Colin Powell: Obama blew away the birthers

[one...two...tree 2,762]

ORANGEBURG, S.C. – Colin Powell told graduates of South Carolina's premier historically black university that they were graduating during a tumultuous time that saw a royal wedding, a pope's beatification and a U.S. military assault that killed Osama bin Laden, "the worst person on earth."

But the former secretary of state and Joint Chiefs chairman told South Carolina State University's 400 graduates on Friday that he particularly enjoyed another recent event: "That was when President Obama took out his birth certificate and blew away Donald Trump and all the birthers!"

The stadium roared in approval of Powell's comments on the president's move last week to quell the doubts of those who don't believe he was born in Hawaii. The retired Army four-star general endorsed Obama's 2008 presidential bid.

The title of this thread is demeaning toward the former Secretary of State under President Bush, and toward the current President. Perhaps you could ask one of the mods to edit the title for you.

Timing was perfect. You build momentum and really make it stick that way. The Donald has entirely gone off air since. They even timed the release of the OBL news perfectly interrupting the Donald's show. He's done. Oh, he's so done. Not that he ever intended to run for President - he just took the idiot faction of the GOP for a hilarious ride. And then he was thoroughly ridiculed. And this time not for this pathetic hairpiece of his but for what's under it.

Because they wen't 100% sure either.

IN fact one of the latest polls showed only 38% of Americans were "certain" Obama was a Natural born Citizen.

So I guess Obama blew away trump and nearly two thirds of the American people.

Now, is that gangsta talk, or do we need to speculate how many kneepads the CIC went through during this gastronomic feat?

Keep telling yourself that, Danno. The Donald - and you - were left standing there with yer pants down.

Say it ain't so! I thought it was ten or twelve individual hairs (each six feet long) artfully arraged to look like a hairpiece. I assumed the Donald spent hours a day with a stylist. The thought of Trump pulling on a haripiece like some hat in the morning seems so..... common.

I don't know whether it's a piece or some tortured remains of what he used to have on his head. I don't really care either.

I said from the beginning that Obama could end it at any time. The Obama @ss lickers all said he was strong and brave for not giving in to the nuts. Then he gave in to the nuts and when I said he was coward and spineless, then the same people told ME that I couldn't make up my mind.

It was an interesting demonstration anyway.

The release of the BC had nothing to do with spine. You said it did but that simply doesn't make it so.

Right, for my attacking Trump, or for being disrespectful towards rich bald guys?
