Colin Powell endorses Obama

[ayzo]

WTF!? :confused:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/19/colin.powell/


(CNN) -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced Sunday that he will be voting for Sen. Barack Obama, citing the Democrat's "ability to inspire" and the "inclusive nature of his campaign."

"He has both style and substance. I think he is a transformational figure," Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"Obama displayed a steadiness. Showed intellectual vigor. He has a definitive way of doing business that will do us well," Powell said.

Powell, a retired U.S. general and a Republican, was once seen as a possible presidential candidate himself.

Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain's judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn't think she is ready to be president.

He also said he was disappointed with some of McCain's campaign tactics, such as bringing up Obama's ties to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.

Powell served as secretary of state under President Bush from 2001 to 2005.

The notion of a Powell endorsement has been rumored for several months.

On August 13, Powell's office denied a report on Fox by commentator Bill Kristol that Powell had decided to publicly back Obama at the Democratic National Convention.

Several sources said at the time that Powell had not made a decision about a possible endorsement.

"As always, he is holding his cards close and waiting for more information," one adviser told CNN's John King in August.

Powell himself brushed off queries on any potential presidential nod but told ABC News on August 13 that he would not be going to Denver, Colorado, for the convention.

"I do not have time to waste on Bill Kristol's musings," he said. "I am not going to the convention. I have made this clear."

In February, Powell told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he was weighing an endorsement of a Democratic or independent candidate.

"I am keeping my options open at the moment," Powell said.

"I have voted for members of both parties in the course of my adult life. And as I said earlier, I will vote for the candidate I think can do the best job for America, whether that candidate is a Republican, a Democrat or an independent," he added.

Powell has offered praise for Obama, calling him an "exciting person on the political stage."

"He has energized a lot of people in America," said Powell, who briefly weighed his own run for the White House in the mid-1990s. "He has energized a lot of people around the world. And so I think he is worth listening to and seeing what he stands for."

Powell's adviser has said that "he likes and admires John McCain, and that would be a factor in anything he does if he decides to get more involved."

Another source close to Powell said he has known the Republican nominee for more than three decades "and likes him and is looking for a reason to vote for him. He hasn't found it yet."

The former general, who has largely steered clear of politics since leaving the Bush administration, noted that the next president will need to work to restore America's standing in the world.

Powell gave the keynote address at the Republican National Convention in support of George W. Bush in 2000.

"I will ultimately vote for the person I believe brings to the American people the kind of vision the American people want to see for the next four years," he said. "A vision that reaches out to the rest of the world, that starts to restore confidence in America, that starts to restore favorable ratings to America. Frankly, we've lost a lot in recent years."

Powell's adviser also said at the time that the vice presidential picks for both candidates would be a major factor in his decision, both for the quality of each man's running mate and for what sort of "signal that choice sends about the character and judgment of the candidate."

He also said that a Powell decision to back Obama would not be a surprise.

[Geor!]

Glad that mofo didn't decide to run for President now that I see his true colors (no pun intended).

[Vertnut]

Gee. Is anyone REALLY surprised? :rolleyes:

[thesource]

I think the most damaging part of his statement was when he said "and likes him and is looking for a reason to vote for him. He hasn't found it yet."

[Buzzo]

Gee. Is anyone REALLY surprised? :rolleyes:
"he's black, Im black, makes sense" I think that's the way 90% of his supporters think

If all the whites thought that way McCain would win for sure. Oh but wait that would be racists right. :rolleyes:

No shit. Pretty blatant when a career military man votes for a socialist... :cool:

We're friends right.... :o I don't want to be on Denny's hit list. :D

[01WhiteCobra]

No surprise. When Powell said it would be electrifying to have a black man as president last month I knew it was coming.

[Big Thumper]

He must know something we don't...I don't see him voting soley on race.


Pretty soon we will all be saying....the black mans trying to keep us whites down..lol. The word "cracka" will be ok to use between ourselves, but you use the word "cracker," riots are gonna break out. That word was used on my great great grandfather one time.

Well he was pretty much tossed away by the Bush administration after his usefulness was done. I'm pretty sure he is feeling pretty slighted at the moment.

Along with being called an Uncle Tom for most of the last 8 years I'm sure he is feeling pretty slighted by his own race and lost his identity.

