 Finally, someone who endorsed Obama is seeing that he is messing up. Something a lot of us has seen all along.

WASHINGTON (July 4) - Colin Powell worries that President Barack Obama is trying to tackle too many big issues at one time and he offers this advice: take a hard look at costs and consider the additional red tape that will be created.

 

"Keep it as small as possible. Keep the tax burden on the American people as small as possible, but at the same time, have government that is solving the problems of the people," he said.

Too bad Powell has been asked to leave the GOP.

AMEN!!

I can hear Obama's response now, "I am the ahh..ahh..President"!!

All who think Obama will pay attention, raise your hands.

/Not raising mine/

Could be Powell will be called a "Tom" now.....It's the VRWC, afterall....

"Keep the tax burden on the American people as small as possible"

Is that a joke?!?!? The entire plan for his route to communism depends heavily on taxing us into submission.

I was thinking today as I was looking at pictures of our new fighter jets. If this country can survive obama and the current congress (and it doesn't look good right now) I'm more worried about obama after he's out of office giving away our secrets. I'm sure the military can see through him enough to steer him from the important documents but I'm sure he's got his cronies sneaking around where we don't need them.

Colin should have been the first black president.

Omaba won't listen to anyone.... until he has to meet Satan face to face!

I just hope some Democrats will show some leadership and help vote down some of this lunacy. It is nice for Powell to speak out but he doesn't get to vote on any of Obama's socialist fantasies.

Powell shouldn't be suprised. Obama is pretty much doing what he promised. It was just as crazy then when Powell thought it a good idea to throw an endorsement. Thanks for nothing Colin.
