Former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich reacted this morning to Colin Powell's endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., arguing, "What that just did in one sound bite... is it eliminated the experience argument."

Powell, the former secretary of state, announced his long-awaited endorsement Sunday morning, explaining that he is backing Obama "because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of this campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities – we have to take that into account – as well as his substance – he has both style and substance – he has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president."

In all-star roundtable edition of "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," former presidential adviser David Gergen categorized Powell's announcement as "the most important endorsement of the campaign so far."

Heck, drop it. Most sheeple don’t even know who Powell is.

Really, I mean it.

[woofie]

bs

[right way right]

Can’t wait to tell the Libtards I work with that their guy just got the nod from NEWT GINGRICH!

[fightinJAG]

How did this eliminate the experience argument?

Are we all Powell’s mind-numbed robots?

I don’t think so.

This eliminates Powell. That is all.

Ah. Interesting deduction.

If only John McCain could get Hannah Montana to endorse him that would eliminate the crotchety old man argument.

[Reily]

To all

A great example as to why Newt is not longer a serious player in the political arena.

[rintense]

How in the hell does this eliminate the experience argument? Powell says Obama will surround himself with experienced people, and then turns around and trashes Palin for not having enough experience? That doesn't make any damn sense.

I repeat, do not be surprised if Newt ends up in Obama's administration.

[LucyJo]

Remember...he said he got “weak in the knees” around Bill Clinton when Clinton was President and Newt was Speaker.

Boggles the mind how someone so smart could do, and say, such foolish things.

Obama is not ‘reaching out’ across America

No, I don't think Joe the Plumber is feeling especially reached out to and included about now. They must have classes in Washington on how to spew this drivel.

[A2J]

Newt knows nothing. He's the same guy who has morphed from conservative to a pseudo-conservationist, believing in global warming and getting the warm and fuzzies with libs.

Newt needs to shut up.

[teletech]

With Powell this was strictly a black thang. Wonder which post obama promised Powell.

[Verginius Rufus]

Joe Lieberman appears with McCain at some of his campaign stops.

[Tom the Redhunter]

Thanks, Powell, We needed that right about now.

Sigh.

[ari-freedom]

yes, powell no longer has the experience or judgment to be president.

I know Newt's not stupid so I can only assume he was drunk when he said this.
