IMO opinion it is a major endorsement, but might not make a huge difference seeing there is barely 2 1/2 weeks left till election.

Real life video games are cool

So, Colin Powell turns out to be Benedict Arnold after all. Oh well, it just confirms what most of us have suspected about him for some time.

Yeah, this endorsement is going to be the centerpiece of the MSM "coverage" for most of the week. It will be right up there with this "twelve-point lead" for Obama I have been hearing about all morning.

"I was for the war, before I was against it" (something like that)

Congress voted for war, so blame them, not Pres Bush. He was just doing his duty to obey The Iraq Joint War Resolution of Oct, 2002. Had he not taken us to war after Congress voted this Resolution into law, not only would Iran be spinning its yellow-cake into weapons, as it is now, Saddam Hussein would be doing the same with his 600 tons of yellow-cake, enough for 142 nuclear weapons (which we removed this past summer). And in that case, because Pres Bush failed to do what the War Resolution said he must do, Democrats would be calling for Pres Bush's impeachment for not stopping Saddam from now making nuclear weapons.

In light of all of the above, Mr Powell's endorement of Obama is, IMHO, for racial reasons, since clearly Mr Powell had access to the same intel and clearly stated in no uncertain terms we should have gone to war, PERIOD.

Ex politicians Endorsing Politicians is not an "Event".   Powell endorses and then disappears and will not campaign for BHO.  Joe the Plumber has "heart", Powell has "words".    

As Powell said in the Bush Administration, "IF you invade Iraq, you OWN it"  . .  well, he is half right, The people of Iraq, now OWN Iraq, and the USA Liberates another few million people to the Free World Community.     

All in all, I think it is going to be a LONG time before anyone Bombs America Again, and Feels Safe and Snug afterwards.     

When I listened to Powell's rationale, I sadly realized it was all about race. He gave examples that didn't wash.

McCain calling Obama a Muslim? Didn't that originate with Hillary's capaign? John McCain denied it.

I liked C. Powell but I am dissapointed in him for a couple of reasons:

1.   He says it is not race but it is

2.  He talks about negative comments by republicans but seems to conveniently forget the comments made by Obama and his followers about Clarence Thomas and all other black republicans including Condi Rice

3.  Powell just shit on all the republicans who have been so courteous and supportive of him over many many years 

 4.  Republicans should rightfully come to the conclusion that no matter what efforts they make to reach out to blacks, they will NEVER support republicans or republican views agianst someone of their own race

5.  He won't say it or admit but C Powell is a racist

 I think he made a huge huge personal mistake.

Colin Powell caught a lot of flak in the Bush administration... up to this point. If Booker T. Washington (the Uncle Tom of his day) were alive and he went out and endorsed Obama, public opinion for him would change as well. As it is, the media will report this as "the ultimate maverick maneuver."

My guess is that poll numbers will change 0.1% in President Obama's favor.

When Powell was in the Bush administration, the left said he was an Uncle Tom, a traitor to his race, not really "down for the struggle".  It was worse when he make the administration's case at the UN for the Iraq War.  The left had nothing good to say about him.  Now that he's endorsed their darling, I'm sure all of that will have changed.

OK, OK enough about Joe the plumber--

The man you have to keep your eye on is Sam the Septic tank Siphoner. He cannot get within 10 feet of Obama because his siphon turns on automatically when it gets within ten feet of sh**.

Sam Says siphoning Socialist sh** saves citizens from stagnation.

Sam also says his job is to spread the wealth around too.

Skin color does matter apparantly. Even though he said it wasn't (doesn't everybody say that?) it is apparant that Powell is siding with his black race. don't you know its ok for Blacks to be racist? The press will have a field day with this. A man that served and became famous in Gulf War I and then in the Bush 43 admin. he distanced himself once he was Secretary of State. He looked relieved when he stepped down and got out of the admin. He clearly did not agree with the Bush Admin.

The one thing that he gets away with that really chaps me is his knowledge that Richard Armetage his underling at the State Dept. leaked Valerie Plame's name and did not step forward to clear any of the Bush people.  He may have broken the law by being an accessory also. 

But hey, its Gen. Powell. Maybe there is something for him in an Obama admin? The timing of his endorsement looks awfully selfserving  and disengenuous. 

Unfortunately, this will have an impact with the "handringers" that can't make a decision. 

Get ready for Socialism, communism, marxism and all the left wing nuts running the gov't.

I am interested in the common weal,

That is why I plan to steal

Money from the filthy rich

Each of them a son of a bitch

And spread it out amongst the poor

Pimp and screwoff, idler and whore

I will spread all this wealth

To pay for all the others health

For is that not the loving way?

To have socialism make the day?

Free food, welfare checks and parks?

