And Obama does and from what that Palin hasn’t eclipsed? Would have been my followup, but I’m not surprised. He’s been a thorn in our efforts since before the 2004 election when all those surprising anonymous “tip” flowed from the State Department to embarssass the Administration. His “insurrection” led to Andy Card asking for his resignation.
Note also Powell’s words match verbatim the Obama campaign’s talking points on the “standing in the world” and the “economy”.
You’ll remember that in February he had told a group of students that electing a black president would be “electrifying“? That led to preliminary talks with campaign officials who - yes - offered him a position in the coming administration.
Side note, Powell appeared at Senator Ted Stevens corruption trial as a character witness and gave testimony that he trust Stevens completely and “As we say in the infantry, this is a guy you take on a long patrol”
Yeah, on a bridge to nowhere. Tells you everything you want to know about his endorsement of Obama.

Bingo. Another case of a man who was promoted beyond his competence due to political correctness.
Roger that. He was the Defense Department’s “Magic [you know what]”
Who’s surprised that the africans willingly put “us” first and the USA somewhere further down the list. NOT ME!! That “culture” has mostly been about ME...ME...ME... Wait til all the lib whiteys start getting slapped around and pushed aside and then they’ll know we were right.
I've always thought of Colin as a Democrat.
Racism.
Will those in the ethnic communities who praise Colin and proclaim the decision “color blind’ be as vocal when he comes out to advocate and support gay oral copulation?
This is what I’ve gathered by reading several threads damning Colin Powell for an endorsement that everyone claims they don’t care about anyway:
As a person of color, a vote for Barack Obama is racist because I just care that he’s black and nothing else (and hate white people and whose life accomplishments are purely an Affirmative Action joke.)
According to the MSM, if I *don’t* vote for Barack Obama, it must be because I’m racist and nothing else.
I think this is called a “no-win situation.”
And this will attract whom?! Blacks never did like Powell. They look at him as an “Oreo”. A slave to the man. “It’s not about race”?! This idiot has as little to say about WHY he endorses BO then anyone else you may confront that’s a BO fan. THEY DON’T F-ING KNOW!!
See how far PC has pushed, now some of are even afraid to say NEGRO.
They wanted to time it for maximum effect, this takes Joe the Plumber off the plate.
Another question would be does a bear poop in the woods?

Pesky double click is driving me nutz.
Don’t confuse Fred Barnes with a conservative. He is a member of the Bill Kristol set, not a conservative.
In Gulf War I he was a voice of restraint, denying the troops the opportunity to complete the task, hence the genesis of Gulf War II.
Sorry, but to me Powell is at best an empty suit, at worst a timid liberal.It is no surprise here that he backs the more Marxist Muslim candidate.
I’m more in tune with the Joe Plumbers of this world then some another washington elitist.
