Colin Powell undecided on Obama or Romney endorsement [VIDEO]

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election, told The Daily Caller that he will be “listening” to both GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney and President Obama before making any “judgments” on their foreign policies.

“I’m not going to do politics tonight, and I will be watching both Mr. Romney and President Obama and see what judgments I come to as a result of listening to them, but that’s not tonight,” he told TheDC at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. “Tonight is entertainment and fun.” In September 2010 Powell said he thought President Obama was a “transformational figure,” but stopped short of endorsing him for re-election.

There is no mystery. Powell will choose race over ideology and everyone knows it.

I can't believe I once admired the man.

You assume Colon is a rational, intelligent being. He is not.

I am 100% certain that Colon will endorse Obama. He doesn't want to say now because it keeps the MSM asking him the question, keeping him in the news.

No, I don’t care what Colin Powell thinks other than his indecision proves that there is no difference between the kenyan and Romney.

Colin Powell has reinforced my belief in my own intuition. My first impression was disbelief in the man, I later thought I must be mistaken as so many thought he was great. Sadly I have relearned the lesson of paying attention to gut instinct and it makes me mad to have paid so little attention to myself! (This all probably makes no sense whatsoever, but I feel better for having said it.)

Race trumps everything else. He will try to appear statesmanlike on the outside, but on the inside he’ll be shaking the pom poms for Obama. I know dozens of black people, yet only a handful who don’t support Obama.

Go with your color, General. That’s all that really matters. Everything else is just talk and spin.

Like it or not, “staying home” or “not voting for the Republican nominee” is a good way to get O”Bummer another term. Ross Perot screwed Bush Sr., didn’t we learn anything?

The Affirmative Action General will decide based on melanin content, and that alone.

Race trumps everything, apparently. Even common sense.

“Colin Powell undecided on Obama or Romney endorsement”

If this is supposed to be “news”, spare us.
We know who Mr. Powell will eventually vote for.

How many have the long memories to remember when a large contingent of folks here were touting him for president? Perhaps the same ones who long for Condoleeza Rice as vice president? Or Marco Rubio?

What have we learned?

Don’t forget the Michael Steele devotees, and the current worship of Congressional Black Caucus member, Alan West.

1. Powell is trying to remain relevant by pretending to be undecided.

2. There is zero doubt in my mind racist Powell will vote for and endorse Obama.

Shark jump 2008.
