Colin Powell on Obama

[hearts76100]

Powell would be useful to Obama!

Whether Obama would use him is another matter!

[BamaChris]

Colin Powell has always been a closet liberal. He was only a Republican for the benefit of his military career, and then his time as Secretary of State.

[emotion937]

Yep. And now we've fast forwarded to the present moment( the present moment, meaning at the time I'm typing this in) & see how the people feel.  Ratings gone WAY down. Think he'll be re........HAHAHAHA!!! Ahem! Sorry. Reelected?

[mars3400]

Fuck this...

[djmmcee]

Faith? Racism?

[MG42pillbox]

Powell was the tip of the spear for the Iraq Invasion. Now hes on the side that said it was the biggest mistake to make, yet the Democrats justified it, and asked for the Iraq was even before 9/11 too bad all the Democrat supporters are too ignorant to know this. -Race before everything. (as usual)

[daddymak9]

Hey, MG, do your research a little better. A lot more Democrats voted against the invasion of Iraq than Republicans. And considering Republicans were in control of Congress in March 2003, the invasion was a foregone conclusion. It was a mistake from the outset. Powell was used as a tool by Bush and Cheney.

[launchpaad88]

John McCain the war hero, hahaha.

[eddypimp]

colin powell sold out big time and I wonder what he'll do when he sees where be"lie"ve can take you

[kevinzust123]

he was at my bros gradutation

[carsiotto]

you're a fucking idiot.

[emoboy1978]

whats your problem?

[carsiotto]

why so emo?

[aquariex24]

Why so serious?

[carsiotto]

why so wet?

[emoboy1978]

Stop trying to make BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, may ALLAH bless his name, be ashamed of being MUSLIM.

John McCain "has not talked about his Muslim faith", so you should not, either.

[spywebbbb]

this colin powell is a stupid. he thinks that obama is going to win so he jumps ship to ensure himself a job. stupid man. just cannot see the future like ordinary folk like you and I.

[LOVESINDIANA]

Shame on Colin.

But, he is a black man, so he will vote for a black man.

[187luciano187]

Man the usa is fucked if mcain wins

Its just another george bush to the whitehouse

[ladydi5319]

Wake up America!!!!!

Obama and the democrats will not make everyone equally rich.

Obama and the democrats will make everyone equally poor.

[USAisaREPUBLIC]

I agree; good for you tell everyone who you know to vote for McCain

[ulearn2earn]

I must say that my respect for Colin Powell has diminished proportionately with his weak backbone. He was the closer at the UN in the buildup of the Iraq War. He knew exactly what he was doing and is subject to war crimes and treason.

Even Powell suggested in his Meet the Press interview that something dire is going to happen on the 21st or 22nd of January if Obama is elected.

You overlook his relationship with known terriorist and other fanatics. Your Free Speech is at stake.

[twoshakes]

THATS RIGHT!!

Let them know Colin Powell!! Colin was clearly tired of the BULL SHIT with the Government/White House/Bush etc. Thats why he stepped down from the Secretary of State position shortly after the Michael Moore film on 9/11 was released. So for someone to come into the picture such as Obama speaking with logical, fair plans, & strategies that make sense...Of course Colin Powell is going to be on board for that. He knows its time for a change!

[lapptom12]

Powell was used by Bush and he clearly made mistakes but he did not have a courage to admit it or face Bush. He should have apologized for what he did. It is sad that he is now endorsing Obama for some other purpose at this point of election. Why does smart people so good at preparing for their future but never step up in taking responsibilities for people. It is so sad. If we look at this it seems we have no hope.

[hjecd6]

Go Obama!!!

