Does Colin Powell actually think that anyone will care about his endorsement in 2012?

To think that I used to think this man would have made a good president......

Since he rolled over and endorsed Obama in the last election I will bet that he will do the same in the next one.

To some skin color trumps all else.

"I will look at the needs of the country, the situation as I see it, and I will evaluate both candidates and see which one I think is best able to lead the country," Powell said.

"But I'll endorse Obama, anyway," he continued.

Not really.....but it's the most likely outcome.

Powell is a racist, pure and simple.

Powell identified himself as a Republican. A man Powell had a good relationship with, was running as the GOP candidate. Many if not most of BHO’s political positions did not agree with Powell’s supposed ideology.

Suddenly, *poof*, Powell supports BHO. Could it be for any other reason than skin color?

That is the textbook definition of racist.

The ever political Powell. The man that did a mea culpa to the WAPO a week before Desert Storm kicked off. “It wasn’t my idea”!!! What a total clymer. Also, no one seems to remember that he was the first investigating officer at My Lai and didn’t include the part of the Assistant Division Commander in a helicopter directing actions on the ground. Can you say, “I do what my betters want of me”? A total political animal. I still don’t understand what Reagan saw in him.

Powell is a racist. He supported Maobama only because of his skin color.

Let’s see: Powell’s first endorsement of a Democrat was Gov. Wilder and his second Pres. Obama. By “transformation,” I guess he refers to the color of a person’s skin. As things turned out, Gov. Wilder did a fine job, and Pres. Obama, thusfar, has been terrible. Looks like skin color isn’t a good predictor of performance. Maybe we should look at other factors, such as commitment to the Constitution, experience and personal integrity. Just supposin’.

Colin STFU and go away. Nobody cares who you endorse. You have zero credibility with anybody. Thats what happens when you betray your party. You were a crappy Secretary of State thats why Dubya pushed you aside. Get over it and go play golf on your undeserved military pension.

I thought that too, until I went to hear him speak after the Gulf war.

Total Rino. Pro affirmative action, etc.

Let’s face it. His apparent “appeal” was nothing more than the Republicans trotting out a token military black guy.

And we all wanted to believe, so we oculd prove we weren’t racist.

Same old, same old.

For that matter, is there any other reason Michael Steele is the head of the RNC?

“Obama should focus on governing”

And I should focus on brain surgery which I know nothing about.

Oh hell no! Powell is chained to Obama for life! We will not let him slink away! No separation, no divorce! You two light-skinned brothers work it out because Powell is no longer welcome on this side of town!

“Colin Powell is holding off on endorsing President Obama in the 2012 election, but said that he still views the president as a “transformational figure.””

Who?

And the world will hold its breath in giddy anticipation.
Who will Colin Powell endorse? Who? WHO??

Zero needs an endorsement? He’s really screwed things up then. Of all the former SOS’s, VP, Presidents, only Powell, who holds no current office, is heard.

In other words, “I’m going to get as much mileage for Obama as I can out of my eventual endorsement of him.”
