Why I Rarely Post Presidential Politics Anymore

"Powell Has Praise for Obama"

And vice-versa!

".... Mr. Obama said that he had not spoken to Mr. Powell recently, but that he valued his remarks.

“He’s somebody whose counsel I value,” Mr. Obama told the Chicago television stations WGN and CLTV, “and I’m grateful for his recognition that we can have differences of opinion — or be part of different political parties — but that we can still acknowledge the service we are rendering to the country.”

What bothers me most is the wide-eyed, innocent kids who rally around this guy and believe.

They are going to be SOOOO DISAPPOINTED!

I am, but only because I saw Obama as a thin reed of hope; that's gone now.

My problem with Powell is he went up to the U.N. and flat-out lied.

That moment defines his whole career for me; he was so believable to so many people!

That flushing sound you just heard was Powell's credibility winding its way through the pipes.
