Did anyone notice the crowd at that roast yesterday?

Did people stand up when JM approached the dais? I noticed that the 'unbiased' were knocking chairs over to give BO a standing O.

I really didn't pay attention to it because, as one commentator lamented, "People are losing their homes, jobs and money and these two are joking about it.

I did catch the clip of JM on the Less-than-man Show and the look on Dave's face when JM told him he was going to pay more in taxes.

ANd what is the "John", instead of "Senator" trip that everyone is on?

I can hardly wait to see Dave falling over himself to interview Senator O-blah-ma

A bitter pill to swallow hey, Richard. LOL. Better get a bigger glass of water.

What are you talking about?

Merely observational tidbits. I do wat humble pie every once in a while, It's not bad for me and teaches me to read the menu a little closer.

Everyone should try some, It really won't kill you.

I'll give the tax breaks to people who do work...."


Uh, If you don't work you don't pay taxes.

Well, Colin Powell just endorsed Obama on Meet the Press! I think this is the final nail in the McCain/Palin coffins.

I know, some folks are going to say it is an ethnic vote, African American/black endorsing African American/black. Both men are not 100% AA.

I think I may not have to move from the USA in November, as threatened. I have time to wait, and there is still a possibility that the outcome will be different than what I hoped for, but ..... we shall see.

Note to self: Cancel the moving company for November.....

I tuned in to the program, just as he made that announcment. Didn't
see the whole interview, but I'll check it out later on the news website.

Just saw the entire interview. Wow. It was a very well thought out
opinion and given flawlessly by Colin Powell. I believe there are many other
well respected Republicans who agree with him. Great interview. Links

So CP's endorsement is worth what?

One vote? His own?

To even suggest that it's an "ethnic thing" smacks of a little "Racecardism".
Everyone screams about it when they THINK some makes a statement that might be racist, But it's quite O.K. to come out suggest it and then bring in BO's and CP's background.


Amazing.

Thanks for posting that Lizbud I have always respected Colin Powel he is a very intelligent man and now he can be an ally to Obama to help mend our relations with the world...its all good.

Actually, Cp is a man I would have crossed party lines to vote for as Prez.

(not in this election, but in previous campaigns)

Actually, Cp is a man I would have crossed party lines to vote for as Prez.

Me too, because he seems to have a little more substance than one of the current choices, but he also has goals.

CP's endorsement comes late in the game and has to be looked at as a push for a cabinet slot. No problem there. We have already had men and women as SofS and they have made some in roads for our foreign policy. CP won't make that much of a dent or a difference. Now, if he was GORT- from the Day the Earth Stood Still-I'd have to say he'd kick some foreign arse.

It's a slow news day when a retired military officer steals the news for his one vote for president.

This place is getting more fun by the minute! What a pity I have to go to work and miss some of it.