[KeanuReeeves]

which do you prefer,

McCain/Palin 08 PROLIFE, NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE USA

or

obama bin biden 08 antichrist of the usa

Christians invented the plane

Christians developed nuclear energy

Christians put a man on the moon

McCain/Palin 08 Prolife YeeeeHaaaa!

obama bin biden PBA pulls the legs of babies from the mothers vagina, sticks a knife up the back of the neck of the baby while the head is still inside, and sucks out the brains, am I mistaken or is this the antichrist? watch?v=UQr2vr1ZH68

[RJCHOICE]

Actually "Einstein" the the technology to harness nuclear energy, was mainly developed by scientist who happened to be Jewish , ie Robert Oppenheimer , and uh .. "Einstein" lol

[12235117657598502586]

Colin realises thatBush & the Republicans have lost ALL respect from ALL countries in the world (even NATO countries), especially now after the terrible 'sub-prime' fiasco; which has also fucked the whole world economically... NOW NO ONE OUTSIDE OF AMERICA TRUSTS BUSH OR THE REPUBLICANS ANY MORE!

USA NEEDS SOMEONE THAT THE WORLD WILL RESPECT & LISTEN TO.

BTW, THE REST OF THE WORLD REALLY DOESN'T CARE WHAT COLOUR HIS SKIN IS - IT'S WHAT'S BETWEEN HIS EARS & IN HIS HEART THAT MATTERS!

[grandysfunction]

POWELL ENDORSES OBAMA!!!! No ONE can argue this man's credentials. HE IS an American through and through. For him to endorse OBAMA speaks volumes to the trash that the GOP has turned to in trying to win this election. The game is almost over for the WingNut's who have taken over this great land. ENOUGH!!!!!

[ClarenceCogginsIII4U]

And the great thing is No BULLETS HAVE FLOWN... That's the GREATNESS of What America can be.

Clarence Coggins

Crown Prince of Web 2.0

[FinsterFlummoxing]

Gen. Colin Powell had an insiders view of the last 8 years of Republican malfeasance at the executive level.

After having his trust betrayed by the neoconservative regime, he's endorsing Obama.

I suspect he knows that McCain would be 4 more years of the same thing!

I believe this will put Obama over the top. I don't see anyway that McCain can win now.

Although, early voting on DIEBOLD machines shows that George W. Bush leads both Obama and McCain in the state of Florida by double digits.

[xxlelexx11]

i really like colin powell and i hope that he DOES endorse Obama and he becomes apart of the Obama camp

[kingsman565]

I wounder what dictator that dosen't respect election results he was thinking of?

[ObamaTheRacistGuy]

If Powell endorses Obama I will forever be disappointed in him.

OBAMA IS A PIG!

[makemebreakme]

How can you question Powell's credentials and be dissappointed in him? Maybe you should consider what he had to say in his endorsement and take a hint from him. The GOP is a stain on America's honor. McCain has been endorsed by celebrities and by President Bush. Obama is being endorsed by the biggest names in foreign affairs, economics and domestic policy (Warren Buffet, Colin Powell, and John Lewis).

[ObamaTheRacistGuy]

I didn't question Powell's credentials, I question his judgment. I don't like the GOP, but I hate un-American racist pigs. I hate Obama.

[makemebreakme]

When has Powell's judgment ever been off except when compelled by Bush hardliners to support the Iraq war before the UN General Assembly? There's nothing un-American about Obama, if there were Powell wouldn't support him.

[ObamaTheRacistGuy]

Nothing un-American about Obama? Bill Ayers? Rev Wright? Suggesting that we were killing civilians indiscriminately in Afghanistan and Iraq? Working for failure in Iraq? You are a fucking idiot. Obama is a border-line traitor. Powell was brainwashed by Bush, now he is brainwashed by Obama.

[OctopusDropkick]

Let me know when your balls drop, kid.

[makemebreakme]

The Bill Ayers connection has been disproven long ago. Rev. Wright may have hist criticisms of the United States, but he was a marine and has done more for his country than most of his critics. Barack Obama is looking to strengthen this country by fixing the mistake of Iraq, there was never victory or failure, it was a mistake. Powell was blatantly lied to by Bush about a GTMO detainee. The same could not be said of Obama.

[emoboy1978]

i think rev wright should run for president!!!!

