Colin Powell Reveals Why He Voted for Obama Twice in Contentious Interview With Bill O’Reilly

Colin Powell Reveals Why He Voted for Obama Twice in Contentious Interview With Bill OReilly

Fox News Channel

In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview on Tuesday, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly asked former Secretary of State Colin Powell how he could vote for President Barack Obama twice as a Republican.

Powell said it simply came down to the economic plans put forth by the Republican campaigns, which he says were not “suited for the times we were in.”

O’Reilly argued that Obama’s economic plan didn’t work in his first term at all. He also said the situation for African Americans and other minority groups has only gotten worse under the president.

“So you basically said to yourself I’m still going to support the guy even though his economic policies haven’t worked for African Americans and pretty much anyone else,” O’Reilly said, referring to Powell’s decision to vote for Obama a second time.

“Why do you only see me as an African American, Bill? That troubles me,” Powell shot back. “I’m an American.”

O’Reilly said he was referring to his complaints about the GOP not doing enough to cater to African Americans and minorities.

Powell and the Fox host also touched on voter I.D. laws and immigration policy.

Watch part one of the interview via Fox News:

The second part of the interview focused on former Mitt Romney surrogate and former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu calling Obama “lazy.” O’Reilly jabbed at Powell for previously hinting that it was possibly a racial “code word.”

“He said he was lazy after the first debate and he said it a couple of times,” Powell said.

“So what?” O’Reilly interjected.

Powell also took exception with Sununu saying Obama needs to learn how to be an American.

“You have to understand the impact this has on minorities throughout our country. And if you want to appeal to these people… you have to avoid this kind of language that infuriates people.” he said.

    Powell is a racist pure and simple. Voted for Obama because he is black not because he was the best choice. Maybe they are bath house buddies? Who knows

      IT IS INSANITY for anyone to believe the voting is not rigged — especially in FLORIDA, OHIO, INDIANA and PA. I don’t know how many people have to testify that they voted multiple places and were bussed in to vote more. POWELL is a sell-out. IF he really wanted AMERICA (not the entitlement state) he would have worked for that. WHATEVER. Maybe these guys have to fall on their own swords and I hope it’s not too late to “FIX AMERICA” when they are finished.

      I have one question I want someone to answer: IF OBAMA is HALF BLACK and HALF WHITE…why don’t people refer to him as WHITE??? Half and HALF…what makes him the first BLACK PRESIDENT? HE clearly is not. I think he’s the ANTI-CHRIST and just as in the LEFT BEHIND SERIES (while I don’t endorse all of what they say, especially once they run out of Revelations to guide them) I do believe that this is the one who “came out of no where” Mesmerized people and attempted to be the RULER of the WORLD. AGAIN…WHATEVER…if that is the case, that means Jesus is coming !!! MARANATHA. For all that Jesus did for us, for all the freedom we’ve had, for all we have and the beauty of the world – it’s just pitiful that people still choose to mock HIM and disbelieve in Him. The Jews who have figured it out are joyous ! May they all recognize Him as
      their Messiah very soon!! The rest of us? Get our houses (selves) in order. What an interesting time
      to be alive in!! BOO!! Obama, you don’t sc

      “Why do you only see me as an African American, Bill?”

      Well, probably because you keep popping-up as a “African American” critic of Republicans and sympathizer with liberals.

      I am a Republican because I vote for republicans. I switched to independent for a couple of years when wishy-washy, RINOs were being put forth. When Mitt Romney started to finally have an opportunity to speak and I learned more about his family, faithfulness, character, and humility, I registered Republican.

      If I had a chance to say something to Mr. Powell, it would be:

      “Sir, I believe you have stayed at this party too long, and it is time for you to go to where your friends are hanging out…

      .the Democrate Party.”

      Bill O’Reilly is a poor excuse of a journalist. He lied through his teeth in attempting to discredit those who know that Barry Soetoro (aka Barack H. Obama; Harrison J. Bounel) has been using a fraudulent SS# which was FLAGGED several times by E-Verify because it is indeed fraudulent. O’Reilly’s lie came when he said that Obama’s father procured the SS# when he lived in Conn. Barry nor Obama senior never lived in Conn. Obama is using a dead man’s number, one that the Social Scurity Administration has admitted was never issued to Barack H. Obama. O’Reilly could take down this FRAUD in Chief anytime he wanted to, his show has that kind of viewing. He is as big a fake a Colin Powell. O’Reilly could conduct an interview with Lt. Mike Zullo but he knows Zullo (the lead investigator for Sheriff Joe Arpaio) would destroy any of O’Reilly’s attempts to defend Obama’s forged birth certifcate and would force Americans to listen. O’Reilly thinks the Hawaiian “birth announcement” is his ace in the hole when in fact the address on those two birth announcements have an address in which no Durham ever lived.

