Kenneth, Powell praised Obama, he did not endorse him. Why do you choose to lie & spin the truth all the time Kenneth? Are you really that insecure?

It wasn't an endorsement, Kenneth. The news media has ignored the shady characters in Obama's past, so it's doubtful Colin Powell is aware of their existence...therefore, his current assessment of BO was given without full discovery of the facts. He disagrees with BO's call to withdraw the troops ASAP and his call for boycotting the olympics. >At that same hearing, Obama insisted, "The time to end the surge and to start bringing our troops home is now, not six months from now." But Powell told Sawyer a withdrawal might not be that simple, no matter who is president next year. "(The president) will have to continue to draw down at some pace. None of them are going to have the flexibility of just saying, 'We're out of here, turn off the switch, turn off the lights, we're leaving,'" he said. "They will have a situation before them." Powell Rejects Olympic Boycott On another hot topic, Powell rejected the idea of boycotting the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in China this summer.<
