All I can say, is:
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Do you feel sick at the hypocrisy of these creeps?
Powell endorsed zerobama due to the color of his skin only....
Just concerned or deeply concerned?
It does seem that way, doesn’t it?
Why worry, he’s your brudder.
Interesting. He’s getting the big, intrusive, inefficient and expensive government he voted for, and now he’s complaining?
LOL
It’s about time - disallusionment sets in...FINALLY!
(Yawn) When he says “We’re going to cut it off, and then we’re going to kill it” I might take notice.
(Yawn) When he says “We’re going to cut it off, and then we’re going to kill it” I might take notice.
Over time we are seeing that Powell displays the same lack of principles and abundance of opportunism that was whispered about him many years ago when he was at the Pentagon.
But Colin is black, and Obama is black. They are not supposed to criticize each other.
Watch, all of a sudden Colin is going the urge to run for Pres, just to save us.
I never thought the world was full of egos this large.
I am so F$$$ing angry about what is going on in our country...I feel like I’m becoming a bitter, dispirited person.
Weeeeeeeeeeak response. “He [Obama]needs to be careful...”
Colin Powell is a loser who refuses to face the fact that he BLEW IT when he endorsed O’zer the (not-so) great!
Glad he’s not in the Army anymore. A General who fails to address his mistakes is dangerous indeed.
I’m concerned about Powell’s level of intelligence for endorsing The One.
This gives a new meaning to the phrase “color blind”.
Powell was blind to the clearly predictable result of Zero's election, because of THEIR color.
The idiot speaks truth for once.
Relax, General, the man is qualified for the job. After all it was YOU who said as much.
What a smuck!
La dee frickin' da Colin! In other words we are all going to be livin' in a van down by the river when Zero and his democrat congress is finished spendin' us into oblivion.
LOL!!
There’s only one thing to expect from a colon.
hey General, one question, YA THINK?????????????????????????
Obama’s profligate spending should come as no surprise to those who kept themselves informed before the election. Perhaps Powell was either not informed or not bright enough to foresee the results of an Obama victory.
That would be an AFFIRMATIVE, peace with honor!
Guess what all of you “big names” who publically endorsed Obama ... YOU OWN IT NOW. Sorry, you weren’t concerned about his character and qualifications when it made a difference. You jumped on the bandwagon and threw caution (and this country) to the wind and now you’re going to have to accept responsibility.
Steel Wolf "Not Concerned" By Anything Colin Powell Has To Say
Let’s see he is concerned about the spending, not about the blatant communism Bozo is advocating, but about the spending. Next level of concern is “deeply concerned”. Is there a level higher than that? Maybe “extremely concenedA” and then escalate it to “alarmed”, “very alarmed” and then, finally, “overwhelmed!”. No action is required only words. This POS traitor to the republican party and American people voted for Bozo because he was black and now he is “concerned” about the spending. What a two faced frickin’ hypocrite.
I’m certain that his motivation is more out of concern for Obama and maintaining his popularity and chances for re-election than it is for we simple common folk being burdened with excess taxes and fees.
His heart is in the right place (sarc. off)
Was not it Colon that talked Bush out of letting Swartscoft (sp?) finish his battle of annihilation in Gulf war 1? Big mistake. There would have been no Gulf War 2 had Swartscolf been allowed to finish off the Republican Guard in GW1.
“Do you feel sick at the hypocrisy of these creeps?”
I feel sick that they even have a platform to speak, and that ANYONE affords them the respect of even listening to them.
This isn’t about shoring up Obama. Colin Powell is about Colin Powell. He was calculating as he endorsed Zero, and he is calculating again. I wish we could expel him from the party.
You know...normally, I would care and I wouldn’t dare, but in this case I don’t and I would... I’m officially calling a General of the US Military a POS.
He is a total ass.
What he, as a military man, should be pointing out is the idiocy of Obummer, the Fascist’s, policy toward Honduras.
All this proves is that idiots do find their way to high places.
I’ve seen Conservatives, I know Conservatives, and I am a Conservative....Colin Powell...you are NO Conservative.
Colin who?
Isn’t he the sweetheart of the Dems?
We need to let the world know that he does not speak for the Republcian Party. Regardless of what hesays, he switched to Democrat in 2008, and very publicly, I might add.
Nam Vet
C’mon Colin, how’s a few tens of TRILLIONS of dollars going to hurt us??? He’s doing it for you and the rest of us, and besides, he’s NEW and DIFFERENT!
(idiot!)
Pretty sad, huh?
And the guy that did his job, kept us safe, took all the heat for their supposedly being no WMD--AND THERE WERE!!! and took CONSTANT crap from the Left and the news media....was silent because he thought it wasn't Presidential to "toot his own horn"...and we ragged on him for it.
What HAS America come to?
May be Powell is a Moderate. Liberals use the term “saddened”.
if Obama’s poll numbers turn around then Colin will say something complimentary.....Colin is just a wind vane and a fool
Why is everyone (the Powell type) so concerned now about Obama’s spending? He is doing exactly what he said during the campaign he was going to do. Did people think he was kidding??
I agree. Baraq is running true to form.
He was the most liberal voting senator in his short time there.
It was the idiot voters and MSM who put him in charge.
You have that right as did a lot of others including people that voted for him only because he was black. General Powell is far from the only one and slowly but surely they are seeing the light about the agenda of this man.
Colin Powell=slow learner!
