Colin Powell On Obama's Spending

[Twilightifyable]

The debt when George W. Bush took office was $5.727 Trillion when he left it was $10.627. The debt/GDP increased by 27.1% in eight years of office (It was 83.4% when he left office).

.

Obama claims that his spending is reasonable better than Reagan. He proposed 3.7 Trillion with a deficit of 1.4 Trillion for 2011. Currently based on usdebtclock org, the debt/GDP is 97.2%. Obama in two years of office increased the debt/GDP by 13.8%.

boots920, saddam used weapons of mass destruction. just ask the Kurds. open a history book asshole.

[dixiegirl999]

I never realized that the majority of Americans were so stupid until they voted for Obama. How could we ever get them to see the good like Ron Paul when they get hynotized by some idiot/Obama that came out of no where. All he had to say was the word change. I don't think we have a chance in hell as stupid as the majority of Americans are. God help us ones that have common sense and see the truth/reality.

[severe8403]

Dixie,

Its seems that you are in the majority.

[James92802]

LOL maybe it's you that is stupid? It has to be one or the other you or them.

[theplayaway]

Your right Dixiegirl999

Obama Litterally studied wiccan as a child

His mother is a witch true story, But even if obama wasn't elected and if ron paul or mCcain was elected we'd see the same out come... all this spending and debt. is for a bigger picture, In are life time some major events are gonna happen that's gonna change North America as we know it.. There's absolutely no chance of ever paying back are debt, true story!! unless the North American union, Amero New currency is made.

[kevinjones238]

@theplayaway What kind of bullshit are YOU uttering???  OUR not ARE!!!

[dixiegirl999]

He's like all the rest of them that voted for Obama. He regrets his vote but, it's too late. I have no pity for any of the idiots that voted for Obama. It was just stupidity. All we can do is say good by to normality due to idiots.

[bednek56]

How in the hell could people belive this man when he said he wouldn't raise taxes on people making less than 250,000. Who in the hell would pay for the heath care that he is proposing?

I knew from the beginning that this man is a liar!!!! The amercian people are stupid, for voting him in office. Now they're regretting it.

[kevinjones238]

@bednek56 In all actuality idiot, he HAS NOT raised taxes. He promised to raise taxes on the wealthiest 2% that hold in excess of 40% of the US wealth but GOP ass holes made him compromise(he had to give a little in order to get damn near nothing). Fact: taxes will have to be raised in order to properly service the national debt and become fiscally responsible. America had bills to pay and the rich are not contributing!!!

[rdavian]

why do americans think the problems were having can be turned around on a dime when it took us 8 yrs to get to this point.

[bigtex501]

Rd

The recession has been almost 2 years since it began it's inception. Get your facts right even if you're an obama supporter! And remember the housing bubble popped under your friend, Dem Barney Frank when they continued to force Freddie & Fannie to make loans that should have NEVER been made!

And I guess you think excessive taxation will fix everything, right?

Well, your Dem buddies want to hit EVERYONE with a National Sales Tax that might be around 25%. That'll help the economy!

[toneo2001]

Hello!! It wasn't till 2006 when we had a Democrat majority in Congress when the train went off the tracks!!! The video's are right there and you can see for yourselves as Democrats were warned repeatedly about Fannie Mae.

[Paetaor]

More like 20 years or more.

The bag of crud that was handed down from one administration to another just got ever larger over time.

[bluewolf20]

I heard Ron Paul speak at a debate and he made more sense than any other candidate Republican or Democrat. Yet the media treat him as an irrelevant nut job. Obama promises change yet he is just a PR man who tells you what you want to hear then he does what the party wants him to do. He is a good speaker yet a weak leader as Iran, North Korea and his economic management shows.

[jrod2211]

lol just shows how much of a political hack he has become.

[elucidative]

This guy is in the Council on Foreign Invasions, I mean Relations. He is part of the problem. A compulsive liar.

