  • 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.

  • Really? a joke? And what are you?

  • obama is a moron

  • Colin is the toughest solider, but he lost the pressure of Black community. Now what he says sounds like joke.

  • New agenda of the NWO!!! Great man. I cry myself. But in a different way.

  • While I'm a Democrat, I admire Colin Powell. He is an honorable man.

  • All people should be proud of the accomplishment. Quit holding on to your presumptions and generalizations and let the man do his job.

  • 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.

  • @TheCaliCapitalist lol, brainwashed idiot

  • The only Republican I like

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • @acidee100 Time for a real statesman....Ron Paul

  • Are you really serious?

  • I'm glad he he took time out of supporting a racist party to do the rightthing

  • @TheCaliCapitalist Why are they racist?

  • Democrat here. Powell was the only remotely competent member of Bush's staff.

  • 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.

  • @09Chance Unless your blaming congress and Obama, you havent been paying attention if thats how you feel.

  • Powell is a sell out to the elite.

  • 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.

  • I have new respect for Colin Powell.

  • 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.

  • Comment removed

  • 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.

  • Why bother? He'd face the same hate and bigotry that Obama has to deal with.

  • I cried too when Bo was elected. His speech was very inspirational too. But then reality came around. Final straw was his budget. $1.5t per year. Google - federal receipts. Plus the Tourettes Syndrome from so many of his followers. Including shameless lies. Leaving mud on all of them. Now I even hate Al Gore! And both Clintons!  And Tony Blair! Especially after that shameless love-fest for the president of Mexico. Never again. No more Democrats ever.

  • Awesome dude. The missing link between black and white people.

  • 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. You really believe that Colin Powell knew absolutely nothing about the war he was supporting while he was in the Bush Administration. He lied and thanks to this "statesman" America is still paying the price for Iraqi freedom. You call him a statesman I call him an asshole...

  • @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.

  • You're a douche. i used to love colin powell.

  • u and ur superficial ideas never knew what colin powell was about, hell u don't even know what conservatism, other than arbitrary excuses for anger

  • 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.

  • A very honorable man.

  • Colin Powell is a fucking traitor. Fuck him.

  • 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.

    What a trader.

  • @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.

  • @cassidy99ful Thank you sleeping nazi.

    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. =)

  • This man is a true statesman.

  • @CheezInspector My hero, he should have been the first black president.

  • @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.

  • @CheezInspector stateman???? wtf are you talking about???? He lied about Iraq, he should be in fucking jail.

  • @medqua, oh go watch the PBS document about the events surrounding the Bush Presidency and then we'll address your misperception.

  • Dude.... I'm god :P

  • colin powell 2012!!! he is what the republicans need to become!!! moderate!! not crazy right wing nut jobs!!

  • and.. fuck you!

  • 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....

  • oh please, obama sold out stadiums, mccain barely filled private auditoriums

  • 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!

  • @naughtygirlga - You always liked Colin Powell because he's a RINO.

  • @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 jamieblond thinks she's pretty smart, doesn't she? Frickin' moron.

  • @SmallpoxRot - Is that all you've got, SmallbrainRot? Shouldn't you be watchin' cartoons or something instead of interacting with adults?

    "A person's got to know his limitations."

    -- Dirty Harry Callahan

    (The original quote is, 'a MAN's got to know,' but we're talkin' about you, dickhead)

  • @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 u suck up to blacks alot

  • @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.

  • Comment removed

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • hahaha..you guys are insane...

  • Well done, Ivey Business School... for bringing Gen Powell to Hong Kong.

  • 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.

  • this is coming from a super boy who watches anime? am i suppose to take you seriously like hitler? lmao

  • i have seen his identity, i have yet to see yours

    whatever why do i argue with youtube ppl anyways, they are all kinds of crazy

  • you faggots would never say that around me, i wish ya'll would, i would slap the hell out of you

  • 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

  • Enough said! I feel ya!

  • Greetings.

    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.

    OL.

  • I'm assuming that you were responding to the other guy and not me because I completely agree with you.

  • Greetings.

    Yes. I was responding to the other guy!

    OL.

  • 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.

  • crickets....

  • How the fuck can a General lead to War, what power does he have,

  • 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.

  • No. o: Not I.

  • 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

  • now I can be proud again to say I'm an American and not be ashamed when I travel overseas.

  • 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.

  • What a beautiful moment to be alive and to be American. Yes, everybody cried. Wow.

  • 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!

  • i got all the 3s on the views number. ive also got little else to say

  • 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

  • thank you - from Oklahoma Yes , there are Obama supporters everywhere !

  • This is America, the potential for this to happen was built in to the Declaration of Independence sitting there for us to grow

    up enough to fulfill it's Creed . Happy birthday to America's character

  • bloodngutts: too bad it had to come at the expense of "spreading the wealth around"

  • Stop with the bumper sticker slogans

  • I will not stop.

  • lol better they spread it around than keep it in their pockets as they have been doing lol

  • silverphoenix, you will be on the road to maturity when you learn that words have meanings.

  • 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.

  • silverpheonix360: I have one word for you, OVERCOMPENSATION.

  • 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.

  • I LOVE AMERICA!

  • wait... is he going to take the position if he's offered?

  • i'm black and i love all people! it;s the only way

  • See CONGRATULATIONS OBAMA FAMILY

  • I'm white and I choked up over it. It's not a race thing, it's an American thing. We can be proud of our nation as Americans. Color is irrelevant.

  • Yes It Is An American Thing!
