“He has energized a lot of people around the world. And so I think he is worth listening to and seeing what he stands for.”

A Van Halen album may be worth listening to, but that doesn't mean I want David Lee Roth for President!

You mean McCain?

Just like Ann Coulter.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

He’s angling for a job in the Hillary/Obama administration. He would fit in perfectly with that bunch of pacifists.

[Perdogg]

I am sure the Hillary camp may try to get him to be her running mate.

[Jim Robinson]

If I remember right, Colin Powell had trouble figuring out if he was a Democrat or Republican. Guess he’s now coming out of the closet. From RINO to RAT.

[jaz.357]

Figgers.

[marron]

That would be a masterful move.

I at one time thought she and Obama would be a team, but there is probably too much bad blood now.

Powell would cover a lot of bases for her.

Apologies about the excerpting. I thought I put “excerpt” at the top, but I may have forgotten for this particular post.

Mr. Powell sucked as Secretary of State. He and the CIA were behind Plamegate. For that I will never forget nor forgive. He did this country irreparable harm. It would not surprise me that this man would support Obama.

Here is some information that Mr. Powell is aware of but does not seem to bother him about his beloved Obama.

This needs to be bookmarked. It is THAT interesting. Info relating to Obama has been scrubbed, as usual with Obama.

This is juicy!

“The donation is significant, for some believe Barack Obama may be one of the unnamed “Illinois government officials” mentioned in the following ABC News report on the FBI affidavit filed in US Attorney Fitzgerald’s case against Rezko before Obama’s political godfather was arrested on Monday:

According to an FBI affidavit filed in the case, Rezko sought to get a visa for Auchi to visit the United States by contacting “certain Illinois government officials.”

Rezko sought the visa on behalf of his friend in 2004, and Rezko helped Obama finance the real estate transaction involving his Kenwood mansion in 2005.

We also learn today that Auchi’s company has deleted information on two websites regarding Auchi’s visit to Illinois in 2004 upon hearing that rumors of a meeting between Auchi and Obama are circulating in the US.”

An Iraq power plant is even involved. The Feds are definitely investigating this.

Enjoy!

How would she explain how one of the architects of the Bush foreign policy team is now on her team?

[BallyBill]

He is also staying close to the phone.

Right, I really always check what Colin Powell is doing, he represents my thinking so closely. NOT

[bilhosty]

He may be the independent candidate in question. Several months ago I was polled by Rasmussen. The poll had a question on who I would support if the the third party candidate were Powell. since I did not see the results of this poll on line I would have to suspect that someone paid for it for their own use. They would not of paid all of that money if they did not have serious use for it, would they?

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

he was never one of us.

[outofstyle]

His fall back position is to support a Dem. His real goal is to be VP under McCain and thereby complete the capitulation to the Dems.

[TADSLOS]

[ScratInTheHat]

OK tell me why this is surprising?

Powell has always been just barely on the republican side anyway.

Old Generals never die … they just stick around, bloviate, and irritate the rest of us.
