So all of a sudden Colin Powell acts like he never saw the trillions of dollars of debt coming when he endorsed Barack Obama before the election last year. Now, he thinks it might be a problem according to Jon Ward at the Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“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 interview with CNN’s John King. It was released by the network Friday. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s a video of the interview;

He claims he “never would have believed” that Obama would have expanded the deficit as large as it’s become in the last few months. Where was Powell during the election? Did he mute his TV every time Obama spoke? Ray Charles could have seen this deficit expansion coming from space. Well, that was probably true, that Powell did mute his TV – all Powell wanted was a Black president.<\/p>\n

Too little, too late. Well, Powell accomplished everything he wanted – he rehabilitated his image in the Black community after being called vile names for the years he worked for Bush – so it’s a personal victory for him – he made friends with the Democrats again. At what cost to the rest of us? <\/p>\n

Personally, it’s been a very long time since I’ve had any respect for Powell since he insinuated a long time ago that Conservatives aren’t compassionate. I wasn’t surprised when he turned on President Bush and then the rest of us, too. And this doesn’t surprise me either – he seems to want his cake and eat it, too.<\/p>\n

Anyone who welcomes him back into the party is just asking for another disappointment. Colin Powell has always done what’s best for Colin Powell, and screw the rest of the country. That’s why we didn’t finish the job in Iraq in 1991 and that’s why we went back to Iraq in 2003 – we did it all for Colin Powell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
