Colin Powell endorses Barack Obama!

[courageux28]

Colin Powell has always had my respect. His endorsement of Obama just confirms he is indeed a wise man. There's a time for politics, then there's a time for good common sense.

[CiscoWes]

Well, I THOUGHT Colin Powell had sense. When I heard he endorsed Obama, a too-left-wing-liberal-nutcase-­to-be-president, inexperienced, stinking senate voting record idiot, he completely lost credibility. I have no idea why he would endorse obama. It makes no sense. I guess he drank the poisoned purple koolaid like the rest of the idiots that voted for him.

"When I heard he endorsed Obama, a too-left-wing-liberal-nutcase- to-be-president, inexperienced, stinking senate voting record idiot, he completely lost credibility. I have no idea why he would endorse obama. It makes no sense."

He spells his reasons out right in the video. If you find it impossible to comprehend how someone can make a smart, informed decision in the election even if it doesn't match yours, then you far too high an opinion of your own judgement.

It wouldn't be impossible to comprehend someone making a smart, informed decision. However that isn't what took place. Like I said, Obama has zero experience, etc... I think people blindly voted for this idiot.

[obamasensation]

No doubt there are some people who did. No doubt there are some people who voted against him on a near jerk basis as well. I would simply advise looking beyond that to the folk who did have intelligent reasons behind their choice, and figure out what those reasons ARE.

[primejade]

I applaud Powell's openmindedness. Some Americans are becoming more and more narrow minded in their views, not listening to anyone that goes contrary to their opinions.

What did Powell say about MCCAIN: "unsure, doesnt have the complete grasp of the problems of the economy."

What did Powell say about OBAMA: "has a depth of knowledge and intellectural curiosity and ready to be President on day one."

[nesnman]

If Obama and his supporters accept Powells endorsement, and embrace his contention that his assessment of pre-war intelligence was an honest mistake, they must also accept the same explanation from Bush, thus eviscerating the core of their anti-war message: Bush Lied.

[lezxotic]

"Bush Lied"

He DID lie. Seven Years agop mI wrote a graduate Paper about the non existence of WMDs. I got in troublwe because I was attending a veryy conservative graduate school.

So if at the time a first nyear graduate student (me) knew that there were NO WMDs why didn't the President who is supposedly the MOST powerful man in the world also know?

Oh and and grad school I attended was located in Washington D.C.

[nesnman]

Bush didn't lie. He trusted the intelligence report , just like everyone else did. You seem to say he changed the report . He didn't

[lezxotic]

Yeah Right, but yet a FIRST year graduate school student (ME!) Immediately KNEW that there were NO WMDs and even wrote a term paper on it and you're telling me that the fucking President wasn't as smart as me?

What a naive ass you are. How did I know there were NO WMDs? Well Bush has always been a liar so I figured that he was lying again and he was.

[nesnman]

Not naive but I'm not play politics with this. You are. You're saying that Bush lied to go to war. He didn't . He did receive bad intelligence from the CIA. That is a fact. Powell trusted the same CIA intelligence.Again, show me how Bush lied about this.

[lezxotic]

Look I don't want to establish an online relationship with you so why do you keep responding?

I will answer one last question: How did Bush Lie?

HE OPENED HIS MOUTH.

Now leave me the fuck alone.

[nesnman]

I respond to the lies you post.

[CiscoWes]

The "Bush Lied" "No WMD's" etc... is simply ignorance. People knew that Hussein did indeed have WMD's. He didn't comply with the UN's requests concerning inspection. The UN gave him plenty of time to relocate the WMDs, hide them, destroy them, etc... They didn't find them. Now since we didn't find the WMD's that we KNOW Hussein had, it made perfect sense to go after him. It was common knowledge that he did have WMD's. It is ignorance to say the contrary.

[lezxotic]

Even Bush admits he was full of shit so I am sick of you numb nuts acting like he isn't now STFU.Even Cheney admits that there were NO WMDs asshole, You're the ignoramus.

[CiscoWes]

You obama lovers have such a command of the English language. I'm impressed. Let me try again. It was COMMON KNOWLEDGE that the WMD's did indeed exist at one point in time. We have two facts here. #1 they did exist, and #2 they are unaccounted for.

[lezxotic]

Who gives a fuck. The election is over and you lost so shut the fuck up and get a life.

[CiscoWes]

Apparently nobody "gives a fuck". That is bascially how and why obama was elected in the first place. I didn't lose. America lost. And like clinton, we can wait it out and vote the idiot out of office eventually.

[lezxotic]

Whatever the reason, you LIST so stop sending me replies because I am over this and do not want to relive this debate,

If you have issues with Obama's election or his citizenship bring it up with the proper authorities and leave me the hell alone.

[CiscoWes]

No problem. I list. It's only youtube comments. Don't take it personally.

[lezxotic]

You are responding directly to me so there is no other way to take it except personally. Jesus what a fucking moron.

[CiscoWes]

Take your lithium, or lexapro, or whatever your doctor has you on. You're screwed up in the head.

[lezxotic]

Fine I'm screwed up in the head. So why do you keep sending me messages? I am not interested in reading you anymore and wouldn't even be on this channel except for your latest missive. Just go away already.

[lezxotic]

Excuse the typos but I think you get the Gist.

Powells support opens up a sweet avenue of attack for rival John McCain, who can now fashion the catch phrase, Bush-Obama foreign policy

[jorge0214]

Powell got screwed by the Bush War of Lies Machine and finally said enough is enough.

John McCain, more of the same?

NO HOW, NO WAY!

Anyone who thinks things will be different with McCain is fooling themselves. Just look who is running John's campaign? The same guys that ran the sleazy Bush/Rove efforts.

McCain has lost our respect. Powell is a true hero who actually puts country first.

[Reallyamusing]

The is one of the finest moments of Colin Powell. This is a clear demonstration that he is true statesman! His approach exposes John McCain as the small, narrow-minded person that he is

[deinvadder333]

he breaks down the facts. simple as that. wise man.

[wingedmonkey2000]

Who cares who this war criminal endorses?
