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.”
