Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama

[OBAMAJUSTSAYNO]

Its now OFFICAL! I posted that Powell was seeking a job; Well Obama just announced Powell will hold an important role in his administration! so all that bullshit of claiming Powell wasn't in it for something shows the pencil pushing General is just a big a liar as any politician.

[kenjunya]

He NEVER said he would be in a Barack administration! Colin Powell stated he has 40 yrs government service and has NO plans on returning to service, however if ANY president came to him asking for his service he would talk to them. He's always said that! That's how he ended up as Secretary of State.

[fjgh15]

This guy is just so deeply cool.

[phrentik]

I am not black or Democrat, but Obama seems to be the better man. McCain has sold out to the Fascists in his party.

[kenjunya]

I agree. I'm black, but I'm independent. I like the idea of smaller government, but I'm also all about helping those who need assistance.

[FyahStarta]

I dont care what ur talking about, kenjunya is a cutie

[kenjunya]

LOL thank u :)

[lavvy2585]

what is up with the music while giving the speech? There are going to be some fights at work tomorrow.

[kenjunya]

My bad wit the music LOL I was rockin some Anthony Hamilton :)

[OBAMAJUSTSAYNO]

Strange Powell is black? HAHAHAHAHAHA Plezzee, This was a no brainer. Blacks thinking the rest of the races believe you are legitimate in your choices the past 50 years is laughable. you DONT LOOK AT POLICIES, IDEALS, IDEAS, OR PLATFORMS! You vote 90% Democratic across the board. It was the Republicans that passed the civil rights bill, as they were the majority in the house, senate and presidency in 1965, and it Was Nixon and the Rep's that got you affirmative action! Powell was no Swartzcoff!

[trecurry7]

you don't know whit. Powell has been around since reagan. A general. Show some respect. Republicans has never done shit for anyone but the with minority. moron.

[trecurry7]

you're argument is ignorant for this reason. Did you know that whites have voted in large numbers for all of the U.S. presidents, even when you suppressed our vote for hundreds of years? and don't talk about 50 years ago, when I can still see a hanging tree from my apt in Winchester, Virginia. Fuck off.

[MarteLHammersHussein]

Its hypocritical of the dumbocraps to praise Powell. If Powell had endorese McCain, they would have been whinning about Powell supposedly misleading the world in the UN..during the 2nd Gulf war...blah...blah..and therefore not reliable.

[trecurry7]

you need to read. stop assumptions. if you can't see the end of your campaign from this endorsement, as the middle goes blue, you're an idiot.

[OBAMAJUSTSAYNO]

An idiot that knows Powell''s history as nothing more than an adivisor! He doesn't get respect when he supports an NON MILITARY ultra left wing liberal. the turth is he's voting BLACK!! Dont spin this like Powell's a great figure, he's a pawn and was used as such! He was to cowardly himself to run for President because he didn't want his multiple maritial affairs out in the open! This isn't about middle its BLACK VOTING BLACK! You're the idiot that is blind to facts!

[trecurry7]

Hey see you on NOV 5th. We'll see what you know.

[trecurry7]

I love the fact you're screamin an whinin. Maybe one day you'll have your own tree.

[OBAMAJUSTSAYNO]

Yeah but i'll be pissing all over yours LOSER! hahahahahahahaha :)

[trecurry7]

i feel sorry for you

[RealismOfLife]

Anybody that says Colin is voting for Barack because hes BLACK is simply a racist..When Colin gave Great reasoning on why he is voting for Barack he gave FACTS..And on top of that he knew Mccain for over 25 years so he knew that he wouldnt be good for the job.And if he is voting for him because he's black ..SOOOOO FUCKING WHATTT...its about time us black stood togther for a change ...

and if you dont like it

FUCK YOU!!...WE HERE TO STAY :)

Obama/Biden 08"

[OBAMAJUSTSAYNO]

I'm Black you stupid bitch!! And look at Black on Black crime!! Look at our population sensus since 1980!! we're down almost 7% That is huge. You can say all that bullshit you want about what Powell said, the bottomline to us ex military people, is Powell turned his back on a true American soldier! Fact is Powell handled 8 months in Nam, and that was 1962, he got an injury, and all but him went back to their battalion! He got General through affirmative action too! You type Blacks are FOOLS!

[trecurry7]

Come on now ya'll have you ever read Powell's the commanders, those who have saw this comin on this Sunday. This will dominate the news cycle for two weeks. Game. Set. Match.

[kenjunya]

Fox News just stated they believe Colin Powell's endorsement was probably because of "ethnic ties"! WTF??? Talk about injecting race!

