Practice it Mr. former general. You’re gonna be using it a lot.

And kyle8 those three easy lessons would be:

1. Being a “former general”;
2. Being a SoS on a par with Madeline Albright without the “loyalty factor”;
3. Claiming to be a Republican and endorsing The BoyPresident™.

But General, I thought people WANTED more government in their lives???
/sarc

Am I the only one reading the comments on the article? How can people be so blind (or is it dumb)? I am so sad for the state of our country and the stupidity of many of my fellow citizens. They just don’t get it - free healthcare isn’t free! Nor are any of the “free” things government offers. WE pay for them. I am a public high school graduate (although also a private, Catholic college graduate) and even I understood these things after high school.

Why would he come out now and make himself look like such an idiot?
I thought supporting Obama was a stupid move but now coming out and in essence saying he was a sucker? It’s people like Powell we don’t need in the party. Dude, go join Arlen in the corner and put your dunce cap on. The train has left the station and it’s too late to jump on board.

cannedjam Friday, July 3rd at 1:33PM EDT (link)

Powell is a sell out, Independents respected him, and Democrats embraced him when he endorsed Obama. Powell speaking out against Obama’s policies now, does more to change the minds of Independents and Democrats than Rush or any other perceived partisan who was consistently critical.

The more people who openly supported Obama, like Buffet, Kramer and Powell, who now express serious doubts about his policies do more to damage his agenda than those who never supported him in the first place (no mater how hypocritical it is perceived).

I welcome any criticism of Obama, especially from those who supported him.

you are probably right

It wouldn’t surprise me if there was some pork in some bill about gov funded clinics for behavior modification for felines with ATHAD (aversion to human authority disorder) and it includes mandatory workshops for the owner to understand the cats needs and struggles of sleeping, eating, watching out the window and hunting household insects. :)

And you think I'M the one giving them ideas, mom2?

janis Friday, July 3rd at 2:39PM EDT (link)

Your sarcasm may not be off the mark by much. I recall hearing about a program discussed by Obama and AlGore that involves “massive persuasion techniques” in order to make all of us understand the importance of Globull Warming and the “solutions” to fix it all.

Oh boy. Massive persuasion programs and techniques. I can hardly wait. If they have their way, we will all be as glazed-eyed as Obama’s most fervent and mind-numbed acolytes.

The yellow male bit the black male’s tale a couple of weeks ago. Don’t know what started it, they usually get along, but all of a sudden, there was a black and yellow furball and the black one came out of it with his tail bitten through. Bear in mind these are BIG cats, twenty-five pounders, so they can do damage. So, off to the vet we go and I get to make a $200 and change contribution to the vet’s kid’s college fund over a cat fight. I want National pet health insurance!

Credibility?

Thomas_Hauber Friday, July 3rd at 2:02PM EDT (link)

Powell has absolutely ZERO credibility on this issue. He gave up his right to voice his doubts when he endorsed the “O” last fall.

I still want him to be kicked out of the Republican party. His kind of Republican we do not need. Now or ever.

5^5! Amen, brotha!

azaeroprof Friday, July 3rd at 3:11PM EDT (link)

Not only does Colin Powell have ZERO credibility, he has MUCHO CULPABILITY!!! If anything, he needs to volunteer to pay the taxes for a few million of us who are now paying for his foolishness and, yes, racism. Either that, or he should just SHUT THE UP AND GO AWAY!!

ddlbb Monday, July 6th at 7:26AM EDT (link)

what powell had to say in the election. so did many independents. conservatives…not so much, since we knew that the general was not a conservative and could see his motives.

now he has ruined his credibility with these independents and squishy gop’ers. he shows himself as just wanting to be on the winning team, in the popular clique, with the race-transcendent crowd. (tribute to w.a. on that last sentence.)

so who still thinks general powell is a big deal? african-americans, who called him a sell-out during his service to president bush? liberals, who hate america’s military greatness and partly blame powell for his plea to the u.n. to drag us into iraq? the obama administration, who no longer has a need for this turncoat?

i’m thinking that his endorsement of president obama wasn’t the good career move that he thought it was.

Ruined his credibility? Not so much.

mbecker908 Monday, July 6th at 8:37AM EDT (link)

First of all the only people he’s real got any cred with are the leftists in the MSM and the voters who only pay attention 72 hours before they cast their ballot.

Note that he didn’t say “I was wrong.” He mumbled some crap about spending too much. Those same people don’t care how much we spend as long as taxes go up on corporations and the rich. If there’s a shortfall it will be the fault of the Evil Republicans who serve the Rich.

As far as Obama is concerned, he doesn’t need Powell, the general served his purpose and can now be safely cast aside.

“I don’t like slogans anymore like ‘limited government.’ That’s not the right answer. The right answer is, give me a government that works.”

