National Black Repub Party / Obama Disagrees With "colin Powell"
One the heels of General Colin Powell's surprising endorsement of Senator Barack Obama, a video was uncovered in which Obama makes the shocking confession that he, Obama, does not have the experience or qualifications to be president of the United States and, thus, the leader of the free world.
In spite of the efforts by the liberal media to denigrate Governor Sarah Palin, a comparison of the experiences of Obama with Palin shows that Palin is better qualified to be president than Obama.

Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, has put him at odds with his own son, former Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Michael Powell.
Michael Powell, who served as a policy adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney, is a surrogate for John McCain and represents the GOP nominee on the campaign trail.
He endorsed McCain early in the Republican primary in January, and said the Arizona senator was the best candidate to “calm the turbulent economic waters and to steer the new economy in a direction that will bring growth, opportunity and prosperity to all Americans.”
Powell contributed $1,000 to McCain the day of the Iowa caucuses and another $1,000 before the Florida primary. In August, he defended McCain, who had said he rarely uses the Internet, as someone who “understands technology very well” from his time as chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Technology.
Powell was not available Monday for comment.
His father, Colin Powell, has long been a friend of McCain’s, and in endorsing Obama, the senior Powell broke with the Republican establishment.
Colin Powell supported McCain’s 2000 presidential campaign, and McCain promised then to name Powell as secretary of State, a position Powell would later hold under President Bush.
But Powell said he was impressed by Obama’s steadiness, intellectual curiosity and depth of knowledge. He called McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, unready to become president in case of emergency.
Liberal and conservative commentators alike declared the former secretary of State’s endorsement a major boost for Sen. Obama (D-Ill.).
The younger Powell, however, who still has much of his career in front of him, has lined up solidly behind McCain. If McCain becomes president he could appoint Powell to several administration positions.
Michael Powell served as chairman of the FCC under Bush from 2001 to 2005. During his tenure he advocated for bigger fines to punish obscenity and indecent content.
Most famously, the FCC under Powell fined Viacom, the owner of CBS, $550,000 for Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” during the 2004 Super Bowl.
He has addressed the media as a technology adviser to McCain’s campaign, and told National Public Radio in August that McCain has the experience to help create the economic and social conditions for tech businesses to thrive.
Michael Powell serves as senior adviser of Providence Equity Partners and rector of the board of visitors of the College of William and Mary. He also serves on the boards of Cisco Systems, ObjectVideo and the Rand Corporation.
He served under Cheney during former President George H.W. Bush’s administration, when Cheney held the position of Defense secretary.
Colin Powell served as chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff under George H.W. Bush and national security adviser to former President Ronald Reagan.

"The FCC fines stations for radio broadcasts with alleged indecency, including Howard Stern's radio show.
Michael Powell, FCC chairman, talked about Howard Stern on September 10, 2004 on a Fox News program, "Your World with Neil Cavuto."
Howard Stern responded during his September 13, 2004 radio broadcast.
Howard Stern pointed out that Michael Powell is the son of the Secretary of State, Colin Powell, implying nepotism.
Howard Stern also pointed out that Michael Powell refuses to issue a clear definition of "indecency" or to take the issue to court to let the court decide."
"Howard Stern said Powell is a hypocrite for not fining Oprah Winfrey for sexual language on her show."
Fuzo why you would quote anything about Micheal Powell and try to depict him in any kind of a positive light is beyond me and is just down right silly. I think if you going to just cut and paste information you should at least know a little something about the people you are referring to. Micheal Powell was so not qualified for this job and clearly it was just handed to him. He used his job as head of the FCC to carry out personal vendettas. The man could never ever give a clear definition of "indecency" and fined radio stations and personalities at whim
He was quoted with saying that Oprah was not fined for talking about vagina's on her show just because she was Oprah yet Howard Stern was fined out the wahzoo.
“Don't worry about life, you're not going to survive it anyway.”

And you defend Micheal Powell and actually think he was good or earned his job? Tell me how he got that job? I am so sure he worked hard up through the ranks.
