So should Powell be a part of Obama's cabinet?

[begin_within]

[justiceischeap]

1. No! I'm happy he endorsed but no, no, no. (eom)

[NMDemDist2]

2. he's 71, I don't think he'd be interested n/t

[polichick]

9. He didn't seem interested when asked - maybe he'll just be an unofficial advisor.

[Bjorn Against]

3. No. I appreciate his endorsement, but his performance before the UN should disqualify him.

[JustAnotherGen]

4. Nope

It would be taking a position from Wes or Richardson.

[madmax]

5. No n/t

[No Elephants]

6. NO. Maybe an ambassador at large kind of thing. He's very smart and smooth.

[glowing]

7. No.. He's older and retired and I'd think he'd like to stay that way.. perhaps,

he could do some good will tours.. or try and make ammends the Iraqi's he destroyed.. but really, he should be doing that anyway... horrible thing to take to one's maker..

[Diamonique]

8. No n/t

[lonestarnot]

10. HELL FUCKING NO!

[charlyvi]

11. Another no. n/t

[AlCzervik]

12. oh i don't think so.

[Phx_Dem]

13. No.

[KewlKat]

14. No

[Bippity Boo]

15. no thanks... and please, no General Petraeus, either.

I don't want to see either of them again

[Tammie]

16. absolutely no. nt

[Lyric]

17. No. Endorsement is one thing, but that's going a bit too far.

Putting him in Cabinet after the way he betrayed both us and the rest of the world would not send the kind of message that Obama wants--and it might deeply offend some of the nations we need to heal relations with.

[jwirr]

18. Absolutely not.

[blue_onyx]

19. No

[chieftain]

20. Hell no.

[JohnMcCant2008]

21. No No Hell No.

[dkofos]

22. NO Obama doesn't need a WAR CRIMINAL in his cabinet.

[ibegurpard]

23. nope

It would have shown true courage for the man to have spoken out when it would really have mattered. No he's making an endorsement when the wind is blowing against his former boss. I'll take the endorsement but that's it.

[DevonRex]

24. No. But if a discussion were about military strategy and tactics alone,

he might have some good advice.

Never about policy. Ever.

[Ichingcarpenter]

25. Thanks, but no thanks....

I'm sure Obama will bounce ideas off of him for his decision making process
but not use him in his cabinet.

[soothsayer]

26. No.

[Overseas]

27. Quid pro quo not necessary.

Don't want any promises made that can be used by Republicans to devalue the endorsement.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. No. And I'd be very surprised if Powell wanted a position.

I think he'd prefer to stay retired and out of the spotlight.

[S_E_Fudd]

29. Veteran's Affairs...

I could see him being a good advocate for vets...

[Lady-Damai]

30. Uh.....Hell NO! n't

[DeepBlueDem]

31. YES...

im his toilet cabinet with Liebermann

[pansypoo53219]

32. HELL FUCKIN NO

colon bowell has too much blood on his hands. plus georgee stank.

[The Magistrate]

33. No, Sir, Definitely, Not

[BlooInBloo]

34. Of course not. That's asinine.

[Beregond2]

35. FUCK NO!

[malik flavors]

36. Yes, he should. If not, he should atleast play a role in his administration.

[terrya]

37. No, nor would he accept an offer. I think Powell is done with government service.

[Lerrad]

38. No Way!

There is nothing anyone can say or do that would ever convince me that he would ever put our country first. In my book he is right up there with Bush, and always will be.

It is good that he endorsed Obama, but it will not set the record straight, and it never will.

Endorsing Obama doesn't matter, and will not undo what he did.

It is done, and he is done. He has no business in politics.
