I knew Obama had this endorsement 5 mos ago when I saw Powell interviewed by Wolf Blitzer in the situation room, the Obama campaign has such good political timing Today was the perfect day for Powell to come out, he speaks to moderate D’s + R’s it’s a three day story! than to release the Sept. fund raising #’s 150 million dollars UNREAL! What a sweet place for the Obama campaign to be 2 weeks out not only will this help Obama but this will have a good effect down ticket! it’s really lookin like a big year for the D’s! A LANDSLIDE!
Obama/Biden for America!
We have no indication that Saddam Hussein has ever abandoned his nuclear weapons program.
We have more than a decade of proof that he remains determined to acquire nuclear weapons.
Saddam Hussein already possesses two out of the three key components needed to build a nuclear bomb.
Since 1998, his efforts to reconstitute his nuclear program have been focused on acquiring the third and last component, sufficient fissile material to produce a nuclear explosion.
Saddam Hussein is determined to get his hands on a nuclear bomb.
C. Powell, UN speech in Feb. 6, 2003.
Seems no one has a lock on credibility.
But why would I vote for Obama Bin Laden anyways?
That endorsement hurt ey James! It’s all over but the CRYIN, looks like you gotta head start Jimmy!
If Powell still can’t convince his own son to support B.O., I doubt he’ll be able to convince anyone else.
for some reason I just get the feelin’ ole Gordo played the lead “little man behind the curtain” in his Junior High School rendition of the Wizard of Oz:>)
What is to cry about Gordo….most will just adjust if Barry turns out to be a dud..it’s all part of the game Gordo:>)
Get a date this weekend or did you stay home and read up on the Electoral College???
Dewey Win’s, Dewey Win’s:>)
Powell was the foremost advocate of the WMD justification for defending ourselves, now he’s a darling of the Left.
What “valyes” won’t the Libs sacrifice to gain power?
So pathetic that Obama is even considered a reasonable choice for President. Anyone ever seen the South Side of Chicago? It’s an absolute shit-hole, and it was Obama’s sole responsibility before he began his run for President. If the CHANGE in the FUTURE that we’re HOPING for looks anything like B.O.s last “accomplishment”, GBV will look like paradise.
The endorsement of Obama was one thing but Powell slammed the GOP and the McHover campaign for channeling Joe McCarthy kinda like paulie and lincoln dinosaurs from the 50′s!

Zogby talks about “the Powell bounce” in that Reuters peice fascinating! This is conformation that McHover is the fringe candidate and the GOP is the fringe party!
Do you think that maybe Powell endorsed his “pal” so that he could serve in a conciliatory position? ie, stay within the DC beltway when all the rest of the Bush team is driven out?
By the way, what is this whole Mc-Hover thing, Gordon? I seriously don’t get your churlish joke…
I assume it’s supposed to be some type of play on McCain’s name. Something like if I continuously called Obama, “Gloryholebama”. Except that most folks know what a glory hole is. What is the McCain Hover? Some dance you do when you have two broken arms, a broken leg, and cancer?
Whatever you do, don’t refer to B.O, by his real name. The word “Hussein” is verboten now that the guy who bears the name is a Socialist. If he was a Conservative, “Hussein” would be the only name the dumb-ass media and their willing idiots would refer to him by.
Alas and alack, we might have to go through another Jimmy Carter era to remind people of the 100% failure rate of “charismatic” leftists like B.O.
Tom McHover comes from about three weeks ago when McCain sais “the fundamentals of the economy are sound” they exact same words that President Herbert Hover used at the beginning of the great depression! Thats the reason I use the moniker Mchover when describing McCain! Your moniker for Senator Obama was vile and base!
Lincoln it’s not Jimmy Carter you’re goin through it’s Joe McCarthy! Your Johnny one note-liberal bad, socialist, terrorist, treasonous, anti American mantra has grown old and tired! Change is comin old man!
Obama/Biden for the Change we need!
“Gordo the Lemming”…not one original idea in his own head..states he is onboard for a vibrant Worcester yet can’t state one thing he is part of..just one more lifeless person blabbering talking points
Watch the new england cable news network (NECN) Paulie Tues. Oct. 28 and you can see the contribution I have made, you can see it along with the rest of New England, OK!
Now face the fact that Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States of America YS! In 13 days!

Ohhhh HOOVER.
By the way, “vile” is the same as “base”. That’s like me calling you inane and naive.
Maybe Obama will really open a Department of Redundancy Department. You could surely score a job there when you get sick of taking our money because you feel entitled to it. :p
It’s called emphasis!
Yep, change is comin…
..in the form of us adopting a shitty, third-rate, european economy.
Yep, Get ready for U.S to adopt another shitty, third-rate european economy.
Get ready? the shitty third rate economy is here and has been here for the last 7 and1/2 years J.D.!
Get ready for a new deal American middle class economy Obama/Biden for America
“Get ready for a…middle class economy”
For the first and last time you may have spoken the truth. Instead of being a first class economy, we’ll be a second class welfare state run on marginalization and socialism.
Though honestly, there is no way that McCain would ever be able to slow down the march towards a full on Nanny state with a camera on every street corner monitoring your CO2 output and electronically withdrawing from your bank account to a fund run by Al Gore for every breath over the limit you take. :p
You seem paranoid tom?
