Colin Powell undecided on Obama or Romney endorsement [VIDEO]

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election, told The Daily Caller that he will be “listening” to both GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney and President Obama before making any “judgments” on their foreign policies.

“I’m not going to do politics tonight, and I will be watching both Mr. Romney and President Obama and see what judgments I come to as a result of listening to them, but that’s not tonight,” he told TheDC at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. “Tonight is entertainment and fun.” In September 2010 Powell said he thought President Obama was a “transformational figure,” but stopped short of endorsing him for re-election.

Do any Freepers care what Colon Bowell thinks? The comments at the link are pretty funny.

Colin Powell is a natural Democrat. The only reason he was registered Republican those years in the military and public service was personal career advancement. He was a uniformed version of Arlen Spector.

Who gives a rats patootie whut he thinks? He jumped on the Obamessiah’s wagon in ‘08 simply because of race.

With decisioning such as this, I am glad Powell wasn't the the guy in charge of the Persian Gulf War. Go Schwarzkopf

This might be a signal of less enthusiasm than in 2008. I find it curious this former diplomat broke protocol and used "Mr. Romney" rather than "Gov. Romney." I take that as a signal that he's leaning towards Obama. Again.

Listening to them? Talk is cheap, General, how about judging from their actions?

Maybe if Romney turns Black all of a sudden ....

The ONLY reason Powell went for Obama, was because of race. That’s all Obama had to offer. No experience, more abstainance from voting than voting, and a mouth that promised things that he had no clue on how to deliver.

Powell would have spent his military career as a mess cook except for affirmative action.

He’s not content with the damage he did to the country as Secretary of State in the Bush administration.

Dubya might have trusted him but I never did and he has proved me right.

Maybe. But in Colin Bowel's word, tribalism trumps ideology every time.

Well he didn’t support Newt and his mo is not doing the right thing for America anyway - now he is in his glory - he has two liberals to pick from.

Like there’s any doubt who he’ll vote for. (Or is it whom?)

Colon Foul has been dead to me after endorsed OFudgePackula in 2008. His opinion is not worth a cup of spit.

All you need to know about Powell is what David Hackworth thought of him. Perfumed prince. A natural Democrat.

” Do any Freepers care what Colon Bowell thinks? “

Only to the extent that it’s interesting (and a bit humorous) that the consummate ‘Washington Insider With a Uniform’ can’t find enough difference between ‘em to make a choice...

Powell is hoping to stay relevant by making us hang on his eventual endorsement. He helped bring in the pestilence. I would hope he knows that and admits today that his support of 0 was a catastrophic error.
