God.

Sorry Collin--Now you are speaking for the "pride that ALL Americans now have" because we have a black president. You and Michelle could not be proud to be Americans....UNTIL after we had a black president? Doesn't that sound a little self serving....maybe even racial? hmmmm
Sorry Collin--"Everybody cried" when it was announced he won. Well I think that a lot of people cried but it wasn't for the same reason.

Sorry Collin--Wanting to be a transformational figure isn't enough. The transformation should be what the moral majority want instead of the immoral road of getting rid of the Constitution and taking God out of our country.
Sorry Collin--Obama did not "win" this election because of bridging the gap of the generations. Americans lost when Acorn saw to it that they hadn't bribed enough ignorant and inexperienced voters...and put Obama in themselves.

Sorry Collin--Obama does not shout over religious lines, his objective is to do away with the religions of the world. This is the teaching of Mohammad---that in the end there will only be Islam. Obama and his czars are working with preachers to get on board.
Sorry Collin--Obama does not bridge the gap between the generations he separates the generations by the indoctrination of our children. He teaches that children know more about the world than their parents and grandparents.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry Collin--Obama is not an American citizen he is an Indonesian citizen. But of course you knew that.
Sorry Collin--Obama did not "shout over racial lines" to unit us, but instead he "polarized Americans" even more than they were before. How did he do this? By using his fork-tongue to help the "victim" feel his victimization while pointing to who was to blame for it. He uses the power of mob violence to achieve personal means. He learned how to do this from his great mentor--Rev. Wright.
I lost respect for Powell the day he translated a so called communication between iraqi soldiers moving weapons of mass destruction to the UN. He lied, lied on the behest of his superiors...he should have just quit....
I always liked Colin Powell, even if he's a republican. Now that they've lost their ever-loving minds, I hope he leaves the republicans. Democrat or Independent, anything but a republican!
@jamieblond1 You're so simple-minded it's pathetic! Colin Powell is the 1st African-American Secretary of State, he was a National Security Advisor, 4 star general, the 1st & so-far only black Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, etc. The man has a impressive record, with a slew of accomplishments. THAT'S why I always liked him, inspite of his ideology. I actually admire him for remaining republican with all the dimwitted, backward idiots inhabiting that party these days!!
@naughtygirlga - You're a shining example of a typical liberal retard. if you admire Powell for his "slew of accomplishments," then it follows that he's in the wrong party.
Instead of a RINO, he should be one of your clueless Democrazis, who are ruining the system that made America the greatest experiment in history.
By 'redistributing the wealth' you f 'ing morons are making small businesses afraid of what's coming down the pike and destroying the spirit and initiative of entrepreneurs...idiot!
@naughtygirlga - Why do you liberals always need to play the race card? A pox on you AND the right-wingnuts.
Btw you easily-led fawning toadie, you need to break out of your little black box. Wake up and smell the bullshit. Stop processing everything that happens in your life through your 'black filter.'
What's the difference if Powell is black, white or green? Race has nothing to do with the issue.
Knock knock....anybody home between those ears? Or are you busy doing the 'naughty' again?
@jamieblond1 Don't try to insult me. I'm impervious to cuntservative women that dress like catwoman and rag on liberals. Why the hate on Colin Powell? Are you jealous or just stupid?
"Interacting with adults." Lol good one. From your profile picture you look like you rode the short bus. Get lost, you're a stain on the GOP.
@jamieblond1 And you're only 24 and telling me to watch cartoons? Since you're a woman that means your mental age probably hovers around 10. Dumb bitch.
@naughtygirlga He is as moderate as an American public serviceman can get. I'm surprised he has not run for president. He would easily be one of the best presidents in American history.

