Stick a fork in this moron.

Corrections have yet to appear at USS Neverdock, Atlas Shrugs, Clayton Cramer, American Power, Sweetness & Light, Flopping Aces, and a million other rightwing citizen journalist outlets where the story was disseminated. But don't worry, it'll all be forgotten as soon as they get those new Michelle Obama tapes!

And, here comes the hypocrisy...etc...

At least you tangentially admit it's a non-story.

[hoosier]

Bobble....did you listen to what Powell said? Did you listen to all the reasons he gave for endorsing Hussein and not Mac and Palin?

Eloquence and rhetoric.

I'll paraphrase Mark Steyn who said of Obama: "The music is great, but the lyrics are terrible."

You're coming across here as someone who believes what is convenient and discards the rest. I understand that you may not agree with Powell's assessment of the two candidates, but to write what he said off as "eloquence and rhetoric" is to approach Tex-like myopia.

Those were some of his most prominent comments. I considered everything he said, pretty much. I found his explanation for his endorsement overall quite shallow - and transparent. I would have liked some challenging questions asked. My comment on his endorsing Obama for his eloquence and rhetoric was an opportunity for a quip from Steyn that I think sums up the Obama phenomenon quite nicely in a snap shot. I see and talk to a lot of people who love Obama and the whole idea of him as president, but who know relatively little about what he is going to do and what he stands for.

You mention "eloquence," but what happened to the issues of substance that Powell mentions: Obama's "steadiness," his "intellectual curiosity," his judgment, and his leadership? You say you found Powell's endorsement "shallow" and "transparent" because you don't see in Obama the qualities that Powell does. And if you can't see them, they must not be there--right?

At the same time, Powell's endorsement of Obama is as much a criticism of the kind of campaign run by McCain as it is an affirmation of Obama's campaign. Powell recognizes that McCain's discourse has become increasingly narrow-minded and negative, and that his lapse in judgment in choosing a VP was a total failure to live up to the presidential mandate. McCain screwed it up big time, and he's continuing to tarnish his legacy--that's what Powell is saying. You can't see what Powell is talking about because of ideological differences, but that's where he's pointing.

At the time of the post retraction they hadn't. Now, they have. I can't be expected to wallow thru shit all the time.

More to the point, i didn't see you castigating the poster for this type of worthless story. Ooops.

Guess that only works when a liberal does it.

Obama's "steadiness".........examples?

his "intellectual curiosity".......I'll give you this one; he is curious abot eveything on the Left or Marxist. Anything else?

his judgment........any examples? "Present" doesn't count.

and his leadership .......(see above)


You say you found Powell's endorsement "shallow" and "transparent" ......I think this is a big "make up call" for when he was at the UN talking about aluminum cylinders and whatnot. He is proud man, as well he should be.



BTW, I am putting my budget together for next year, any word yet as to whether or not we will have to tithe to Obama?

I didn't have to, because you took care of it. I also didn't know it had been shown to be false. You were incorrect in your facts. Wallow through your own shit sometime so we don't have to.

Yes, I fundamentally disagree with Powell. I see no curiosity from Obama. No ability to work across the aisle on anything other than the obvious (Obama wanted to secure Russian nukes - who wouldn't?). I also disagree on the McCain campaign. He's covered all the issues. He has to point out Obama's past because the press other than FOX and online stuff won't do it in any honest way. Powell completely ignores the compltely biased and one side nature of the coverage of McCain and Palin by most major news outlets. What is the presidential mandate for VPs? Shouldn't they at least agree with their running mate about the most important foreign policy decision of our generation? What does Powell think about Obama's judgment in picking a VP candidate who openly lies in his debate, who disagreed with Powell on Powell's most important role in his lifetime?

[bobblehead]

Bobble....did you listen to what Powell said? Did you listen to all the reasons he gave for endorsing Hussein and not Mac and Palin?

yes...i listened...he is lying. He and mccain were lock step on the iraq war while obama was screaming pull out like a 17 year old on prom night.

Hoosier...my stereotype that blacks stick together...recent polls show obama winning 94-1 in the black vote...your right, i'm flawed.

Powell has always endorsed socially liberal republicans...guys like mccain. You don't have to like it, and you can try and make a bad arguement, but powell sold us iraq, was fully vested in iraq, and is now backing the candidate who got his nomination based on never wishing to go into iraq...why would that be?? I don't care, its his right, but to tell me its cuz of barry's politics is to piss on me and tell me its raining.

[bobblehead]

This is...crap

Care to elaborate or is this the best you've got?

read my above post...but it is crap that wasn't worthy of the response I gave it.

[mraynrand]

Hoosier...my stereotype that blacks stick together...recent polls show obama winning 94-1 in the black vote...your right, i'm flawed..

The Cleveland Plain dealer reported that 98% of Blacks are voting Obama and zero percent McCain. 2% still think Kucinich is running.

There seems to be some debate on this subject, but from what Ihave read, I think it's ford.
