(Newser) It's time to get past the incessant partisan potshots being taken at President Obama and forge some progress, Colin Powell told Face the Nation today.
"I dont think the country will be well served if the next three years are attempts to bring him down and destroy him as a political figure," said the Republican, who added that "Americans will want to see some progress" and said he doesn't regret voting for Obama in 2008.
Powell also dismissed Dick Cheney's suggestions that the country was less safe under Obama as bunk: "To suggest that somehow weve become much less safe because of the administration isnt born out by the facts.

When I read that wording from Communist Party USA, it reminded me of the new name for Operation Iraqi Freedom beginning in September.
"The U.S. military mission in Iraq will soon be getting a name change. As of Sept. 1, "Operation Iraqi Freedom" becomes "Operation New Dawn."
Precisely!
Where was his voice when W was mercilessly being attack by his butt boys?!!! Not once did I hear him come to W’s defense...SO SCREW YOU!
Bravo to Roses of Sharon’s #25! Well said and everything spot on! Bravo!
go play golf
And ‘who’ is it he thinks should lay off?
Obviously conservatives?
Where does this racist get off telling us this?
Is he deluded enough to think we... aaaahh. Yes, he is deluded enough. Or maybe syphilitic enough.
Get off and stay off the air, dirtbag. You don’t care about NATSEC. You care only about PowellSEC. And BlackSEC.
Kiss my ass....
Is/Was Powell always a Communist apparently? He seems to permanently act against US interests.
"I dont think the country will be well served if the next three years are attempts to bring him down and destroy him as a political figure," said the Republican, who added that "Americans will want to see some progress" and said he doesn't regret voting for Obama in 2008.
What a stupid dumb ass Colin Powell is.... Hey Colon, as opposed to the demoRATs & media that spend 2000-2008 doing every thing they could to bring down GW Bush & destroy him? What a stupid POS you are!
PILE ON NOW!
Or does he mean LAY OBAMA OFF.
But .. the general didn’t think it was important to lay off of Bush .. while he was betraying him, and while the general knew it was his own staff member who had leaked the information.
I never trusted the general, and I was unhappy when Bush appointed him. I remember how he bristled at Cheney during Desert Storm.
He just wants us to shut up because it’s a constant reminder that he voted for a black man who’s a joke of a president, and now he’s feeling guilty about it and he’s tired of being reminded.
And this from a guy who said, more or less, ‘well, I really don’t support him but I can’t not be a part of supporting this historic ballot.’
He really said that, or words to that effect.
First of all, Powell has never been a Republican. He is a whore. Second, the country won't be well served if we let Obama get what he wants, Powell, YOU IDIOT!
I will do my best to see that Obama fails and fails BIG TIME! Now go crawl back into your hole, Powell, you racist jerk.
True colors showing through and through.
We will all be better off as soon as he is “laid off” and unemployed.
"Lay off President Obama! Leave him alone! He is trying to accomplish the most difficult job in the world, and he is trying to do it WHILE BEING a LIGHT SKINNED BLACK MAN!! That is a very serious job. You all have no idea how hard it is for him! We must all come together and support his hard work and his pale cafe au lait skin!! NOW!"
Sidenote:
...and Colin Powell, (who accepted a Jaguar, or rather his wife did, from an appreciative friend, Prince Bandar)...
from an interesting essay...here...
