Why is no one reporting what Powell said on "Meet The Press"?

"There’s going to be a crisis come along on the 21st, 22nd of January which we don't even know about right now." - Colin Powell’s appearance on “Meet the Press” Sunday morning, October 19, 2008

This very unsettling.

“...Everything bad that happens in an Obama administration will not be Bush’s fault.”

Bush may not have done everything right...but he got blamed for EVERYTHING....even acts of God like hurricanes and floods.

Impossible. It would have to be somebody's fault, and Democrats never take responsibility for their own actions, so who does that leave?

They are, however, really good about taking responsibility for the actions of others. Which is why we've been told constantly that everything good that happened in the last eight years was caused by Bill Clinton.

Deny responsibility when you have it, claim responsibility when you don't, it's on page three of the WLW Conspiracy playbook.

...Obama said the key reason the next president will face such threats is because of the damaging policies of the past eight years...

Sure, we could have capitulated and paid the dhimmi tax - and all would've been hunky-dorey...I, for one, am pleased that evil President Bush pursued his damaging policies to destroy our enemies (i.e., to 'be a terror to those that would do evil'). And yes, I suppose an unhappy outcome of this policy is that it has cheesed off our enemies (and their sycophants)...
Now if Mr. Obama was referring to President Bush's 'damaging policies' of lackadaisical border control, and increasing the bloat of our government -- I suppose we'd be in agreement, but I don't think the enlightened one considers this to be damage (and although I criticize President Bush on these points, he was a heckuva lot better than the alternatives)...

Whatever it is, it is a “hidden agenda” that has not been discussed as Obama plays at being a moderate.

The America Public should not be hit with buyer's remorse a week after he is sworn in.

Bill Clinton's first action (which had not been discussed in the campaign) was “Don't ask, don't tell”, another early agenda item was nationalized health care.

They cannot win in the arena of ideas. If we are to “Accept change”, then we should be discussing just what that change will entail.

Uh huh. I’m sure when OBiden bin Hidin drew the comparison between a “brilliant 47-year old man” and John Kennedy, he meant that to apply equally to...John McCain.

I wish I could wake up from the nightmare of this sideshow freak and his whole carnival of MSM circus geeks biting the heads off rodents.

I disagree with everyone sorry.

China will invade Taiwan, with Obama’s approval.

Iran and others will destroy Israel, with Obama’s approval.

Russia (fellow Red Travelers) will attack Poland and other upstarts regaining the USSR, with Obama’s approval.

Why do you think Japan and South Korea are so afraid? Obama will side with Communists against free countries.

THAT is the plan. THAT is why Biden is warning us about unpopular decisions.

THEIR PLANS FOR US HORRIBLE AND UNTHINKABLE!!

“Rhetorical flourishes”? Is that like “wardrobe malfunction” except in this case Biden showed his a$$?

Lord, would someone PLEASE get this man a dictionary??!! First off, 0bama, the fact that America exists in this world and whoever is president must deal with international issues/crises during his term is NOT the same thing as warning us of a generated crisis within the first six months of a new administration. Secondly:

"Now was John McCain a socialist back in 2000 when he opposed the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans?" Obama said. "It's not a very plausible argument that he's making right now, and I think it's an indication now that they have run out of ideas."

No, Mr. Oh-so-intellectual, let me help you out:

Random House Unabridged Dictionary: socialism

Sheesh.

This very unsettling.

What is unsettling to me, is, Powell seems to know about it, yet disclaims knowing about it.

I understand the Government has secrets it must keep, but if the USA has been threatened in a specific manner as indicated by powell, biden, and other "Government need-to-knows", then it is about time We the People were told.

After reading the way Fox wrote this, I can’t for the life of me see how anyone can believe that Fox is in the tank for Obama; they dressed up each of his actual quotes with the language he should have used much the same way a long-suffering editor will clean up the awkward phrasing of a first book with a wildly popular sports figure.

Here’s a candidate with a 2 to one or greater advantage in his advertising budget and he doesn’t have to spend a sou on the major media and he’s begging for a chance to get his message out?

Its benefiting McCain. The Democrats just made foreign policy an issue in the last two weeks of the campaign and it reminds voters that Obama is completely untested in this area. We don't know how he would deal with America's adversaries or make America secure in a dangerous world.

" What are the democrats planning? "

I think they'll try to nationalize some popular financial institutions. Just a hunch.
