Former secretary of state (under George Bush) Colin Powell changed parties last year to throw his full support behind Barack Obama’s campaign for president.
Powell was a staunch Obama supporter, frequently appearing on left leaning news programs to help push Obama’s socialist agenda. Along the way to the White House, Obama and his camp served Kool Aid on ice to the fawning multitudes and pulled the wool over their supporters eyes.
But now Powell can see clearly, and he is expressing growing doubts about Obama’s ability to lead this country.
“I’m concerned at the number of programs that are being presented, the bills associated with these programs and the additional government that will be needed to execute them,” Mr. Powell said in an excerpt of an interview with CNN’s John King that aired over the weekend.
Powell expressed his concerns about Obama’s reckless spending amid rumors that another wasteful stimulus bill is in the works.
“One of the cautions that has to be given to the president — and I’ve talked to some of his people about this — is that you can’t have so many things on the table that you can’t absorb it all. And we can’t pay for it all.”
zzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
While I do recall Colin Powell endoring President Barack Obama for the Presidency, I don’t remember him switching parties. It is possible that I missed that bit of news. Kindly post additional information on that. I’ll drink my Kool-Aid while I wait.
I respect Colon Powell. He should’ve tried to run for president.
I can’t even comment on anything Powell has to say (SMH)…
Actually Auntie, Powell is very much a Republican. He just stupidly thought that Obama was qualified for the job.
He now knows different.
Oh well, better late than never Colin. If people would have actually looked at Obama’s record (or lack thereof) instead of listening to his pretty words than they would see that Obama is doing nothing out of the ordinary. He has always had a far-left, destructive agenda since his days as a community organizer in Chicago.
It’s amazing that people have been blind for so long.
Ok, so now what do we do, boycott to have Obama remove from office because he doesn’t have the experience. Are you’ll going to live like this for the next 3 years talking about what this man can’t do, you will be worn out, it’s such a waste of time, all I can tell you’ll to do is trust GOD he is the one who hold’s your tomorrow not the republicans or democrats.

Obama counted on our people being more dazzled by his looks than his substance. That’s the problem with our community. It’s also the reason why over 60% of our women are single mothers.
There is nothing harder than being a black republican
Powell did NOT say Obama was NOT qualified that is only you Auntie still living in la la land. He is beyond qualified.
I respect Powell and I agree with his assesments but the country is a mess and he is trying to fix it all and he needs to pace himself.
How boring…