[kenwil32]

Did you agree with going to Iraq, or

do you think we should have gone to where Laden and Al Quieda were actually located??

[ObamaTheRacistGuy]

I don't agree with surrendering in Iraq so that Obama can win the presidency. I want a safe world, not a welfare world. Focusing on the mistakes of Bush is not how we should move forward.

[ObamaTheRacistGuy]

Obama is a pig! Nothing un-American about Obama? Bill Ayers? Rev Wright? Suggesting that we were killing civilians indiscriminately in Afghanistan and Iraq? Working for failure in Iraq? You are a fucking idiot. Obama is a border-line traitor. Powell was brainwashed by Bush, now he is brainwashed by Obama.

[BIgA24242]

dude wat r u talkin bout havent u meant sum one dat u dont wanna talk 2 now wat r we doin in iraq rite now nuttin my bro is a marine n he says they r doin now but watchin free ppl we did wat we had 2 do y r we still there

[kenwil32]

the war in Iraq was never meant to be won, just sustained. historically, in times of war, the country pulls together and become more productive...... but the only thing "made in America" nowadays is debt. the plan didn't work.  when we leave iraq, it's impossible for it to be looked at as a surrender, from a logistical stance. others who think we should stay will try to put a spin on it that makes our president appear weak. damn shame. :(

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!!!

[punktakesnoprisoners]

AND YOUR ARE BRAINWASHED BY FOX NEWS.

[meiitbe]

Colin Powell is a ridiculously overrated goon. Why people speak to him is baffling.

[thebigsuperman]

you are stupid and typical american.

[kenwil32]

An endorsement for Obama from Colin Powell?????

I think my heart skipped a beat....

[albatrossforlife]

I do not think that was an endorsement. It seemed more like Mr. Powell was is commenting on how we are socially and politically in our processes as Americans.

[kenwil32]

TOLD YOU SO!!!

[albatrossforlife]

I know...The country is shocked...and Mr. Powells reputation will never recover.

[kenwil32]

Yup.

I seen it coming :)

[chisaoboy]

Yes.. let's give ZERObama a shot at destroying America. If he can't do it within 4 years, we can try putting another liberal in office and see how well he/she does. Let's keep trying until one of them succeeds. After all... we need change!

[mled06]

Well at this point isn't that better than another Bush?

[SaturnVII]

I'm fine with another Bush. I want a new Congress. When we had a Republican congress, we were doing pretty good.

[sopmodm4]

Not if it's another Jimmy Carter

[haf683]

retard, in the past 30 years there have been 3 democratic presidents. Also in the past 30 years, the economy has been on a steady decline ending up where we are today. In that period of the time, the economy was at its highest when there was a Democrat in office. there's some "straight talk" for ya. tell mccain not to cover up for embezzlers destroying american, will ya? keaton 5

[Chaiyala]

Are you kidding Powell? Obama is looking to turn this country into Socialism and you know it. Government will OWN us if this jerk gets in and you're doing the country a MAJOR disservice by not telling the whole truth.

It figures that stupid ABC only pushes this type of junk on the taxpayer's TV's. Half of America is clueless for what is to come if Obama gets in. Let's talk Capitalism will be gone and Socialism wil be in, ABC!

[ShadowmanRecords]

mccain... think about that man. I'm a republican too.

[businessbmw]

how can you defend maccain ! he stands for thr iraq war!!

the war was a bold face lie! where are the weapons of mass destruction?

Obama wants to help the middle class who are the consumers and the workers of this country!

GDP growth comes from a healthy middle class!!

look at the best the republic party came up with!! BUSH!!!

now they want a second chance?

is what the GOP saying that they are the ones who messed up the country and are the only ones who can fix it?

[kenwil32]

I'm going to take for granted that you are a "Foxnews" fan....... No?

[warrencurrier]

For all of us to discuss Gender and Color here is sexist and racist.

Picking the person with the best ideas about how we can follow our constitution is what we need today.