      Colin Powell’s voting for Obama proves Powell was moved through the ranks because of the color of his skin. Anyone dumb enough to vote for Obama lacks an IQ not worthy of becoming a general in the military.

      Powell is a racist and voted for Obama because he’s a “brotha” just like him. He can spin it and say it was because Obama drove a nicer car or he likes Obama’s dog better, but the bottom line is he voted for Obama because he’s a racist, not unlike 90% of the blacks out there.

      First is because they are afraid to be called racist.

      The second is they are afraid of Colinoscopies.

      Powell shows himself to be the selfish affirmative action figure everyone in the military knew he was. He was a five star general with a zero star brain, who was pushed along due to his race much in the way the Great One was. They are two peas in a pod. That is why he supports the Great One. Two entitled morons much in the way royalty was once full of entitled morons.

Do I believe him a Christian. No. Do I believe him a good leader. No. do I believe he is pushing an agenda yes. Is he attempting to disarm. Yes. Can he trap shoot. Not likely. Does he think he is God… probably. Point is. Know both your friends and enemies inside and out so a rational decision can be made with logic and without emotion

      Gen. Powell isn’t a racist. Suggestions to the contrary are a little myopic at best. Colin Powell is a hero of mine for many reasons, and after this interview he still is.

      That said, I think that he joined the wrong party. He made several comments that place him firmly in the left-wing camp.

      Three examples; firstly suggesting that the lot of Americans in general, and minorities in particular, will be improved as the economy “spreads out more”. This is redistribution of wealth, or stated differently, high tax and entitlements.

      He complained about voter ID making it difficult for minority groups to vote. This is patently false and is a left-wing talking point

      He managed to carefully applaud Mr Obama regarding the management of the economy. With the USA staggering under an appalling level of debt created by the president, his comments left me shaking my head in disbelief.

      He stated that the GOP had shifted too far to the right, when in fact it seems, to me at least, to be gently drifting left and is standing on ground that used to be occupied by the democrats of yesteryear.

      He is still a hero of mine and I console myself with the fact that none of my heroes are perfect.

      And neither am I.

He is another affirmative action product that everyone labels as ‘being so smart,’ when in fact, average just appears to be smart because the mean is so low.

      He was racially fast promoted and had a padded resume, all the way.

So what if Colin now fits the stereotype for a typical black man. What’s wrong with that? Its the left who came up with the stereotype in the first place. Besides there are a lot of whites that voted for Barry, so Colin shouldn’t feel all dejected.

      I agree 100% with Rick. Powell is an extreme disappointment and a racist. Obama is the worst president in American history. If you voted for him, you are either a brain dead liberal moron or a black racist. Racism is alive and well in the hearts many blacks. I don’t see it in my day to day life because I associate with mostly libertarians & conservatives and I don’t tolerate evil people like most liberals. The conservatives I know are mostly color blind. It is the left that is obsessed with race and practice daily the racism of low to no expectations. The irony of where America is today is that, Republicans freed the blacks from being owned as property by Democrats only to have the Democrats enslave a growing number of people of all races with welfare. No one has done more to hurt blacks than Democrats and this President.

      Patty, your post was interesting, though I disagree with just one point. I don’t believe ‘that guy’ (I’m following Beck’ rule; I refuse to say or write his name) is the anti-christ. The anti-christ will deceive FAR more people than ‘this guy’ has. There are too many of us that hate ‘that guy’s’ policies and we are not fooled by him. The true anti-christ will fool many more than this guy.
      By your avatar, I’m assuming you’re Jewish? That’s great and I’m glad for your faith. I do believe we are witnessing maybe the last century or so before Jesus’ coming. I’m SO praying and waiting for that. I no longer want to be of this world nor do I want my kids growing up and entering what may be a burdensome existance. It’s only my faith that keeps me going at this point. But praise the Lord and may He come quickly!!

You guys hated that he bucked the party in one aspect so much that you didn’t support his reelection and he had to run and win as an Independent. Colin Powell on the other hand, supports almost no conservative policies and even twice supported the presidential candidate of the other party and you’re not SHOCKED that the right is annoyed at him?