[adc7474]

Of course Fixed news would say that. They are in the bag for McCain. NEVER a reliable news source. And before you neocons out there respond, you know it's the only place you can view all your wing nut propaganda in one place. Good for Colin Powell!Just Remember he is a republican, obviously one of the reasonable ones!

[UserNumberNotValid]

Well , this is GREAT news.  Where can we see the video of it?

[diast8r]

This is exciting news. How can you be so calm?

[kenjunya]

Im still in shock! I'm watching it on Fox News now and of course they're attempting to crucify Colin Powell. They're pushing the fact that Colin Powell helped make the case for us to go to war.

[adc7474]

Along with McCain, Bush, Cheney, etc. They know they are losing and they are grasping at straws...hilarious, yet pathetic at the same time

[OBAMAJUSTSAYNO]

Crucify? ITS THE TRUTH, and there's U.N. tape to prove it! Look its a no brainer Powell being black is supporting Nobama. Dont you come in here and spin the B.S. about Fox, when Powell is the one looking for a job! Oh yes, Powell is in line for a Nobama cabinet postion! Funny thing look at Powell's record, He never lead any major battle, or war front! He's no Patton, Eisenhower, Swartzcoff, Bradley, Powell nothing more than an advisor!

[trecurry7]

there are tons of tapes of McCain saying the war is easy, and I bet you can buy Bush's Mission Accomplished banner on ebay. Read SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR. Great generals never have to go into battle, they win before it occurs. Thank Powell for the war with Russia that never happened when he was under Reagan. then he advised Clinton, Bush One, Bush 2, and now Obama. How's Norman's career going?

[OBAMAJUSTSAYNO]

Then what war exactly did Powell help win? hahahahahaha... NONE!! I thank Reagan for no war because it was him not Powell who told them we have the Star Wars program in space! And it was Swartcoff not Powell who was lead General in the 1st gulf war!! Says something there, that Powell was not able, or had the gonnads, or intellegence to win a REAL WAR, let alone be anywhere near the fighting! I've read Powell's rap sheet in the military, and its nothing more than a desk job! lmao@ u-idiots!

[trecurry7]

when we left the Gulf War the first time, it was Norman's move. Why do you think things are the way the are now? How about reading, I praise leaders for keeping us out of war, not getting us into them. And what happens whenChina starts knocking sats out of the sky, where's our capability then? Barack and Powell talk about it. Has McCain?

[kenjunya]

Are you serious??? Can you say "Gulf War"? Colin Powell served Bush 41 and served in Bush 43 cabinet as secretary of state! He is a true fiscal conservatist. I myself have alot of respect for Colin Powell. At the time of this video posting Meet The Press had not yet aired. Now that it's been aired it's here on youtube. You should check it out. He makes a compelling argument.

[trecurry7]

Don't you love the racial arguments people bring to the table? What's sad is that for the next few weeks every non-white leader who endorses Obama will be torn down. But the educated public, black, white, whatever, will pull them back up.  This is a movement. Not a campaign.

[kenjunya]

It's really sad because every "non white" voting citizen have cast votes their entire life for whites candidates with very few exceptions (jackson, sharp, chisholm, fulani, keys, and braun). None of which received a party's nomination.

[OBAMAJUSTSAYNO]

that was incredibly stupid KENJUNYA; non whites casting their vote for whites all their lives...Those whities have all been DEMOCRATS, 90% across the board! It was the Blacks who turned on clinton and Bill especially "your so called 1st black prez" during the primaries. Blacks are more hypocritical than any race i know. With the polls closing in and the race tightning, i cant wait for the blacks to start rioting when Nobama loses like Kerry and Gore did! You'll set us back 50 years when you do.

[kenjunya]

Your comment totally lacks intelligence. If you read my comment again maybe you will find the second time what was actually being stated.

[OBAMAJUSTSAYNO]

I dont read stupidity twice Kenjunya! It was loud and clear the 1st time. You are not very astute to facts, Bill Cristal from the Weekly Standard, wrote 3 months ago of Powell backing Obama! You seem to obsessed with your Archie and Jughead = obama/biden comice relief than facts. Biden did how ever slip a biggie once again yesterday. He stated within 6 months a major iternational insident will hit Obama, and he will be tested! Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, China, Russia, Venezuela? God Help Us!

[runningchance]

General Powell (Reoublican Secretary of State)endorses Senator Obama, put that on your robocalls! By the way Powell stated he is still a Republican.

[pluu9]

Amazing... Colin Powell endorses Obama. Hell yes!