Council on Foreign Relations be damned.

[TekKnowledge1]

wow...an endorsement from one of the best...you conservative assholes take that!

[revcsolomon]

White supremacy is not strictly money-motivated, its impetus is also a consequent of fear, ala Lord of the Flies syndrome... I am atop the world order and no one is taking me down. Now don't call me a racist because many nationalities and ethnics believe in and support white supremacist ideals - they are getting their piece of the pie too. When Asians are atop the world order, not too long from now, the same individuals will be drawn to an Asian flavor of supremacy/hegemony.

[2ip]

Obama hates white people!

[henriadams1]

his mother is white.

[ss0rca]

Why does he hate his mother?

[henriadams1]

lol, funny.  he doesn't hate white people.

[peace4dove]

Abraham Lincoln was extremely disliked during his presidency. Most of the nation hated him for starting war with the south.We see him with 20/20 hindsight rosy vision now.War is never liked or popular, but we often see the results of difficult decisions later and realize they were a difficult means to an end.The Bush admn. has made plenty of mistakes, just like every presidency. Katrina was handled nighmarishly!But the war is turning the corner and we can make the most of a bad situation.

[blueguise23]

John McCain doesn't respect women or human life!

[tmoda61]

I hope that by now, you know that John McCain who refused to be released from the torture cells in Vietnam in order to have others who were captured before him, to be released first, has changed your opinion. As for human life, please check to see where Obama stands for babies born alive out of botched abortions.

[danielito1979]

lol,,, how many countries in the world would like to have an election like this?... well many of them have had women presidents, and their voting sistems are fair.

[LAR918]

Why Obama is against "Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act."?

[JuanVoyce]

What an incredible BS'er. Powell is a perfect example of what it takes to be a general--the ability to shamelessly suck-up to the next power base.

[jmacphee2]

Caught?? He put himself there, there was no trap, no trick! Danm he presented the whole fucking thing without Question. If he was/is the man you say he is, he would have never put himself in that position.

[juhsepi]

If Obama is about change, then why would he surround himself with the "experienced" people in Washington?

Isn't he going to Washington to change policies. Why isn't he bringing in new blood?

[21CenturiesOfScandal]

people are iffy about his inexperience already why would be bring in more inexperience to make people more iffy about him

[juhsepi]

Because thats all we've heard from him. He's running on the platform of change. I say that if this will be your approach then fine, run on it.

But if your going to use it just to get into the White house. Then you're a hypocrite, if you bring in the same people that have already are there.

Then again, Obama is a Hypocrite. So it would only make sense that he'd talk about change, but use the same people Clinton did.

[aknightofswords]

Consider, perhaps, that stepping over the line to include everyone that has something meaningful to contribute may in fact be change.

[Cucutea]

The honest truth I would vote for Powell as president

[Realleams]

I agree with you Powell should run for president. Not Obama. Obama is smart, but smart enough as Colin Powell.

[SaturnVII]

If Colin Powell runs for President I will vote for him in a second.

[jthomp3120]

even though he was a key memeber of selling the iraq war?

[BillFromWaterford]

No stupid, his wife made him resign. She neve saw him and he chose that over running for President. It had nothing to do with Iraq, or tha bad info given to him by the FBI by a Clinton Depleted Intelligence Agency.

[Srhandel]

I wonder what Powell thinks now that that Obama threw his Reverend and Trinity Church under the bus.....

[kessiah44]

This is a NON-ISSUE. Obama is a Christian...with a marginalized American experience...

unless you are a minority you may not understand what I am saying

The disparities that minorities face in this country are very real

God loves us all...He is not a God of ONLY Americans, but of muslims, jews, buddists, etc

If you don't understand this maybe you really are too ethnocentric.

If he professes his faith aloud and it's good enough for God, it ought to be good enough for you!!

[engles08]

God is the god of everyone but jesus christ is the only way to know him...

