Powell has yet to produce any evidence that McCain changed his economic approach, in other words, he lied to inflict damage. Pretty damn disappointing being I once served under this Guy when I was a Private. A loss of confidence in his leadership ability, much like Tim Walz D-Mn, my district is represented by another Military mind gone bad. But it's due time, Powell, be a man and apologize.

Powell said Obama, in contrast, had come out of recent weeks looking presidential. 'He displayed a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity, a depth of knowledge and an approach to looking at economic problems like this, and picking a vice president (Joseph Biden) that I think is ready to be president,' remarked Powell in the TV interview.

Mr. Powell can no longer be accused of being a brilliant man, he is a player just like the rest of incestuous north east liberal-ville. He never learned the meaning of the word respect and filled himself with pride by alllll those that bestowed respect upon him. LET HIM GO he is not even worth talking about that is his specialty these days talking.... and he does not do it on the cheap.

Sen. John McCain talks to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about Powell, starts at 10:55

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/10/22/tsr.mccain.interview.cnn?iref=videosearch

McCain “ All I can do is laugh, We’ve been very consistent about cutting spending, cutting taxes and the fundamentals of our economic message,

Senator Obama has been all over the place, including raisin taxes on only the rich, tax cut for 95% of Americans when 40% pay no income tax, what ever it is he’s changed look at the position he’s(Øbama) held on tax increases when he was first running in the primary, and look at them now there vastly different, and

the fundamental difference is, and may be Secretary Powell agrees with him, I don’t know, the spread the wealth around is certainly something I would never do “

Joe Biden on BHO:

“I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”

Powell just crapped in his own bed... now he gets to lie in it.

His political career is over.

and picking a vice president (Joseph Biden) that I think is ready to be president

The Dhims didn't think so during the primaries, why is Biden acceptable now?

Colin Powell is a tool. By joining Obama’s camp, Powell has just shown his true colors (pun intended) to the American people. He and Obama deserve each other—they’re both just looking out for #1. On the plus side, I do so enjoy watching the left embrace Powell, whom they used to call a warmongering, civilian-killing Bush robot.

I sit stunned by all the praises of Powell by Republicans. Many seem to have forgotten how before he became Secretary of State under Bush, he said on TV that he could easily serve under Bush or Gore. I have felt from that moment that Poswell was for Powell—party nor policies mattered.

I thank him for his military service as I do all service people or vets, but as a person he doesn’t have my respect. He accomplished rank but I suspect race or fear of being thought racist has as much to do with all his praise compared to that of other races with the same rank.
