Add Colin Powell to the ranks of Americans waking up from the Obama induced stupor. The Washington Times is reporting that Mr. Powell has voiced serious reservations in a CNN interview about Obama’s big government agenda and its consequences for our nation and our children.
In the CNN interview to be aired Sunday on “State of the Union with John King” Powell cautioned Mr. Obama about "budgets that are running into the multi-trillions of dollars" and "a huge, huge national debt that, if we don't pay for in our lifetime, our kids and grandkids and great-grandchildren will have to pay for it."
Haven’t conservatives been issuing these same warnings ever since Obama began his presidential campaign? It seems rather disingenuous for Mr. Powell, an early Obama supporter, to suddenly have this epiphany after a mountain of economic evidence has portended the frightening consequences of President Obama’s budget.
Maybe it’s Powell’s way of distancing himself from the Democrats after Obama’s truly outrageous handling of recent events in Honduras and in Iran.
Remember about a month ago when Newsweek’s Evan Thomas gushed:
"I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."
I guess even Colin Powell assumes that God would be able to balance a budget.
Too late to change now!
I donn’t give a damn about what Powell has to say now. He made his choice when he backed Hussein and now he can live with the ramifications. Screw him.
Asswipe Powell must be thinking he’s gonna run for some office. Democrats won’t take a turncoat, so he thinks he can fool the RINOs and idiots, again.....
The lil general must want to run for President now.
Yeah! Who does Obama think he is; a Command Sergeant Major.
He can jump ship if he wants to — but if he tries to climb over the side and onto my ship, I think I’ll whip out a cutlass and prepare to repel boarders!
Powell’s endorsement of Obama was based on skin color and emotion. Now he looks like the fool he is.
Stay Powell you ding bat!
I can’t believe someone like YOU DID NOT LISTEN TO WHAT THIS MAN WAS SAYING.
STAY WHERE YOU ARE!
Obama has to go before America goes.
This is what happens when someone has no principals to stand on.
No one should follow or listen to Colin Powell. He is no leader. He is unworthy.
Man Overboard! Full Speed Ahead!
Ah, Colin’s just a big intestine full of gas. Who cares what he thinks (IF he thinks).
Keel Haul him for jumpin’.
Hope and change you weasel racist Colon.
“Powell’s endorsement of Obama was based on skin color and emotion. Now he looks like the fool he is.”
You hit the nail on the head...Powell looks like a fool for basing him endorsement soley on race and emotion. He’s probably scared to death of getting this pocket picked.
I wouldn't trust that bureaucrat with anything.
Powell exemplifies those who voted for Barry who are not willing to come out and admit that “this is not the change I/we voted for.” Instead, they question aspects of what Barry, the Media, and the White House pump staff have repeatedly touted as “your getting what you voted for...we won.”
