(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.”

meyer: “Obambi’s a useless, braindead, inexperienced, dunce, anti-American, communist, POS, socialist, marxist, fascist, scrawny, unemployable street punk with a law degree.”

OBAMA: “I am not scrawny.”

Gee whiz, lofty words from Retired General Douche Bag.

He votes for Obama because he and Obama are both Black, and we're supposed to take his opinion seriously?

As for me, I will never forgive him for convincing President G.W. Bush from destroying the entire Iraqi Military machine because he thought it made the USA look bad when they wiped out the retreating forces coming out of Kuwait. It just proved that Bush 41 lost his edge as well.

I’ll say it once again... I wish Colin Powell would go ahead and register as a Democrat. Just get it over with.

I’m sure he said the same thing about Bush. Powell just gets more and more stupid. Makes me wonder what anyone in this country ever saw in him.

Good idea, I like it....I will never let the UnAmerican Democrat party forget what they have done, nor will my children or grandchildren.

"..Old soldiers never die, they just fade away."

Mac my have had it right, but he wasn't talking about this cat.
No this guy was never much of a soldier so he's not going to fade away. I hope he gets the courage to show up at a Republican Event. He will be ruthlessly booed! I wonder if he can muster up the courage. Courage is not this guys forte so I don't think he's be at a tea party or even at a major Republican Event. The guy is a SNAKE.

It's not like we didn't already know that Powell was just another lib. We always knew.

Obama was required by Goldwater-Nichols to submit a National Security Strategy by July 2009. None has been submitted nor published.

Just putting that out there.

Again.

said the Republican, who... said he doesn't regret voting for Obama in 2008.

One cannot vote for O, not regret it, and claim an R.

“This is a calling I do not yet hear,” Powell said in the run-ups to the 2000 election cycle.

Yeah? Well who’s calling you now, you blowhard?

Since he is so clearly bent on the absolute distruction of our free republic, Tarleton's quarter would be good for starters.

Ah yes, Banastre Tarleton (1754-1833). As you will know but for others, his actions at Waxhaw Creek gained him the name of "Bloody Ban". It was said the Americans took revenge at Kings Mountain SC on the defeat of British Col. Patrick Ferguson. I have visited the battlefield twice. Very impressive and Ferguson, though an enemy, has a monument.

I was surprised to learn the revolutionary forces let the begger (Tarleton) back to England on parole. He capitulated at Gloucester Point VA. A little off topic but one could go with "remember the Goliad, remember the Alamo".

One has to agree one cannot win with fair play all the time. Look what happened to Dan Quail. (Chuckle).

Tell that to zero, the most partisan hack around
