Here is video of former Secretary of State Colin Powell saying - somewhat grudgingly - that he is "concerned" about all the spending and programs being pushed by President Obama. Powell made the statement after pushed by CNN's John King, who played a video of Powell speaking at the 1996 GOP Convention where he explained why he became a Republican. Powell said then he wanted a smaller government and lower taxes with less bureaucracy. King then asked Powell how he felt about Obama's policies in light of that speech. . . . . . (Watch Video)

This coming from the same person who recently claimed Americans want bigger government and more taxes.

BO must not be paying any attention to Powell. He was used and now he knows it.

[raptor29]

Actually, Powell’s concerned about everything, but he doesn’t have the cubes or the integrity to come out and admit his mistake in endorsing this commie clown.

[shalom aleichem]

Does anyone care what Colin Bowell thinks?

Is he having buyer’s remorse?

I “wonder” if he is saddened by Sarah’s resignation, but I do not “care” a fig about him or anything he thinks.

igger government and mo taxes?

oh?

[bgill]

Colin helped put Hussien into office. Flippity floppity.

[mkmensinger]

He just noticed???

[Gay State Conservative]

To say he’s “concerned” clearly implies that he’s also *surprised*.While serving in the Army I attained the lofty rank of Spec 5 and have never served in a President’s cabinet and yet knew from the very start that this would happen.I’m stunned that Mr Powell,a man with a resume that’s *far* more impressive than mine,is just now figuring this out.

Colon Bowel, you soiled your own bed.

Now you can lie in it.

[Diogenesis]

Powell had no trouble supporting Pres.Obama and getting
him in Office. They are married at the hip.

[Prole]

I am also “concerned” as to why the RNC expects me to give them any money so long as they retain DEMOCRATS like POWELL in their inner circle.

Powell proved he was a Black first and an American second.

[randomhero97]

Hey Colon, you’re irrelevent so f**k off.

[kalee]

Doesn’t it make you wonder. We were told that to be good Republicans we had to support John McCain, so we bit the bullet and did it. Now we’re the pariahs and Colin Powell who voted for the Democrat is the respected Republican. Topsy turvy world.

[Costumed Vigilante]

Too late. You picked your Magic Negro, now you're stuck with him, you affirmative action shill.

A verbis ad verbera

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I thought Powell was supposed to be a genius!

[alarm rider]

Well, excuse me as I go on a brief rant, but didn’t ol’ Colin choose race over party, country and common sense?

I am really tired of the Colin Powell’s of the world, really waiting for them to just go away. Retire your mouth, retire your a$$ and just go away.

[TypeZoNegative]

No, he proved that he put racial politics first, and America second.

[JustTheTruth]

NO SH*T, SHERLOCK!!!!!

WHAT THE H*LL DID YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU ENDORSED THE MOST LIBERAL SENATOR FOR PRESIDENT IN YOUR SELLOUT MOVE??????

[Carley]

Bowell is no longer of any use to BO

He says he is in touch, meets with O and people in the administration and tells them they are trying to do too much and spending too much.

They could not care less about what he has to say about anything. Powell was their useful idiot.

"But I strongly believe that at this point in America's history, we need a president that will not just continue, even with a new face and with some changes and with some maverick aspects, who will not just continue, basically, the policies that we have been following in recent years. I think we need a transformational figure. I need--think we need a president who is a generational change. And that's why I'm supporting Barack Obama." - Colin Powell

[patriot08]

But you pushed Obongo because he was a ‘bro’,
you RINO pos.

[Daniel II]

This is what happens with Affirmative Action. The “slow to get a clue” and the “not so bright” rise to the top.

[Paige]

Well golly gee wiz, Powell can’t seem to make his mind up. Another Liberal moment....

[HereInTheHeartland]

It won’t work Colin. You can’t come come back. You chose sides and will have to live with it.

[TNdandelion]

He went out there and sold this crap, rolled around in it and gloried in it. I'm very sorry he's concerned but I really don't care what he thinks now.
