Of course not.
So, again...Obama would be the first US President to have previously been a confirmed member of a far-left socialist party, but he's not that far left of a guy. OK.

That's funny, especially since even many of Obama supporters admit that he'd be the most liberal/leftist president America's ever had. But I guess you cant bring yourself to admit something that's obvious even to many of his own supporters. That's fine. I'm sure life must be good over where you live, in the land of The Nile (...that is, "Denial").

Yeah but one of his sons is such a role model.........

Re: Colin Powell will be on Meet the Press Sunday

I would vote for Colin Powell. However, I would not vote for Obama or McCain on his endorsement of either.

Which all the more reason for him to NOT tarnish his reputation by endorsing any one candidate.

If he does endorse Sen. Obama and Sen. Obama does win, you can expect to see Gen. Colin Powell again in a place of influence and power, but this time in a Democrat Administration.

Which would not shock me-- Sen. Obama has been painted as this far left guy, but in reality, he's not that far left of a guy.
Colin Powell, would be a huge asset to whoever wins the election. A man of his stature and respectability needs to be involved in government at some level, IMO.

For someone who insists he's not supporting either of these 2 candidates, you don't exactly come across as "fair and balanced" here. If you don't have a preference for either one, it just seems odd that you would spend a disproportionate amount of time bashing McCain on this forum moreso than Obama.
It's certainly you're right to observe, believe what you want.

Yes indeed.

That's why several of us, after observing a pattern in many of your posts, have come to what seems like the common-sense conclusion.

Good day to u, sir.

Stew,
I listened to the whole interview with Powell and Lehrer.

http://fora.tv/2007/07/05/A_Conversa...__Colin_Powell

Even though he disagreed with some of the handling of the war, this is his words and his view on Hussein in Iraq. This would be around 37 minutes into the interview.

Quote:
Believe me, he (Hussein) had the intention. Is anyone sure we wouldn't be seeing those weapons and stockpiles now? This was a man determined to threaten his own people, to threaten the region.

He had such weapons in the past and he had used them in the past. A lot of them were destroyed in Desert Storm and in the aftermath of Desert Storm with the UN inspectors. But he had not changed who he was. And so President Bush felt strongly that this was a problem that had to be dealt with now, either through peaceful means by the changing the nature of the regime, or by military means, a regime change totally.
