Well maybe you shouldn’t have supported him just because he is Black, Powell.

Powell is almost free enough from the black lib template to have a clue but he can’t quite cut himself loose. And, being on the wrong side of 70, it’s doubtful that he ever will.

Powell finally opened his gift from Barry. It’s a bag of crap...

This guy makes me sick. He votes for Obummer, because of the color of his skin and forsakes any principles he has ever had.

Thanks for nothing jerk!

The problem for us is that as Freepers we are surrounded by some of the sharpest folks on the web. We see someone like Powell as a dweeb because to us he just doesn’t measure up. The general public, however, sees him as a wise man struggling within himself with all these horrible problems, like my race vs. my country and my race vs. common sense. Things he should have sorted out years ago.

"And we can't pay for it all," said Mr. Powell

Kind of simple math and it took him how long to get the answer?

“molan labe” More or less it means “come and take it” (if you can). It is a famous quote from Greek History, look up the story if you are interested.

Both colin powell and bill o’reilly share some blame in the election of Dear Leader. When O’Reilly had that interview with o’vomit and then said he thought that he had at heart “the best interests of the country,” O’reilly probably swayed some undecideds. Coupled with powell’s (obviously racist) support, obama likely got the necessary middle of the road, undecideds.

That’s why when O’reilly rails against obama it just makes me think “hypocrite.”

I’m not talking metaphysical. I mean truly sold his ancestors.

Oh, I know that. Slavery was apparently a flourishing institution in Africa, and still is, by some accounts.

Powell has shown himself to be a very stupid man who is unable to see past skin color in order to judge character. obama lied blatantly through out the campaign, but few if any conservatives or non-rino Republicans were fooled by his campaign rhetoric as Powell clearly was and still is. He still supports obama. How very affirmative action of him.

Powell deserves a demotion to Captain Obvious.