“Limited government” isn’t a slogan Gen. Powell, it has to be a way of life.

I'm glad Colin Powell waited till he was retired to abandon the principles of leadership.

As it is he’s an embarrassment to everyone who ever wore a uniform. A worse Traitor than Shinseki or Clark.

His statement makes me want to vomi.:
“The people want their problems solved,” Powell also says in the interview. “And very often, it’s government that has to do that. So let’s have good government, effective government, whether you call it limited or not.”

The only time government needs to solve our problems is after government has caused the problem in the first place. Get government out of our way and watch what we can do!

"Government that works"

Menlo Friday, July 3rd at 2:47PM EDT (link)

That’s the philosophy of the dictators who run places like China and North Korea. Their government certainly “works.” Maybe Powell should take a slow boat to China where his views are better represented.

As seen with Sandra Day O’Connor, doing “whatever works” is a way of disposing of the nation’s core values, our freedom, and most importantly, our Constitution.

i take a pre-1937 view of the constitution myself, but the national govt is supposed to accomplish certain things under the constitution (e.g., common defence), and shouldn’t it do those things as well as possible?

yes it should do those things...

DONTREADONME Tuesday, July 7th at 5:08PM EDT (link)

but even the DoD has been inflitrated by the broken bureaucrats; therefore, pre-1937 is impossible with out the elimination of the thousands of layers of bureaucracy.

True enough

tanstaafl1019 Wednesday, July 8th at 4:52PM EDT (link)

But viewed in context of some of Gen. Powell’s more recent statements about people wanting more government in their lives, I get the idea that it’s less about government working in the way that it SHOULD (i.e. facilitating Americans’ abilities to go about their lives unhindered and unencumbered by bureaucracy) and more about government working in the way the Obama administration apparently envisions (it works because it’s the right way, the only way and if you can’t see that you must be an idiot).

Interestingly, the few things the government seems to do really well (defense, for example, as you pointed out) often align with the responsibilities of government as laid out by the Founders. Coincidence? I think not.

The two highest achievements of the human mind are the twin concepts of “loyalty” and “duty.” Whenever these twin concepts fall into disrepute—get out of there fast! You may possibly save yourself, but it is too late to save that society. It is doomed.

The self absorbed media whores need to be booted out right now. All of them. I thought someone was supposed to have principles and stood for them in running for office. Now it’s, “What positions will get me elected?”
Only 30% of the country supported the revolution. If the founders had used focus groups we would all be speaking German, Japanese, Russian, Chinese or something worse.
If you can’t win the election on principles, then try again, and again and again.

After all, Obama is just fulfilling his campaign promises. Everything he has done/is pushing is exactly what he said he’d do while on the campaign trail.

Some of us were paying attention. Apparently, Secretary Powell was not…

And as for all the psychophants who are now upset with PrezBO, all I have to say is, “we toldja’ so.”

There’s no need for him anymore, his purpose has been served.

The ‘Uncle Tom’ monikers will get dusted off and brought out of storage because, after all, he’s not a real black man - remember?

Colin Powell has simply become an unelected, African-American clone of John McCain.

When the left doesn’t need him anymore, he’ll make noise like a Red-State GOP leader (ie, like right now). When his own party needs him in a crises, he’ll stab them in the back and run into the open arms of an adoring media.

billg Saturday, July 4th at 12:54AM EDT (link)

here we all thought that the General was an honorable man who rose from the lower ranks to the heights of the most high and mighty. I have read that he gave the maximum amount allowed to McCain and then just a short time before the election came out in support of Obama. He didn’t see the deceit in the eyes of Obama; he was lied to by the CIA; he didn’t know about his deputy Sec of State outing Valerie Plame; he doesn’t lose his place on the social lists of Washington to miss any top cocktail parties and social dinner events. Well, let me tell you what really is there; General Powell voted for Barack Obama just like many others, he is a racists and voted because of the color of his skin! If he were truly a man of honor he would not have endorsed Obama and went quietly into the voting booth without saying anything. Yes, General Powell is a racists, just like David Duke and the KKK. He voted for a man he knew wasn’t fit to be our President like a good “yellow dog Democrat”. Challenge that if you can, General Powell!

Bring our military and intelligence forces home to the good ole USA. We need them here and now to remove the communists which have infiltrated our Federal government.

 

Don't understand people like Powell

brandoncraig Sunday, July 5th at 11:14PM EDT (link)

I honor Gen. Powell for his service, but this certainly proves he lacked the judgement to ever be president.

Obama is doing exactly what he said he was going to do and this was obvious to any thinking person before the election.

The fact that Gen. Powell and so many other Americans were blinded by Obama’s charisma instead of looking at his core beliefs still sends chills down my spine.

I understand them