      Powell has turned to the “Dark Side”, since the “Great Uniter”
      has taken the Country back to the 50′s……97% of BLACKS
      voted for King O’Blamer, and they call us RACIST…Funny,
      if YOU aren’t BLACK and didn’t vote O’Blamer your RACIST..
      I believe while campaigning he promised to unite the Country.
      just one of his countless lie’s.. HMMMMM ?? O’Lie and Lie and
      lie………………………..there’s no end to it, TOTAL BS !!!!!!!!!!

      “The simple truth is minorities sympathize and side with other minorities.” — That’s why old white men voted for Romney. Fortunately, the “old” part means you will all die off soon.

      I had respect for Powell during the war. However, he took a major turn afterwards. He started supporting Obama and he continues to now. Obama has not done a thing for the Black people or the White. The only thing he has done is put this country in a tailspin. The way he lies over and over again makes me wonder about the man’s sanity. He got in bed with China and hocked America to the hilt. What is wrong with that man? Makes me wonder about Powell.

      I had respect for Powell during the war. That all changed afterwards. He linked up with Obama and since that time he hasn’t been the same. Obama has hocked the USA to China. We will never overcome that.
      The people that voted for Obama got what they deserved. Enjoy the ride.

      Powell, like Rubio, is the son of immigrants and still thinks tribal — and America ain’t his tribe. We see this phenomenon played out daily here in Mexifornia where the California-born sons and daughters of “immigrants” think more about the old country and their tribe, than they do America and Americans. They vote in the interest of their tribe, not in the interest of this, their, country.

      The reason mixed breed black and white’s are refered to as black is because that’s what they are.

      Like if I had a clean shirt and a completely filthy shirt, one is clean one is filthy.

      Now if that clean shirt got some dirt on it would it still be clean or would it be dirty?

      A person can’t be white unless they are white. Anything else is non-white. Just how it is. So don’t anyone get all pissed off cause they don’t like reality.

      @ CISH60: I’m a Catholic (convert about 11 years ago – just months before 9/11 and after several trips to Jerusalem…it is my ROCK. The saddest thing about what is going on now is that those of us who can connect the dots and “HEAR” and “SEE” and who have lived a few years is the CONDITION we see our PRECIOUS COUNTRY in now. I trust you’ve seen other posts by me that say “Only 5% of all people who have ever lived on this Planet have lived in FREEDOM…which means that GOD truly gave us America (for the right to worship as we see fit). Look what they’ve done to it!! EVERY thing that makes AMERICA wonderful has been stomped on by users, entitlement freaks, atheists, people who have no understanding or appreciation of the MIRACLE that has been AMERICA.
      Our job, as Christians and followers of the Creator of the Universe, GOD, is to keep sharing the Gospel as we know it, invite others to come to know the Savior that we know. Who knows how long this is going to go on, but just focus on Him and let it roll the way it rolls …HE is totally in Charge and I believe in Romans 8:28 !!

      Well, he hasn’t switched YET to the Dems ’cause he “grew up” under the pro-military administrations. There were many stories of him running as Bush II’s VP, but the real story was that his wife was worried about threats against him and also she’s a big lib and was nearly hysterical that he would run as a Rep. The writing’s on the wall — read between the lines — he is laying the groundwork to run for Prez as a “moderate” Democrat. I think it’s quite obvious.

    It really is amazing how Obama has managed to polarize this country in a manner that is far worse than anything Reconstruction had to offer. This man had the opportunity to bring this country together racially had he had the desire to do so. Imagine a black man with a sense of humor, compassion, self-effacing demeanor, common sense, Christian outlook and intelligence. To watch a man like Powell resort to the pathetic whining tactics of Obama is disgusting beyond words.

When he was elected in spite of my grave concerns about his “record” and lack of experience and the many promises he made while campaigning (I’ll make electricity too expensive to afford, I’ll kill the coal mining business, this country needs and internal army) – I hoped he would be the one to settle racial differences once and for all. That maybe he WAS the “brilliant” person the leftists think he is. I am utterly distressed by who he really is and what he had done to our country. The issue of race alone, once nearly dead, is more alive than ever in my 63 year long life. Terribly sad.

    so the ‘Republican’ wants everyone to be careful of ADJECTIVES they use because they might ‘infuriate’ some people? That’s almost a verbatim definition of PC, whereby the Left continue to THINK the same way about people who are different, but use flowery language to hide their prejudice.

    I would have respected the general if he had simply admitted that he put precedence over policy in choosing Obama the first go round… instead he LIED about the ‘economic policy’ which has not helped and continues to hurt all Americans, but the General apparently cannot step back, admit he was wrong, and be critical AT ALL of the administration.

    he was disinenuous in his attempts to paint O’Reilly as a racist, instead falling back upon tired arguments used by race batiers to paint others as being biased…

    truly sad. but not surprising, after his decisions and his recent willing use as a shill for Obama.