I love this clip. Its fairly safe to say if Powell as a black man, a military man, the leader of security cried....... all black men were crying on this day. This man wouldnt break a tear for shit..... and he almost did when he said "Look what we did". I cried just watching his expression. The day Obama was elected, was moving, i thought about was my parents, grandparents, and the old photos my parents kept of our family members in the deep south who would have never imagined this day
we shouldn't be blamed for the actions of our..excuse me.."your" ancestors? why?! see the problem is you April! call him "the president..not the "black president". see how 200 years really does effect us? so if you can do that april? society has made progress.
"We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
- Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001. Obama is part of Israeli lobby. Free American from Israeli control. Hamas is part of a freedom fighter group who fight for to free their country from Israeli occupation. Israel is the occupier like USA Army is the occupier in Iraq. Iraqi people is fight to free their country. Israel + USA = Occupier foreign land.Iraq,Israel belongs to people over their not occupier.
What a difference 8 years makes because Colin Powell was supposed to be the first black president but his family was threatened. I believe that he decided not to run in 2000. Congratulations BARACK OBAMA. Man I can not wait for the next 4 years to start on jan 20th, 2009. That inauguration party will be bananas on the outside of the White House
You are so right! Colin Powell's wife was the 1st on the chopping block so to protect her he changed his mind. He did what he thought was right. And the celebration was bananas.
Some people just have no class and never will,ignorance is a bliss! The people have spoken and if you can't come to grips with that, move somewhere else and cry.There will always be racist morons that would rather elect Bush for a third term than vote for a positive uplifting black man. It truly goes to show some the reality that there are still people out there that would rather suffer than prosper and be respected in the world again. Truly sad, but a happy time for me! Congrats President Obama
Kudos, General Powell - very eloquently, and well put, as usual. Hopefully, some of your wisdom rubs off on others in your Party...
Thanks for your biblical wisdom, Superboy... you and other fanatics like you seem to know something no one else does. Amazing!!! I imagine you revere yourself a Christian...
Superboy, little do you know that thanks to Bush America was on the brink of destruction, and it would be Obama that would safe American's from the policy of hate and greed of the Republican party. Bush made american bankrupt, hateful nation, scarred, and divisive. I do not know what type of hell and damnation an Antichrist brings but be assured Bush government has given you this already for most Americans. No home, no job, and a world that hates you. Thank Obama from restoring hope to you.

You're decieved. Obama wants all of us to think he is all about peace. He will fix our problems for a little while, but once he gains control of the world, he will reveal his true identity.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Spoken like one educated in true liberal form passed from grade to grade only as to not hurt your self esteem finally to be amongst the ignorant masses voting for Obama because he will bring change. That's an impressive word for you all but don't get too excited,the only change will be what's left in your pocket after he takes it all and gives it to those who are too lazy or too uneducated to get a job. But hey it's change.
Ignorant masses? Are these the same ignorant masses that elected Bush twice?
It's quite remarkable that you are already positive that obama will be a bad president when he hasn't even been sworn in yet. But whatever. It's your right as a citizen to be critical of the president and even claim that he's not your president. I did the same with Bush (although I did give him two years before really judging him). I only hope you have to suffer for at least 8 years like I had to. Trust me, it's no fun
It is unfortunate that you cannot be proud that another man has scaled a new height. We should be proud; that he has the strength of character and fortitude, to take on what is, a deeply troubled global financial environment, challenging world issues, etc. If you cannot speak with pride and positivity you and you alone, will feel the need to re-evaluate your purpose in life.
You comments are profoundly ignorant and filled with fear. Every claim is easily debunked with one or two clicks of the mouse.
"We", the majority, aren't pursuaded by factless claims and innuendo.
Today the dow is at a 5 year low. Things are projected to get worse. A turn around might not be possible for 12-18 months; FACTS that have nothing to do with our president.
People like you are the problem with the economy.
I look forward to another "bumper sticker" response from you.
This man is a genius all of a sudden? Weren't you all the same people calling Powell countless names when he was SoS and showed up at the UN Security Council with his anthrax vile? Hypocrites, all of you.
spreading the wealth around lol, such hypocrites bush belled out all his friends, with our tax payers money do you call that welfare lol. shut up and let the healing begin
thats right! i can finally travel to italy, spain, and greece without being looked at funny. i'm luvin it. the voters have spoken and i think obama is doing is a good job. i just wish ppl would stop tryin to make him do EVERYTHING at once cuz it hasnt even been a year yet and they're puttin him down. at least the stock market is back to the 10,000+ ya know.
I have the utmost respect for Colin Powell, once again. I was upset with him when he was stuck as a puppet for the Bush Admin., but he's redeemed himself completely. I hope Obama taps this great man for advice, as I'm sure he will!
When he says "look what we did..look what we did"..it just gets me. As a white, I'm so damn proud on behalf of every single black person in this world, your time has come after always having been treated differently.
Mr. Powell has still been a part of something that I'm willing to forgive if he repents. There is always a chance to repent. There is always place for good people in this world. Peace to the world. Obama we love you!Love from Copenhagen, Denmark
As far as I know the very reason I used words was due to the fact that they had meaning.
As for my maturity, Maturity is only an attitude which is considered acceptable by the majority of society it has nothing to do with reality and is nothing more than the perceiver enforcing their own ideology upon another person. That being said I will remain on my own road knowing that your so called road of maturity was paved by dolts such as yourself.
Colin Powel gets it. He gets it because he has carried himself the same way. Its not about race. Obama has stayed away from that issue as he should because he is governing a country made of many differnt people so you cant be a President for one. You are a leader and representative for all people when you are the President of the US of America. I just hope all black people understand that. Its not the gov job to raise our kids or take care of our finances. We must be responsible for ourselves.
How pathetic that such a once highly positioned government official can only think of the president in terms of his race, much like most of his other Black voters.

