Shelf Life Over?
By Mitch Berg
D’ya suppose Colin Powell’s career as every Democrat’s favorite Republican might be coming to a close?
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.
“The right answer is, ‘Give me a government that works,'” the former secretary of state said in a television interview to be aired Sunday. “Keep it as small as possible,” added Powell, who said he has spoken recently with Obama and stays in touch with him. Powell, a Republican, endorsed Obama last year over the GOP presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.Obama wants to overhaul the health care system and take on climate change while also helping the country emerge from the recession.
If Powell keeps this up, derogatory jokes about black soldiers will suddenly be just as politically correct as jokes about middle-class working mothers and pregnant teenagers are.

Gee, maybe you Republicans will nominate Colin Powell. Sure, you wouldn’t get the support of the racists in the party…
Oh, right.

Right!
And you Dems could nominate a woman with years of relevant experience and seniority…
…oh, crap.

They could. But then a black guy got more votes this time. No doubt the experienced lady will be elected president in ’16.

You guys still trying to pass Barry off as an “African-American”? And when Al Franken gets mad, he must be a Native-American because his skin has a red tint to it.

Colin Powell should run as democrat. After all, he is bright and clean and articulate, qualities some democrats consider remarkable in African-Americans.

And he can fist-bump. He’s got all of the qualifications!
Don’t you just love how the Tics forget how Gen. Powell was who they called inauthentic (read “not black enough”) several years ago, and they forgot all of that a few short years ago, and any day now (if he continues his comments against The One Who One) he’ll be back in the inauthentic camp.
