He asked Powell to explain why he voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. Powell said that he did not agree with the economic policies put forward by other candidates. "In the last several years, I have been troubled by the right shift of the Republican party too far to the right," he added.

"Here's what perplexes me," O'Reilly began. "President Obama's economic plan hasn't worked among African-Americans."

"Why do you only see me as an African-American, Bill?" Powell responded. "That troubles me. I'm an American."

O'Reilly defended his question, noting Powell's criticism of the Republican party over minority voters. (Powell recently alleged that Republicans "look down on minorities," and went after the party's efforts to institute voter ID laws.)

Powell said that the economy has improved, but not enough. "Not for African-Americans, not for minorities," O'Reilly remarked. Powell went on to say that the economic situation of minorities would improve with the country's overall recovery.

O’Reilly is just one of the talking heads guarding the inhabitants of Bullsh*t Mountain from rejoining the world of the sane.  Fox News is a propaganda machine which dumbs down America by the day through disinformation and their slanted agendas.  See their anchors spewing forth ***** from their mouths in my visual homage to the network on my artist’s blog at   http://dregstudiosart.blogspot...dian-of-bullsht.html

Fox News has exposed itself as a shameless partisan scumbag determined to assail the president over anything and everything, and patriotism, national unity and the economy be ****ed.

Best, why do you care so much? I am really curious why it bothers you so much that President Obama claims his black heritage. He can do that if he wants to. If you met him as a stranger and knew nothing of his parentage, what would you assume his race was? If you answered honestly you and I both know you would see him as a black man. Nothing wrong with that either. He is a black man. He is also a mixed race man. I have rarely read or heard President Obama make that much of a deal about his race. I hear more from the right and those like you about his race. You seem very preoccupied with it.