Oh how I love old Karl Marx

How is it possible a self described Republican could find ANY common ground with Americas most left Senator? Wonder what solidarity trumps party, politics and ideals....

I have two suggestions here:

1) The feds should stop wasting time (and our money) going after these stupid fake viagra dealers.

2) Instead of wasting even more time and money going after these private sector types, why not go after the people truly responsible? Like Frank, Raines, Dodd and the rest?

Or, is the government going to get a pass on its invlovement in this mess?

Colin Powell is probably looking for a position in the O'Bummer administration.  ALERT: Sorry Powell, McCain will not have you in his administration.

Powell was a flub in office and a total loser.  Bye Bye Colin

The most dangerous "Ism" in America today isn't an "Ism".  It is POLITCAL CORRECTNESS.  The political left, the media and the education system have successfully ingrained this non-ism into our lives.  Millions of people are scared to death of offending someone's sensibilities, PARTICULARLY ABOUT RACE.  

The Obama campaign is ALL about race and political correctness.  His pre-emptive strikes seem to have scared the hell out of a lot of otherwise thoughtful people.  Don't criticize the Messiah because they'll accuse you of wearing a sheet, or turning a water cannon on him.  

Hopefully, there seems to be a glimmering of a backlash.  Whether or not it's too little too late will have a huge impact on the future of all Americans.

Rush Limbaugh is officially a joke.  His most recent attack against Colin Powell was completely classeless and idiotic.

Am I the only one who wonders how Obama raised another $150 million dollars in a month?  If the economy is so bad, where in the USA is this coming from, (or is that a trick question)?  It's enough to make a cynical New Yorker wonder..

Colin Powell is the same financier backed ilk which started World War II. I would instead choose to comment on another little soldier who was a political hack too focusing on AP propagandist Deanna Bellandi who wrote an excuse piece for Bill Ayers.

Replace Ayers name with Adolf Hitler's name and it is amazing how disgusting the Obama Ayers connection is and those people defending the creature that is Bill Ayers.

http://lamecherry.bl...

As
one can note Deanna Bellandi today wrote a propaganda piece on poor
Bill Ayers, the terrorist leftist agent in being such a nice guy.
I
thought it would be fitting to ask his wife Bernadine Dohrn who is
Jewish and David Axelrod who is Jewish, all of whom with Bill Ayers
support and mentor Barack Obama if the following game would be
acceptable if Bill Ayers name was taken out and Adolf Hitler's name was
placed in it.

The only difference between Adolf Hitler
and Bill Ayers is Hitler pulled off his revolution involving race
warfare and Ayers only murdered a few of his comrades in Greenwhich
Nacht.

*That doesn't mean the man who has
become a political headache for Barack Obama is hiding his past. In
fact, all you need to do is stand outside Ayers' office at the
University of Illinois in Chicago to be confronted with it.

Underground is plastered on his door. A postcard for a documentary on
the group shows an old mugshot of Ayers. Nearby is cover art from
Ayers' 2001 memoir, "Fugitive Days."

*Ayers'
beige stone rowhouse on Chicago's South Side is just a few blocks from
Obama's home. He lives there with his wife, former fellow radical Bernardine Dohrn. Now a law professor at Northwestern University,
Dohrn was a fugitive for years with her husband until they surrendered
in 1980 and charges against him were dropped because of government
misconduct, which included FBI break-ins, wiretaps and opening of mail.

Hitler's bunker, listening to his phone conversations and opening
Hitler's mail.

*Although
Ayers has refashioned his life from street-level revolutionary to
intellectual, he has not entirely renounced his past.

So it seems Adolf Hitler can be reformed using the same criteria which Bill Ayers has manipulated.

All
Hitler needed to do was throw a party for Obama, help a Democratic
Mayor issue in a new program to destroy teachers unions and say he was
voting for Obama and all those terrorist problems of the past would
just be nothing, because when you vote for Barack Obama even Adolf
Hitler would be a good guy according to liberals.

What the Heck! Those talking heads on Fox News Sunday are acting like Obama has this election wrapped up.  Disgusting!  Chris Wallace is a jacka$$.

On Powell

Is Colin Powell even RELEVANT anymore?  What has he done - write a book?  Wow!  He is positioning himself for a cabinet position.  You know the brothas were gonna stick together, Yo! 

When Wallace asked McCain about Powell's Obama endorsement, John shrugged and said he has endorsements from 4 former secretaries of state.  Way to go John.  Colin Powell was somewhat of a limp-noodle, sour apple in Bush's administration anyways. 

This election is not over yet!

Let's call if for what it is, a "racial" decision and I don't care what anybody else tries to call it!  I am saddened yes, surprised NO!! Why is that???????
