American hero Colin Powell is expected to endorse Barack Obama shortly. His endorsement will be a repudiation of Bush(ElDouche)'s conduct of two wars, Afghanistan and Iraq, AND the final nail in McSame and Sancho Panza's run.

This news should dominate the news cycle for a few days. :)

Good, if that's the case. I had hoped so.

So let me get this straight. He dances a hip-hop so that means he's going to endorse Obama ?

I will not be surprised if he does mind you ;but my bet is he won't . He declined an invitation to the DNC and he has already donated the max allowed to the McCain campaign..

On a related note: the largest number of Nobel Laureates to ever endorse a political candidate for office, have encouraged the American public to vote Obama on November 4th.

Funny you should mention that

"I was then and still am an unabashed defender of the welfare state, which I regard as the most decent social arrangement yet devised."

Yea, so?

If Powell does endorse Obama, SO WHAT? That won't make him a better candidate.
The Nobel prize thing is a bad joke, a la Gore.

Yea, it's a bad sign when intellectuals support a candidate - can't have that kind of vetting in America, got to dumb it down a little.

Yes, the Nobel Peace Prize is now vetting the socialists that they agree with.

Have you noticed that "intellectuals" can do some of the DUMBEST things??
Do you worship at some intellectual altar? Phd's only prove that someone had enough reading comprehension to retain enough facts to pass a test. It has NO bearing on ability to reason.

Speaking of the Nobel Peace Prize, at one time I admired the people that won it now I look at it as no more than the prize in a box of Cracker Jacks.

For that reason alone, I betcha don't have a Ph.D. and certainly wouldn't want one. (Do you have any idea of the work that goes into getting a Ph.D.? )

Obama was in Fayetteville, NC today. Last week I had called a bunch of Fayetteville ladies to encourage them to vote for Obama. Most had happily voted for him in the primary and planned to vote for him in the general election. I hope they showed up at the rally and mentioned that their new friend Wondergirl had called from Chicagoland.

Colin Powell finally redeemed himself in my eyes when he came out for Obama.

All I have are Cracker Jack Prizes. I've been saving them. It's hard not to open them. I'm giving them as gifts for Christmas this year since Goldman Sachs stole all my money and invested it in China and India.
As for Colin Powell, I don't blame him a bit. Bush, Cheney and Rummy are cold blooded. Let's hope he is right. I have always respected him. I hope he is right.

While Powell was serving honorably in Vietnam and his friend John McCain was being beaten in a Hanoi cell . Obama ally William Ayes was bombing the Pentagon and attempting to kill soldiers at Fort Dix New Jersey.

Colin Powell is a “Strategic Limited Partner” at Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and Byers, one of the best performing venture capital firms in history, having sponsored Google, and Apple, among others. Kleiner has made huge pushes into 'clean technology' over the past 3-4 years. They have even raised an all clean-tech fund. Al Gore is also a special partner. An Obama victory would put Kleiner in a strong commercial position.

Allies in what?? Even McCain called Ayers a "washed-up terrorist" and Obama an honorable man. Why can't you let go of it too?

McCain is inconsistent. If Ayers was a " washed up terrorist" then it would not be an issue. Yet McCain does make Ayers and issue.



When OBL comes here and becomes a teacher I'm sure you'll give him a pass also .
