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.

For some sorry souls, it does. Here we honkies are trying to be so high minded that we could wear the Sears Tower as a hat. And the colored folks... it is to cry with shame. Would even Martin Luther King Jr. have eventually given into the temptation had he lived?

Statist orthodoxy masquerading as mushy moderation.

Not wanting to be called Uncle Tom trumps love of country.

Not that I care much, but I sense Powell realizes Obama is a failure. Even Powell doesn’t want to be seen “reaching out” to support a failure.

Besides, both guys running are pretty liberal. So hey, Colin, why not pick the NEW liberal?

Colon is such a pathetic liar, and he thinks it makes him look clever.

He demonstrated the first time that race trumps all. He has not changed.

No one gives two sh*ts what you think, Powell. Go away already...you had your moment in the sun. You don’t matter anymore.

The ONLY reason Powell went for Obama was because of race

Exactly. If that'd been some pasty old dried-up lib like Tom Harkin (who is actually to the political right of Obama), Powell wouldn't have given him a second look. It was ALL about skin color.

Given he openly supported Fauxbama last time, and he is personally the reason we had to have a second Iraq war.. things that come out of his mouth are effectively worthless.

Irritable Bowel, the second worst Black to ever serve in government. Oops, maybe the third, there’s Eric Holder “holding down” second place.

Only a fool would care what Colin Powell thinks about anything. He is the “man” who has so little character he let Scooter Libby twist in the wind when he knew the truth of who had leaked. What a worthless scumbag. Another of histories most overrated individuals, and you can tell him I said so!n

- I watched Colin Powell attempt to blow smoke up Sean Hannity the other day - Changing the subject and earning his well-laundered paycheck - expect another book soon......

My observation is that like Barack Hussein Obama II, Powell is just another stealth Muslim pretending to be a Christian by playing the creepy role of an "above it all" non-partisan post-political statesman; furthermore I would say that he is basically a lobbyist for the radical Muslim Brotherhood and is simply an older, slimier, and slicker version of Obama and his far-left Black Socialism.

I recall several years back on TV that Colin Powell stood in front of his own exotic collection of rare and expensive firearms while he drawled out his mealy-mouthed crap about the dire need to limit American citizens ownership of, access to, and use of firearms.

Colin Powell is Oprah Winfrey wearing men's clothing.

I agree completely with your post. Powell is looking for relevance and for the candidates to come “romance” him. The Romney campaign should ignore this overrated creature.