Good way to get it back.

[thesource]

I honestly don't think Powell is backing him simply because they are both black . Oprah backing him because he's black , YES . Powell , NO or atleast I would like to believe he's better than that . Maybe he's setting himself up to become the sec. of state again under Obama ???? Who knows but I think his endorsement is the most damning one against McCain so far and might very well be your October surprise !!!

[Geor!]

You might be right, since nobody in the media really pays much attention to Obama's horrible policies. That alone, should be enough to warrant a huge McCain victory.

[Cartman]

too bad it isn't powell as the one who is running, but if he wants to fun later one this is a good 1st step. I like it. :D

[GT Dan]

I've always thought Powell was soft since the first gulf war... we should have marched into Baghdad and kicked Saddams ass the first time... instead, Powell said we were being mean and should stop... Here it is fifteen years later and were cleaning up the mess...

I agree with that last statement by 01WC... after being kicked to the curb by the Bush administration, this is a great way to save face...

[blkscorpion80]

OBAMA FOR PRES. :D

[blkscorpion80]

"he's black, Im black, makes sense" I think that's the way 90% of his supporters think


And that goes both ways. The majority of the peope voting for Mc Cain do not like him. He is getting votes because no one wants a black president!

[lowthreeohz]

No, we don't care if he's black... we don't want a SOCIALIST president.

[Stevo]

And that goes both ways. The majority of the peope voting for Mc Cain do not like him. He is getting votes because no one wants a black president!

I would venture to say Obama is getting far more votes from a 'select crowd' that's only care is getting a black president.

[gpamp]

You guys SAY "it's because he's socialist", but come on. We know...

Are you guys going to pretend to be shocked when it comes out that Condie is voting for Obama? Have you heard anything from her about it? There's probably a reason for that.

[jones4stangs]

Yes!

"he's black, Im black, makes sense" I think that's the way 90% of his supporters think
MR. BROKAW: And you are fully aware that there will be some--how many, no one can say for sure--but there will be some who will say this is an African-American, distinguished American, supporting another African-American because of race.

GEN. POWELL: If I had only had that in mind, I could have done this six, eight, 10 months ago. I really have been going back and forth between somebody I have the highest respect and regard for, John McCain, and somebody I was getting to know, Barack Obama. And it was only in the last couple of months that I settled on this. And I can't deny that it will be a historic event for an African-American to become president. And should that happen, all Americans should be proud--not just African-Americans, but all Americans--that we have reached this point in our national history where such a thing could happen. It will also not only electrify our country, I think it'll electrify the world.

[Mustangman_2000]

I'm not really surprised, but damn!

A Republican and a ranking member of the military voting for Obama. Interesting for those who think it's not about color. Powell doesn't subscribe to socialism, but he does subscribe to black.

How sad.

[Trip McNeely]

Shut the fuck up. You obviously have no clue.

I'd vote for Condie in a heartbeat if she ran. She's black. So clearly I have no issue with a black president.

It just happens to be that this black president is a stupid motherfucker. Unfortunately, he's black and thus anyone who doesn't support him is written off as a racist.

Are you really that fucking thick-headed, immature, and stupid that you would really insinuate that my motive for not voting for this chickenfucker are is that he's black. Jesus fucking Christ.

I thought Hendrick sucked when I saw you a good while back, and your brainless ass has only solidified my opinion of your terrible fucking band.

If someone on here is going to say that someone who's black (Colin Powell) is voting for Obama, just because he's black... then it's safe to say the opposite could true, no?

He's the short fat fuck with the beard. You know, that hair on his chin is there as a special request from Obama. He wanted something to tickle his nuts while he rams his cock down gpampers throat.

Ooo, quick he disagrees with us on politics, lets start attacking him personally!

Mag, you're already a fucktard that rips apart rap kids http://www.hendrickmusic.com/magsig.jpg, and you're a known racist on this board. (sorry, saying "just kidding" after every time you say "nigger" doesn't make you anything less)

So, go fuck your mother. Seriously. Ram your little guy up her ass, and make some retarded babies that she can finally be proud of.

[gpamp]

So... did my political discourse scare everyone? Is that why you all went with a personal attack, complete with pictures? Are your political stances THAT threatened that one of the 4 or 5 Democrats on this forum freaked you out enough to start a full-on attack?

