Powell revealed his true colors. (pun intended.) Then he forgets Frankenstein’s Law: You make the monster – you live with the monster. Oh, and imho, I wouldn’t go mistaking Powell for Hannibal, Stonewall Jackson, or George Patton either.

I am with you, I watched Powell’s presentation to the UN and I just knew that he was lying , plus while claiming to have overwhelming evidence of WMD’s he presented no tangible evidence. I was surprised when the media and so many of our idiot politicians claimed that his speech pushed them over the edge in terms of supporting the war.
I would never trust or respect Powell and he would never get my vote. The fact that Obama courted and accepted his endorsment after critcising Hilary for voting for the war speaks volumes about Obama’s hypocrisy and lack of substance.

Powell is an empty suit just like BOTHead. Powell should take Hilary’s place when she bails out. I’m waiting for Hilary to say enough is enough.

Powell was always a political general the kind we had in Vietnam……useless.

I know, instead we got Biden which I think proves Obama’s lack of judgement and reasoning. Biden is a walking gaffe (and has been known so for years) so choosing him reflects negatively on Obama.

Sometimes it irks me even writing this stuff up, but frankly, after the abuse people who refused to get on Pr. Obama’s bandwagon took last year and beyond, I think it’s important to make note of the hypocricy and about-faces all these people are doing now.

Thanks for being here, TWK.

I lost any respect I had for Powell when he endorsed Obama. Berated Hillary. I could care less what he’s saying now. Now is a little too late, he should have done his homework.

I’m also starting to loose any respect I once had for McCain. He would never have gotten as many votes as he did if it weren’t for Sarah.

The UN performance lost Powell to me. I had held him in reasonable esteem up to that point.

Still Ani, you will see more and more people looking for the exits post haste.

Thanks Ani, for a look into the kaleidoscope of hypocrisy.

Forget Obama’s promises. Powell was part of the Bush II admin that recklessly ran up the deficit. Remember, Powell, Dick Cheney’s “Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter? I trust you do – you were in the cabinet at the time.

I’ve heard this song before. Reagan/Bush I ran up the deficit. When Clinton was elected, suddenly the deficit was the biggest matter evah and had to come down. So Clinton did the work and the deficit came down. Bush II took office, blew the fiscal discipline on tax breaks for his buddies, and ran the deficit sky high. Not a peep from the “fiscal conservatives.”

Dem in office – it’s Deficit! Deficit! Deficit! all over again. Powell gets credit for supporting the Greatest Candidate Evah! And now gets to shill for his not-so-fiscally responsible party.

BTW, this is no defense of Obama. You can have situations where both parties are in the wrong.

I found out that as Secretary of State he was the one who opened the door for the UN to come in and oversee our elections. Some black people approached him and he went along with them. In my mind they knew that Obama was being groomed by his handlers to run. When I found that information I knew that he would back Obama.

Colin Powell had a little bit of integrity and credibility at one time, but he was forced by Bush to spend, actually sacrifice, that political capital in front of the UN with his little vial of faux-anthrax and lies about proof that Saddam Hussein was exporting weapons of mass destruction. When no WMD were found, his reputation went down the crapper.

He completely blew whatever was left with his race-based endorsement of Obama. Nobody in their right minds thought it was anything but an attempt to lend credibility to the neophyte senator from Chicago based on a shared racial identification.

Powell was a career general who got promoted based on his service in the Persian Gulf War under GHW Bush. Every promotion he got beyond that was due to Republican tokenism. He was never anything special, and he’s nothing but a joke now.
