“Stop with the Collin Powell attack. At best he is a go along to be a player person. Don’t piss off one of your best allies! Powell did what he had to do to be the first black person to get to all of the positions he got to. He did not keep his chief of staff for all the years if they were not on the same page. Don’t piss him off, he is on your side.
You are 5* but sometimes we seem to be in a circular firing squad for anyone that is not perfect. Yes we need to move the left to the left, but when there is someone that is leaning left from a difficult position, don’t bleeping cut their knees out. Stop attacking the middle, it will move, if the people move. We need to move those just outside of the middle, attacks on Powell will get them to dig in their heels. As a black man he gave up and turned the other cheek a lot to get where he got.
It should have been a non story. His number 1 has dished out all of the dirt and reasons that their needed to be. You fell into the partisan trap, you are either good or bad. We know who the bad guy are. Yes we did some horrible things in those times. But he never flipped and now he is gone. So what is the point in pointing out what he did that he was directed to do. There is no one in Bush or Chenny’s staff that has come out with any remorse. Powell’s number 2 did. That deserves a little.
You do a lot of really good work.”