I know your ideologies of sheep-dom are weak. But this is below all of you. Or not.

The only reason you think my political arguments are like your horrific version of an insult, is because you don't agree. You're a monkey. You don't agree with someone, and your first instinct is to "smash!!" or "destroy!!".

Extirpating an argument you disagree with doesn't make you right.

I'd like to introduce you to my black friends who will laugh at you, with whom i constantly toss black/white joke back and forth with.

Edit: Then they'll hug you, when they find out you endorse obama.


If you can't make light of anything, then that means it must truly affect you on a level that means you need professional help. I have no problem with people of any color of the rainbow, and some colors not in the rainbow. However, i do have a problem with fucktards like gpamp.

Dude, I've got a lot of black friends. I'll kid around about stereotypes all day long with them. But if I ever threw the word "nigger" around like you do, the BEST of my black friends would either disown me or kick my ass.

I need personal help? I'd say that whoever fails an attempt to argue their point, then decides to go looking around for pictures to make fun of instead, needs the professional help.

How do Republicans view Colin Powell? I've always heard of him being anti-political and all military. Is it because later in his career, he disagreed with the Iraq war, that Republicans are mad at him?

[STANGGT40]

for the record, i've known gpamp (greg) my whole life and i think that most everyone here would really like him if you met him. he's a democrat, but he's a really cool guy.;) i told him that he would have to be thick skinned to hang out on these forums and he understands that but, much like myself, everyone has to understand that people will have opinions and there's not much you can do to change them, other than point out the facts and hope that the other person changes their view...it's difficult when talking about politcs, though, because there are so many "gray areas" and it's easy to view things one direction or the other depending on which direction that you lean.

I think Powell feels like he got "dissed" for lack of a better term. I really don't have a problem with Powell, but he did kind of turn on the administration. I don't know how he ever got labeled as a "conservative", other than working for Bush. His opinions, when asked, are anything but.

Maybe you need friend who aren't stuck in the civil war or during jim crow law passings. I'm sorry you have to tip-toe around your friends like that, but i guess even they need a "white bitch" to be their token white guy when they get pulled over.
just kidding. :)

I've actually debated the origin, and originally meaning of the word "nigger", and how it came to be today. These same people give the wrong origin of it, but at the same time, think the word "cracker" is perfectly okay to call a white person, yet they have NO idea where the word came from. Of course, some get stuck saying "because that's what the whip did on my ancestors back." No, that's not where it came from, but yes, the whip did. It's a shame that you have friends who would disown or kick your ass over the uttering of a single word. Says incredibly amounts for you, and your friends

What do you friends do when they hear it? Turn their radio up to hear the rest of the song they heard it off of, or give a meaningless reply to their buddy who just called them that out of the norm of their conversation?

People are too fucking worked up over racial shit today. No one can sit back and laugh anymore. One day, when you're nuts drop, and you see the world beyond whatever your cock-sucking band's annual income is, you'll understand that to be focused on believing someone does a certain thing because of their color is retarded.

Now, i do believe that geographic location can help out much greater when you want to try and justify a stereotype, but it's just as pointless.

Oh, and thanks for taking the thread of your democratic brethren who said he wanted to rip about raped kids out of context to look like something i said. I guess you need to do that to fall in line with your other democratic group's policies.

This is what I dont understand. Powell is directly linked to the Bush adm. yet every chance obama gets he links McCain to bush. Given that would the endoresment also link obama to Bush?

Powell has always been pretty neutral, politically. He served under Reagan, Bush 1, Cliton, and Bush 2. He's a registered Republican, and campaigned for Bush. But socially, he's a Democrat.

So Obama is taking the support of someone who obviously either has multiple personalities, or is bi-polar.

[line-em-up]

Okay all of you butt licking fags, you've gotten off topic with all of your hate filled posts. If you want to hear it straight from the horses mouth, watch this interview with the horse himself, Colin Powell. Maybe you'll learn something useful.

You're continuing to underscore my issue with your rhetoric: you're absolutely obsessed with classifying and categorizing people. I must question the true knowledge and cranial capacity of anyone willing to continually tack themselves and the others around them down as belonging to one train of thought/one group.

