When he took over, the country was in very very difficult straits. We were in the one of the worst recessions we had seen in recent times, close to a depression. The fiscal system was collapsing. Wall Street was in chaos, we had 800,000 jobs lost in that first month of the Obama administration and unemployment peaked a few months later at 10 percent. So we were in real trouble. The auto industry was collapsing, the housing was start[ing] to collapse and we were in very difficult straits. And I saw over the next several years, stabilization come back in the financial community, housing is now starting to pick up after four years, it’s starting to pick up. Consumer confidence is rising.
— Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, endorsing President Obama for re-election in an interview with CBS News.
Oh yes, black man like this Powell is one of the reasons i am ashamed of my race. Blind racism above objectivity, truth and common sense. Hatred for everything white. Incapable of truthful analysis, and of seeing right. You wonder what intelligence he demonstrated before he was promoted to his ranks. But it would not have happened if it was not depended of the racist white man… It is so sickening to have people like this speak for us black people. His comments is full of vomits…a total disgrace for intelligent men.
Mr. Powell made a simple statement endorsing a candidate. He didn’t endorse a black candidate. He didn’t say, “I’m a black man endorsing President Obama.” He said that the President is doing a fair job and he endorses his candidacy.
Five will get you ten that Avuk, the first commentator, isn’t black at all.
