Republicans, at some point, are going to have to do something, he says.
It's time to get past the incessant partisan potshots being taken at President Obama and forge some progress, Colin Powell told Face the Nation today. "I don’t think the country will be well served if the next three years are attempts to bring him down and destroy him as a political figure," said the Republican, who added that "Americans will want to see some progress" and said he doesn't regret voting for Obama in 2008.
I agree - it IS time to lay off Obama. Lay him off with no unemployment benefits, no White House, no motorcade, no Secret Service, and no access to any sort of legislative agenda ever again.

100% agree with Colin Powell. The partisan bashing needs to stop if we are going to ever see any progress during the remainder of Obama's presidency. I'm so disappointed with many of my fellow conservatives for the childish attacks on Obama.

It's precisely the "progress" that Obama intends that scares the heck out of the rest of us. Wake up! You're being lulled to sleep by the rhetoric.

maybe there has been partisanship because we are going in the wrong direction, with out of control spending, uncontrolled illegal immigration, open borders with overt war aggression, and a lack of focus or direction.
when a country is in economic trouble, it should be focusing on jobs and not "benefits". it is disgraceful to use a health care "bribe" to get this country off focus on what they really need to focus on, which is employment in this country. that is where the "income" part comes in for both the government and the private sector. it is interesting that the one thing they have gotten through now is a jobs bill with a tax break for hiring, and i think that says something.
people with jobs can pay their mortgage, pay their taxes, contribute to the economy, and help grow the economy. people without jobs will just increase the social service demand and increase those expenses, as we are seeing now, and that is a bad spiral downward.

Gee, and it is only the conservatives that bash? The liberals haven't attacked and bashed anything the other party has presented, have they?
I agree, progress will only be made by a joint effort, not by blaming one side or the other exclusively.