So...by using your spin-logic, you're a bitter little man that hates rapper's kids and have no idea where babies come from.

Reagan has Powell as Security Advisor, Bush I has Powell as first black Joint C.O.S and Bush II keeps him around as Sec. Of. State. How does he repay Repubs, endorses the democrat because he is black. What's next, Condoleeza running as VP with Hillary next time?

I wouldn't call your hack of a band a "job". In fact, that's quite a stretch. Kind of like Obama calling Senator McCain 'Bush'.

The band makes money, but it pays for studio time, etc.

Plus, are you calling my band a "hack of a band" just because you've never done anything worthwhile or artistic with your life? Or because you're an asshole with nothing better to do? Either/or will do.

He probably called it that because your band fucking sucks, the mixing is horrible (instruments drown out the singer), and it's the generic hippy-ish shit you hear 24/7 in Austin at Emo's.

I have to thank you for one thing.. . outside of the political section, a few of the members always seem to bicker and argue over difference of opinion. . . however, whenever you're involved, we pull together to bash you like a like a lone bank robber caught off guard on wall street.

Nga just lookin' for a job. That's all this is.

Usually when we play in Dallas, we play House of Blues or Granada. Just because you guys hate my political opinion doesn't mean my band sucks. It means that you guys are so biased that it leaks into all aspects of your lives.

And I wasn't counting the band as a job, even though I'm out of town every weekend in November, playing shows. I still have 3 jobs.

You couldn't be more wrong about this. Oh, shit... I forgot who I was talking to here. Yeah, you could. And you have. But that's not the point. The point is, we're calling your band a hack because they suck out loud. Sucking is ok, as long as you don't trample my rights to listen to good music. But you guys play, and play in bars. Your music sucks, the vocals suck, etc. Everything about it sucks. That has absolutely nothing to do with your blind political opinions, or lack thereof.


But continue on, thinking your band is good. I don't have to tell you that, as you will anyways. But know, that everyone on here that's checked out your gay ass myspace page, thinks your music sucks. Oh, I guess we're all wrong.... What ever was I thinking? :rolleyes:

We're playing with our lead-singer's cousin's band. The Afters. They're semi-known. They're on Columbia, and have a song as the theme song for 8th & Ocean. But they're pretty religious, so they're having a hard time busting into the mainstream.

The Afters are a wonderful band..I've seen them play with Casting Crowns and Salvador. How you would have any association to that fine group of people is puzzling.

they're pretty good, you should go to one of their shows. i've gone to two shows and i really liked them...and i'm not just saying that because he's a friend.

Powell is considered a "hawk," but yes, he is socially as left as they come. Pro quotas, chocie, and affirmative action, he is the epitome of RINO.

Powell has always been pretty neutral, politically. He served under Reagan, Bush 1, Cliton, and Bush 2. He's a registered Republican, and campaigned for Bush. But socially, he's a Democrat.

I checked out their web site and didn't see anything coming up, as far as shows.

For a do-nothing-with-your-life,

References? Or are you just taking blind stabs because you really don't have a clue as to what you're talking about? I've accomplished more in my short life, than most ever will. And I'm nowhere near done yet.

fan of a football team in the shitter,

Please enlighten me, as to your favorite team. Because I'm fucking certain, that the team you like doesn't amount to shit. You don't want to go down this road, trust me.

you sure are a mouthy chick.



A mouthy chick, huh? You've got the mouthy part right. I speak my mind. If you don't like it, you can go fuck yourself with a rusty coat hanger. Kind of like your mother should have done after pissing on that stick...

Chick? Are you lashing out because the last time you thought you saw your dick, you had it confused with a twinkie?

Colin Powell has always secretly been a democrat regardless of his success in the military.

He is with the republicans now because when he was looking for a job, the democrats were not hiring.

We've grown up around them. Played in bands with most of them. And Matt & Josh (our singer) are 1st cousins that look more like brothers.

I guess you're taking a personal stab at me, though. Praise Him, brother.

Powell has always been bipartisan. He was "with the Republicans" because they knew he was the best man for the job. Not everyone can be a yes-man. Sometimes the unpopular decision is the best decision, and sometimes Powell disagreed with the rest of the cabinet. History is already starting to prove him correct.
