He has been the Ultimate PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE PERSONALITY.

He is a bitter, angry man with an ego way beyond his accomplishments. And he always comes through with this smiling “Yes Sir” stuff when he is the “Big shot” and then down the line comes the “GOTCHA!” moment.

This is beyond disloyalty to the Bush’s, it is disloyalty to his country.

What a total phony.
He is now just another played out Weasely Clark.

I knew Powell was trouble from the start. Why his opinion matters is beyond me — he got tricked by Turkey didn’t he? I wonder what the Bush Family is thinking about him now. Should be clear to them that they should have listened to more conservatives and fewer ‘moderates’.

As a former General and Sec of State, Powell endorses a candidate that can't pass an FBI background check because of his associations with so many seedy characters from white hating Pastors to Timothy McVey-esque unrepentant terrorists....

COLIN POWELL IS A RACIST

De’hood sticks together, big ears and all.

But then the job offer was probably pretty good.

Apparently, he isn’t as brilliant as everyone thinks. He just said that he watched Obama through the financial crisis and was impressed by BHO’s leadership. Not sure what he was watching, but his true leaning is showing proudly.

Yep. This was his last chance to twist the knife and he took it. He’ll be promised some sort of ROAD post in the Hussein cabinet for the effort, but this endorsement won’t have much effect beyond the typical lib mediagasm.

I thought also this would be his ultimate passive aggressive “gotcha!” moment.

He’s watched Obama and he has the “style and substance” to do the job.

WHAT SUBSTANCE? I’ll agree he has more than enough style to be an effective persuasive leader....so do most cult leaders by the way...but what substance?

I’m amazed how “fair weathered fan-like” Mr. Powell is. He is a band wagon politico type. Let’s wait to see who leads the polls two weeks out and then support that guy who’s leading.

Basically the reason he’s supporting Obama is the rest of the world wants him elected. That’s all nice and dandy...but some of the parts of the world who loves him HATES America....

And the Ayers thing...ARE YOU KIDDING ME POWELL?? This isn’t important? So having a “casual” relationship with Osama bin laden is okay? Oh in 30 years it will be okay? The only difference between Ayers and Obama or McVeigh is he wasn’t all that effective in his goals. He didn’t do enough by his own account. This thinking is the pre 9-11 mentality that caused us to accept these guys at “Oh they aren’t really that much of a threat”....

Read the educational plans of Ayers Mr. Powell...or are you a socialist anyway who believes THIS is the substance you crave?

If Obama wins how long will it take before a reparations bill is put before the Congress?
