Duh, Powell!
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell apparently can't believe what he's seeing from the Obama administration's spending and approach to government policy. Really, Colin? Now you have concerns? Did you not research your candidate that well? This is a low blow, but you are starting to have a track record of believing what you hear, not what you see. In the words of my family, "duhh-oy!" Powell went against the GOP nominated candidate for President Sen. John McCain and backed then Democrat nominee Sen. Barack Obama for President in the general election. Powell has received backlash for that choice.
And then there's this:
Well, on CNN's Sunday program State of the Union with John King, Colin Powell will critique President Obama. According to the Fox News article After Supporting Obama's Campaign, Powell Now Skeptical of President's Spending Priorities Powell has the following to say about the Obama administration:
"I'm concerned at the number of programs that are being presented, the bills associated with these programs and the additional government that will be needed to execute them."
"The right answer is, give me a government that works, keep it as small as possible."
"I think one of the cautions that has to be given to the president — and I've talked to some of his people about this — is that you can't have so many things on the table that you can't absorb it all. And we can't pay for it all."
"And I never would have believed that we would have budgets that are running into the multi-trillions of dollars, and we are amassing a huge, huge national debt that, if we don't pay for in our lifetime, our kids and grandkids and great grandchildren will have to pay for it."
"Keep it as small as possible. Keep the tax burden on the American people as small as possible, but at the same time, have government that is solving the problems of the people."
Duh-Oy! Way to come back around, Powell. The interview will air on CNN this Sunday, July 5th at 9am EST.

A strong blog exists the features the political mayhem that takes place over the U.S. The name of the blog is “Right Not Wrong. Recently it featured a blog about the Former Secretary of State Colin Powell. Powell is greatly surprised to see how the Obama Government works on U.S. He is stunned to see the administrative changes of the Obama government which can be greatly distinguished with that of the government that was handled by the former president George Bush. It has been said that Powell has many major concerns about the new government formed by the new President of United States, Barak Obama.
