Powell: Obama 'blew away' Trump and his 'birthers'
Colin Powell, the Republican Secretary of State, made news in 2008 when he endorsed Barack Obama, and now he's making news for his comments Friday about one of President Obama's fiercest critics: Donald Trump.

Namely, how Obama "blew away" Trump and others who challenged Obama's U.S. citizenship by producing his "long form" birth certificate.

During his commencement address at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, S.C., Powell cited the recent string of news: The royal wedding, the beatification of Pope John Paul II, and the killing of "the worst person on earth," Osama bin Laden.

But the retired general and George W. Bush administration official confessed he had a favorite event: "That was when President Obama took out his birth certificate and blew away Donald Trump and all the birthers!"

1. Nothing Powell says can make up for his slimy lying history.

2. I am inclined to agree but you know how easy it is to go from zero to Hero here
with merely a few good words about President Obama.

And, vice versa.

4. If only Colin Powell had done the same to Bush
Instead of parroting every lie he was told to propagate.

5. Nah,
getting bin Laden was just a cover up to divert attention from the fake long form birth certificate.

The ever widening conspiracy continues... Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of All My Wackos.

6. Hah, you should have seen the thread where the freepers caught wind of it.
Oh, how they yowled. They really, really hate being held up to public ridicule like this, after casting themselves as the only true heirs of the Founding Fathers and Real 'Murcah.
