(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.”

On the contrary Powell, the country will be best served if this faker and liar is destroyed as a political figure.

“We must create doubt. Question his judgment. Support his opponents. Ridicule his errors. Mitigate his successes with suggestion of unintended consequences. Refuse to praise his work. Challenge his advocates when they advocate; don’t let them own the conversation.”
***

Agreed!

Anyone who voted for Obama and does not regret it is not sentient.

Buddy, Obama is doing a grand enough job of it himself, all on his own.

How Powell ever fell for this pretentious windbag is beyond me. Powell simply disgusts me. Talk about doubling down. Powell is redoubling his efforts after realizing what a total nonentity Obozo is.

“There is nothing easier than telling the guy you just beat that he should forget the depths you plumbed to do so. We remember “Jesusland”. And if you have a few hours, scroll through Malkin’s “Bush Derangement Syndrome” archive. We remember everything - being called racist warmongers, & Christianist nutbags.”

I’m with you. Perhaps we could borrow the Quebecois motto “Je me souviens” which roughly translates as “I remember” but has a much deeper meaning to the Quebecois, maybe more like “I will never forget.”

Absolutely. America’s success is tied to 0’s failure and in the bigger picture, Rinos like Powell and McCain need to be shown the door to obscurity.

As long as his actions are un-American, anti-American, of questionable Constitutional validity, and as long as he conceals his true identity and youth...yes, I am going to oppose him at every turn. I will not “lay up off” him at all.

Two heroic woman who saved America from two monumentally disastrous Presidencies:

1. Mary Jo Kopechne
2. Mrs. Colin Powell.

At first glance, I thought he said “layoff”. I’m all for that....

Same here. Thought Powell may have had a moment of clarity - but no such luck.
