WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is declining to renew the endorsement he gave Barack Obama four years ago, when he called Mr. Obama “a transformational figure.”
...
Mr. Powell called presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney a viable candidate and said he’s “still listening” to Republican proposals. Mr. Powell, who served under President George W. Bush, also said, “I don’t want to throw my weight behind someone” at this point in the campaign.

Powell showed his true colors last election. Skin color is more important to him that any thing else.
If we can rely on his personal record with this kind of stuff, he will shilly-shally to the bitter end, then support the sure favorite!
Routinely displaying such spineless and irresolute political values renders you irrelevant and truly laughable. If he had any political capital to spend, it is worthless by now.
Don’t be so sure that Powell will endorse Obama
Romney may do what he did in 94 in Mass when running against Teddy
If Mitt thinks he can get the support of dissatisfied democrats by going left he will and that may be enough for Powell
This will go on until his next appearance on Meet the Press.
Powell playing cute - waiting to see what Obama will promise him in return for an endorsement.
Colin Powell is a pathetic, weakling, has been. How he ever got to be a General is beyond me. Oh wait he’s black.
I’ll bet Mitt is losing a lot of sleep waiting for that endorsement.
This shows that his FBI files must be filled with little tidbits and that in order to "get along" so that his family can feed at the federal trough he needs to make himself this dancing clown and minstrel for the democrat/african american power brokers.
Just look at this. Can you even imagine a SECRETARY OF STATE!! acting like a dancing clown?? A 4-STAR GENERAL!!!! carrying on like a fool. A dancing little fool.
I'd like Colin to support Obama and be done with it. Who cares what this affirmative action, box checking REMF supports or doesn't support? I'm more interested in what Kanye thinks? hahahhaha. Dance fool, dance for your money...... dance like the little man you are. Pathetic.
Wasn’t this scumbag Powell supposed to “fade away” like a real soldier?
Rush would have had a field day with the titular head of the Republican party. Sadly we get Mark Doofus instead.
Maybe he’ll endorse Bammy after he declares he favors gay marriage and gays in the military showers.
Oh, wait. . . . .
“Still listening to Republican proposals”
Mr. Secretary General has an outsized view of his own importance.
Screw off, Powell, because you don’t matter anymore. Besides, we know who you’re going to support. So quit the charade, because we’re not fooled.
The real question is not who Colin Powell will support, the real question is how Powell is adjusting to the Depends he now wears.
Go sh*t in your hat, Mr. powell.
What happened, Colin? Did Obama suddenly change colors?
Doesn’t matter now. Pottery Barn rules.
It’s not like you (CP) get a do-over, a fresh second chance.
He's also clearly not smart enough to admit he made a mistake in 2008.
Brutha’ Powell been hittin’ that jug o’ Ripple befoh lunch agin’!
Fifty bucks to the The Salvation Army sez that in the end Powell will fold and endorse The One again.....or he’ll not endorse ANYBODY! He’s not about to say anything AGAINST Zero!
And yes, Tucker39, he won't say ANYTHING against his “brutha”; you can be sure of that
To all of you: Powell is a racist POS. He is an embarrassment to the uniform he wore.
