(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 don’t 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 we’ve become much less safe because of the administration isn’t born out by the facts.”

Greetings YHAOS:

Hey Polly, Are you sure Powell didn't mean "borne"?

Great catch, LOL!

Cheers,

Anyone who voted for Obama and doesn't regret it is not a conservative and is, in fact, and IDIOT!

What you said.

Hear, hear!

What part of HELL NO do these people not get?

Obambi could save his own butt tomorrow by giving up his Marxist ideology, moderating to the center, then sitting down and shutting up except for cutting ribbons and kissing babies for the next three years.

We have no choice but to try to stop his communist agenda, including by “destroying” him as a political figure.

General Powell, you know very well that it takes overwhelming (in this case, political) force to be victorious, and We The People intend to be victorious over socialism, communism, Marxism and whatever other -ism Obambi tries to subject our country to.

Mr. Powell. If your politics (and endorsements) were more than skin deep, I'd might just give a damn about your opinion.

But since it's not, please shut the hell up, stop whining and have another drink.

"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.’"

Shallow thinking unworthy of a high school sophomore.

It's him or us.

I wonder if Powell, like OBAMA, is also a product of AA?