[bigtex501]

Elucid,  Council of Foreign Invasions? Oh, that's tacky! lol

[BeantownJim]

Ron Paul 2012

[BeantownJim]

Under the userper obama govt' will double!

[9secondsflat]

This man should be president...get rid of that bogus fake sitting in the oval office now.

[AStarSpangledGirl]

BUT??? BUT? I believed in that BUT???

Give me a freaking break.

You are a sell out and what Obama is doing is WRONG.

[bigtex501]

Powell voted for this new Pestilence of the United States, so now live with your support of him!

The GOP sure doesn't need a "flip-flopper" in their party but maybe Powell found out that the Dems don't want him either...... An old leader without a home!

Go home Powell, maybe Ron Paul will take you in..!

[AStarSpangledGirl]

Bitex...why the hell are you bringing Ron Paul into this bozo??? Ron Paul is the most conservative Republican and record shows it. If people started paying more attention to him and had voted him president...we wouldn't have to be in this mess.

[bigtex501]

StarGirl, Sorry, but was just trying to dump Powell off somewhere where he'll do no harm!

Maybe we should try...... umm..... PETA, or NEA...

Hey, I've got it!!!! Let's give him back to obama and let obama nominate Powell for Supreme Court Justice seat when the next one comes up?

[AStarSpangledGirl]

lol..PETA sounds good!!!

[bigtex501]

AStar, Then PETA it is! Well, wait... if Powell is working for PETA, I'd hate to think of what his decisions will do to those poor animals! They'd be so confused by his "flip flopping" that they'll need therapy!  lol

How about....the National Weather Service? They can get by with weather reports that flip flop and we wouldn't think a thing about it!

Please cast your vote!

[noskool319]

riiiiiiight.... "smaller government"........ coming from a man who served on an administration that doubled the size of the federal government. priceless.

[vdubs4life1964]

and here comes cap and trade.... See you in the soup lines....

Game over man, game over.. What are we going to do now?! What are we going to do?! - Aliens (1986) lol

[truthfreedom4all]

Too little too late Mr. Powell Government IS the problem.

[mcgrawtim123]

WAY too little, WAY too late, Mr. Powell. Please sit down.

[katey1dog]

The Checklist (if I were President):

1. End the war on "terror."

2. End the war on drugs.

3. End the war on illiteracy.

4. End the war on poverty.

Let's face it, we've lost.

[lethalintention]

well said

[limitedgovt999]

5. End the war on the economy.

The govt has pretty much destroyed our economy and everything else.

[katey1dog]

Indeed.

[justamomforjesus]

I dont trust any of these liers

[SaveOurSovereignty3]

here here

[boots920]

Why would you trust this idiot , he told the world that Sadam had weapons of mass destruction.

Arrest the deceivers !!! Arrest the Traitors !!!!

[Redcarpet01]

@boots920 Hitler's Foreign Minister was hanged at Nuremberg.

[JohnTheYetiBeast]

@boots920 It has nothing to do with trusting him, but everything to do with judging if his statement is true of false. In this case... its true.

[kevinjones238]

@boots920 Hmmm. If you were smart, you would question the intelligence that was passed on to him before he tried to persuade the UN into backing the US against Saddam Hussein. The information that HE was passing on to the UN was based on CIA intelligence. As the US Secretary of State, he was considered the primary US ambassador and as such had an obligation to pass the information on to the international community(THE UN) to build a case against Hussein. GET IT!!!

[4rcane]

CNN shopping Colin to run as a Democrat for 2012? He's never going to win the Republican primary. He's too socialist and he has already betrayed the party by support Obama over Mccain

[savior02]

how nice after the big banks and rich world corporations run the deficit to the trillions, we now can solve the problems of the people with limited money

[bulldogger]

I'd bet on David Petraeus in 2016 over Colin Powell in 2012, it's obvious war is coming, and who better to be Commander in Cheif and lead a war then an ex-General, I wouldn't be surprised if they both ran.
