Powell Expresses Concerns Over Obama’s Packed Agenda - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com

July 3, 2009, 10:32 am Powell Expresses Concerns Over Obama’s Packed Agenda

By Kate Phillips

In an interview to be broadcast this Sunday on CNN, former secretary of state Colin Powell said that he had recently cautioned Obama administration officials about taking on way too many costly initiatives that were causing the nation’s debt to spiral.


Prompted by a clip from his 1996 speech to the Republican National Convention, in which he promoted limited government and limited taxes, Mr. Powell — who broke with his party and endorsed President Obama in the election last year — offered his concerns about the new administration’s multi-pronged agenda in an economic downturn.

A little late for "concerns". Powell has already squandered his credibility on this Hack in Chief, he will have to "lie in it" from now on no doubt.

I thought the republicans, the conservatives, the neocons, and Limbaugh had disowned Powell and told him to go sit with the Democrats.

Now they're quoting him? And sourcing the NYT to boot?

Maybe these really are the End Times...

Way to generalize and stereotype! You talk as if you think you know me...

I am not a Republican, Conservative or Neocon... I am independent and have voted for more Democrats than Republicans in my 15 voting years...

You should be embarrassed for yourself and Democrats that you have all turned into such hateful generalizing closed minded bigots...
