Colin Powell endorsed Obama
Oct. 19th, 2008 10:17 pmColin Powell endorsed Obama. I may have to re-think my position.
I've always said that I wanted Powell to run for president, and that he could have gone well as either ticket's VP.
McCain is the best Republican we've had in a while so I'd like to support those leanings within the party, but the pickings have been pretty thin and I've been quite disgusted with the Republicans for some time. I've been most concerned about Obama's foreign policy, and worried that he'll decimate our military as Clinton unwisely did, but I have tremendous respect for Colin Powell and his ability to negotiate foreign relations. If Powell thinks he'll do a good job, who am I to disagree?
