Clown Bowell needs to get his multiple personalities under control.

Thanks, General Powell, maybe you should have thought of all this before you made a racist decision and endorsed Obama simply because of his skin color.

Maybe Bowell is gearing up for a run at the Presidency. He can attack 0 with impunity.

Hey, Colin! Can you please explain why you endorsed Obama? What were his qualifications? Why was he a better choice than McCain? What had he done in his past that made you think he could do better with the economy than McCain? Or defense? Or keeping government smaller?

That said, glad to see that you might be waking up to see that this guy is ruining our country. Of course, we tried to tell you that, but you would not listen.

Can you please explain why you endorsed Obama? He's black.

What were his qualifications? He's black.

Why was he a better choice than McCain? He's black.

What had he done in his past that made you think he could do better with the economy than McCain? He's black.

Or defense? He's black.

Or keeping government smaller? He's black.

Hope that clears things up for you! 8^)

Now he wants to close the barn door...

After the horse has died from exposure out in the field...

And the barn has been turned in to a Acorn field office...

Brilliant!

Another Affirmative Action Intellectual Lightweight weighs in.

Got where he is thanks to Affirmative Action, even with race-norming barely scraped out of college with a “D” average.

Now why would we listen to this backstabber?

powell on discussing obama's spending: "... and I never would have believed that we would have budgets that are running into the multi-trillions of dollars..."

I am learning as I get older that I tend to give people too much credit. There was a time that I would have considered colin powell to be a very intelligent person. Yet a comment like that makes it clear that I over estimated him.

Colon Powell & Warren Buffet are both concerned now. But, they both advocated this piece of $H%@ on the rest of us.