OBAMNEY!
Between January and September 2011, Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital gave Barack Obama $27,500!
So far this year, Bain Capital donated $123,200 to the Democratic National Committee. They also donated to a Romney super PAC; $1.25 million!
Romney’s companies have sent 25% of this year’s donations to the Democrats, while in 2008, 2/3 of their money went to Obama!

@jamieblond1 Well can't argue with you. I was in a hurry that day you know? Oh and I think if we can get past grammar for a minute and just look at the arguments for a moment we should come to the conclusion that Colon Powell is not the sort of hero some people make him out to be.
RafaNadal08 1 year ago
@RafaNadal08 - Re the war, Powell should be remembered for his treason. He's a perfect example of someone who knows all the facts, yet told none to congress or the people of the United States. His silence enabled a criminal enterprise to take over this country to make money for it's members.
He also sounded like a far-left loon when he said that Gitmo should be closed and the detainees should be put into our federal legal system where they would have access to lawyers and writ of habeas corpus.

townsend316 1 year ago
I disagree, I believe Colin Powell and moderate republicans need desperately to stay in the Republican party because the fact is that the Republican party is not going to die - and because of that we need it to be moderate and come back from the brink.

Ever wonder what has happened to all of the moderate Republicans? Me too. Justice John Paul Stevens is a classic example. He didn't change from the day he was appointed by Gerald Ford to the Supreme Court. The country did. He's now the 'liberal lion' of the court. Want a moderate Republican? Let me offer one: President Barack Obama.

Colin Powell sold out!
At what cost do we have a "black" president? Mr. King would not have only been ashamed at oBama, but disgusted!
oBama's policies support the repression of the black community and keeping it poor, uninformed and uneducated.
IT'S TIME MY BLACK BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO STAND UP, BE STRONG AND SAY NO TO THEIR LIES! NO TO THEIR "HANDOUTS"! IT'S TIME TO DECLARE OUR FREEDOM!

Then he can take over Israel and sit in the temple in Jerusalem showing that he is God. His plan is in deceiving the nations to accomplish his vain ambitions. He is following after Nimrod who saw to it that the people build the great tower of babel so that he could war against God.

Sorry Collin--Obama does not shout over religious lines, his objective is to do away with the religions of the world. This is the teaching of Mohammad---that in the end there will only be Islam. Obama and his czars are working with preachers to get on board.
Sorry Collin--Obama does not bridge the gap between the generations he separates the generations by the indoctrination of our children. He teaches that children know more about the world than their parents and grandparents.

Sorry Collin--Obama did not "shout over racial lines" to unit us, but instead he "polarized Americans" even more than they were before. How did he do this? By using his fork-tongue to help the "victim" feel his victimization while pointing to who was to blame for it. He uses the power of mob violence to achieve personal means. He learned how to do this from his great mentor--Rev. Wright.

THAT'S why I always liked him, inspite of his ideology. I actually admire him for remaining republican with all the dimwitted, backward idiots inhabiting that party these days!!

@naughtygirlga - You're a shining example of a typical liberal retard. if you admire Powell for his "slew of accomplishments," then it follows that he's in the wrong party.
Instead of a RINO, he should be one of your clueless Democrazis, who are ruining the system that made America the greatest experiment in history.
