1. He's having a hard time not crying in this interview.

Like him or not, Powell helped Obama in places like Florida.

[Whisp]

2. he said some really good, eloquent things this morning.

I'm losing my hate-on for him.

[Captain Hilts]

6. He should have said them about Abu Grahib and Gitmo. nt

[Whisp]

7. oh, don't worry, that hate-on will come back.

just hard to keep the hate right now, I feel good. ;)

[trumad]

3. Fuck Powell

[Captain Hilts]

4. He asked us all to get behind George W. Bush too. Sorry. Too late. nt

[midnight]

5. I have a hard time being moved by this man's tears. He caused too

many tears of the children who were brutally killed and or watched their own innocent parents tears. If the American red cross is successful in prosecuting this gang for war crimes he will be tried too, and he knows it.

8. good for powell... (and screw all you haters)

he's right on the money.

this is a win for all americans, not just a "black thing."

[Clio the Leo]

11. Amen! Thank you Colin!!! NT

[ecstatic]

9. "I'm not looking for a job but...

if Obama needs some assistance from someone who was National Security Adviser, Chairman of Joints Chiefs of Staff, and Secretary of State... he's free to call!

:rofl:

Nice interview. Thanks for posting.

10. Lipstick on a pig.

12. That was a very eloquent interview with Colin Powell..

just like his endorsement of Obama on mtp.

When he was talking about the tough campaigns that are waged in American Politics I was reminded of Matt Taibbi's quote in Rolling Stone this issue on "My Campaign Memories"..

"Obama isn't interested in jacking up anybody's bloodlust--a new thing in modern American Politics.
