The real story is Kristol floating rumors, where the rumors came from, and why they where floated.

Can we now say “Powell disses messiah. Black revolt likely.”

[FlingWingFlyer]

Whoa! You tell 'em General Powell!!!

If the Commie 'RATS need "Republicans" to speak for them, they can give Moe Chafee, Larry Leach and Curley Hauser the time. Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!

"He doesn't have experience at the senior levels of national government. But I've seen other individuals who have come along that didn't have that breadth of experience," said the former top official under President George W. Bush.

I am not sure this counts a a strong attack against Senator Obama's level of experience.

[Pappy Smear]

Could McCain be possibly tabbing Powell for his VP pick? And someone on the D side heard about it, and was trying to float rumors that Powell was going to endorse Barry Hussein just to trump, or at least soil the thought of McCain picking Powell?

A McCain/Powell ticket would be hard to beat. Not my cup of tea, but would be a solid ticket nationally.

The complete quote is:

"Rebuffing a key line of attack by Obama's critics, Powell told ABC in April: "He didn't have a lot of experience in running a presidential campaign, did he? But he seems to know how to organize the task.

"He doesn't have experience at the senior levels of national government. But I've seen other individuals who have come along that didn't have that breadth of experience," said the former top official under President George W. Bush. "

There is plenty of room to endorse Obama. What he denies specifically is that he will go to either convention.

You need to work on your reading comprehension, if this statement is all that you are going on to say that Powell has disparaged Obama's experience. This article says that the reference to Obama's lack of "experience at the senior levels of national government" came in the context of Powell REBUFFING attacks on Obama's lack of experience. Powell first compliments Obama on how well he ran his primary campaign despite lack of national campaign experience, and then says high-level federal experience is not necessarily a prerequisite for being President. You are twisting Powell's point 180 degrees to make him say the opposite of what the article says he said.

"Rebuffing a key line of attack by Obama's critics, Powell told ABC in April: "He didn't have a lot of experience in running a presidential campaign, did he? But he seems to know how to organize the task. "He doesn't have experience at the senior levels of national government. But I've seen other individuals who have come along that didn't have that breadth of experience," said the former top official under President George W. Bush.

Kristol also said that Lieberman was going to be McCain’s Veep. I hope he is wrong on that as well!

Krafty Kristol Kills Konvention Kontroversy

[giobruno]

Right answer, like him or not, he does not have any meaningful experience running anything to be president.

[counterpunch]

Bill Kristol, the brains behind Dan Quayle, is now persona non grata.

Really,I take back what I was going to say :)

"The real story is Kristol floating rumors, where the rumors came from, and why they where floated."

It's Kristol forcing a major black leader to distance himself from Obama....