    The african is a DEMOCRAT, not a Republican. If his excuse is to vote for Marxist redistributionist policy’s than he never was a R.

      Correction Mr. Pow-wow, YOU African Americans are the ones who made such a HUGE DEAL about being african american and wanting your “rights” (and free phones as well.) The vast majority of us white folks have always wanted to see you (black folks) as a human being. But hey, if you want to make race so imperative then you better be able to handle it when it also doesn’t help in floating your boat. Moreover, if you would rather be seen a color rather than a man, well hell, who are we to stop you from that? As always, stupidity breeds stupidity…

      This is how people behave when the Feds judge people by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character. Affirmative Action!

      Damn Soy we freaking get it already you think Ron Paul was the best candidate ever(not). The dude was only going to get 2% of the vote and I honestly don’t believe a legalize all drugs policy was quite the way to go. But back to the first point we get it you think he is the messiah and that is cool and all but do you have to allude to it in every post? I mean can’t you just agree that if the republicans had run a goat against oblamo it would have been a better candidate and leave it at that?

    Colin Powell voted for Obama twice because he is a ( bi-racial – wink, wink ) black man . The Democrat higher-ups chose Barack Obama precisely for that reason and the fact that he came packaged with a strong black woman with Chicago political ties, had only daughters , who always voted ” present ” in the Senate , and was part of the Chicago crowd.

      The same reason that there is the big push for Hillary in 2016.
      If you choose to not vote for them, it’ll be because you “don’t support the oppressed”.

      Heard that **** way too often these past two elections.

      oh my no- ‘incompetent’ when referring to a person of minority class is also a code word. What happened to the melting pot and the classless society? I think lazy and incompetent should be code words for the political class that has been created.

      It’s not years that matter, but dollars. Reparations!
      If YT(who outnumbers the black) would just clean out their pockets, turn over the keys to their house and cars. Maybe even throw in their good-looking wives and daughters, and go live in a cave, somewhere. Maybe, just maybe all would be forgiven! It’s that simple. YT owes them the whole d*mn country because they were sold by their fellow blacks out of that h*ll hole called Africa.

    I saw the interview. I was appalled that he did not think voters should show an id. Now I know why they call him the “Political General” another one that got to where he is by the color of his skin.

      I have a good friend, I have know him for decades, but he is very far left. When it comes to voter ID, he goes off, screaming about how racist that is,and voter suppression. I simply have asked him, if I have to show an ID, have a background check to exercise my 2nd amendment right, why shouldn’t I also need to show an ID to vote? He has no answer for that, and always goes back to liberal talking points. But he really is a nice guy.

      Darmok…..
      Then ask him (I’m assuming he/she is for gun control) how the gangs’ guns will be confuscated? Will armed DHS agents kick in doors at housing projects where there is no record of a registered gun? I think not!

      Back to topic…..
      That’s the trouble with the socialist/racist left. They have no trouble with confusing voter-eliibility checks with racism.
      I had posted here many times for the past 1-1/2 years to read “Injustice”, by J Christian Adams. The book explains just how corrupt the Holder/Obama DOJ has become. Illegal votes were rampant in at least the last two elections. Why in he** do you think those judges denied states the right to verify voter eligibility?
      Ou elections have become no better than third-world elections as in Venezuela.

      We just had a major “Discussion” over gun control, he is for outright confiscation and banning of all guns. When I told him “You do know I have a conceal carry?” He about lost his mind.

      What kills me is that he could be identified as a white man… it always boggles my mind that they never see the white part of themselves and Powell is way more white than he is black.. I don’t hear him ever standing up for the white part of himself have any of you??

      The elections are tainted, as B O ‘s peops not only have control of the pollers (see Dick Morris’s columns on this last fall b4 election) so that any outcome is “expected” but changing the polling machines’ code is Programming 101 (I know this from experience) — google the NASA programmer who testified before Congress I think in ’04 about the FL race in which he was told to change the code by his manager. Maxine Waters was very interested in how they did this! BTW, Soros bought several of these companies who OWN the polling machine companies….we will never win again, at least until we go to the Iraq way of voting — ONE finger stained in ink — ONE vote. Google also the Milwaukee police reports — 60 PAGES LONG — of complaints of VOTER FRAUD, especially the buses pulling up to the precincts with obviously non-residents — they not only voted once, but all of them circled right back around and voted again — when residents tried to video this action, they called the police and told them that the residents were trying to keep them from voting….THE VOTING IS RIGGED.