[kessiah44]

Yes..I agree. That's why I said Obama is a Christian. (-greek,"Christianos") which in acts 11:26 describes those that followed Jesus or the Messiah. If he simply believed in God, I would have said he is of the Jewish Faith.

Obama has professed his Christianity and once doing so it is NOT the place of ANY human to question what is God's.

By the way, I am in Divinity School to be a Pastor.

He is a man of God and shows all the fruits of the spirit. Spiritual Discernment is the key!

[kessiah44]

FURTHER...George Bush toted Jesus around like a flagpin!

It's not enough to simply use Jesus for your own political or personal gain...

A true Christian shows their devotion to God in their actions, not just words...

[kataravita]

wow, how perfect you are, forgivness is also a sign of christianity and allowing God to judge as YOU judge YOURself, not other christians

[bongiwe]

christians are soooooooooooo blindly narrow minded, it's amazing, I swear you can brainwash anyone to believe and follow anything

[jmacphee2]

All religions are the same so you might as well include them all!

[cowboycarl04]

i am a white male, and was the minority in college and in my current job situation.

All I hear on the news is racist America... that's like the .1% of the population (of all races that are truly bigots and racists) that stir the pot up sadly...

I feel the vast majority of us get along... and get along well.

[jmacphee2]

Well said my friend, 100% true.

[MANwhoamI]

Benedict Arnold claimed to be a patriot when he needed to fool everyone around him.

[mylittletranny]

heh heh...nice one rishof, you have such a way with words: "the three of them, they loves their country...ohama does not love his country...his country is African and he hate a country as all moslem peoples does"

you are fucking retarded! :-)

[rishof]

one remark he was wrong about- the 3 of them love this country... Obama does NOT love this country!

[Balldez]

Powell is an idiot too. He believed Bush

[iamalbright2]

No, he was a true patriot that did EVERYTHING in his power to try to sway Bush against war-mongering and pushed for diplomacy - Cheney & Rumsfeld were after Powell because they didn't like him from the Reagan and Bush 41 years. He was used and abused just like the American public. You should be mad as hell, but at this Administration.

[techno370]

i totally agree. another bonehead.

[paulrevere10]

Balldez before you call somebody a idiot. Make sure you know what you talking about.When you in the army theirs a thing call chane of comand. do your resarch. and I am only 10yrs. old and I know that.

[Balldez]

Powell was only required to follow lawful orders and being that Bush is a known lying criminal shit bum and given the fact that Powell did not know it that makes him an idiot. Even a 10 year old can understand that to bad the Republicans are not as smart as the average 10 year old.

[eavesdroppn]

vote ron paul.for the constitution,2nd amendment,wants to get rid of the IRS,and legalization of marijuana.

[commissar1969]

Barack Obama will be a fine president. I can't wait for the reign of George the Lesser to come to a close. It's been a horrific 7+ years.

[techno370]

im afraid he has about 7 more months. he can do alot more damage in that amount of time.

[MissMelodia]

Today a small time REP. from Sweden been in Capitol Hill to talk about the Iraqi Refugees from Americas illegal occupation.

Hes town has of 80.000 has taken in more Iraqis than UK & USA together.

Sweden with 9.million people has taken 5 % of all the refugees not counting the illegal ones

About 100.000 new Iraqis

USA 700 Iraqis.

Again Sweden has to clean up after Am. War

We give the most to Nicaragua to.

SHAME ON AMERICA.

You cant leave Iraq after ruining the country

[ninigreen7]

General Powell is a EXCELLENCE in person he should have been elected President and for sure would have been a very good one

People like you make Americans and the world very proud!!

Thank you

[eavesdroppn]

your brainwashed.

[roberthenryeller]

Thank you, General Powell. You are, shall we say, prominent, among those we have been waiting for. This is more than enough for now. With no one to feed you bad information this time, I trust you will come to a decision in which, as you have always done, you will put your country first. Sincerely.

[themaestro2657]

This guy should have been president.

[omd86]

very well said
