But he learned well and he can pull out that experience in a heartbeat, if need be, but only if need be. <br /><br />Time and time again, they think they've 'got him' and he just dances around them. It happens over and over again where they play the short game, and Obama plays the long game, and in time, Obama turns out repeatedly to have been the winner all along, though he let the GOP think they were, until it hits them that they've been brilliantly played by Obama's 9th Dimension chess game.

Although I really don't think he stuck his neck out that far, everyone knew he supported Obama in 2008.<br />And way back when, (2000) all the Rethug conservatives thought Powell was the perfect choice for secretary of state, what could be their argument against him now?? (Except that he's gone over to the dark side, and I DON'T mean that to be a bad racial pun!) You know what I mean!<br />Rove, Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld set Powell up for sure. They sent him before the U.N. with his vile of uranium (which it really wasn't) to convince the U.N. that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. He didn't. But they sent Powell out there to be the patsy, because everybody believed everything Powell had to say. They used the man, pure and simple. He finally, thankfully, realized that in 2005 and resigned.<br />Bottom line: Obama get Powell on board. Let's hear the conservatives twist this around!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
