I hope Colin Powell will be in Barack Obama's cabinet if he becomes President.

@townsend316 Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Clarence Thomas. Crispus Attucks.

Frederick Douglass. Thurgood Marshall. Booker T. Washington. Hell, even Malcolm X.

@CloeBuckingham Sad is not the word. If he is a uncle tom, what is a real black man?

[CloeBuckingham]

Powell got promoted for being the toady of powerful white men. He was asked to whitewash the massacre at My Lai and did it. He is the ultimate token black, Uncle Tom, and chump. Bush used him at the UN before the Iraq invasion. That WMD fiasco destroyed Powell's credibility. Probably Powell endorsed Obama because he resents having been used by Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. But Secretaries of State with real accomplishments, like Kissinger, endorse McCain.

Reagan and Thatcher used to taIk about PERSONAL RESPONSlBlLlTY. They were great Ieaders, because they encouraged peopIe to heIp themseIves rather than to Iook for handouts.

Obama represents a false and unworkable system whereby the have-nots are encouraged to get ahead--not by studying hard and working hard--but by electing Robin Hood-type characters. All these Obamahoods require is votes. "You vote for me, and I'll rob him and give the 'wealth' to you."

Vote OBAMA-BIDEN 08'

You know what's funny. Powell may actually vote for the Republicans again. You just never know. Perhaps he is simply being diplomatic. How will anybody know for sure what private vote he makes. He may never disclose details of his vote anyway. The question is, who is better prepared to lead the country out of its present economic turmoil. Forget the issues of racial back ground. Who will make the USA a better and more safe place to live and improve the US image and relations with the Arab world

What if McCain were to receive 92% of the white vote... bpmdeejays-dot-com ...Search for Harlem... Cut and Paste this link showing the results of an interview with some residents of Harlem. They claim to support Obama, but they ALL agree on McCain's poilicies. Oh yeah, they also support Palin as Obama's VP candidate.... NO LIE. I'm not smart enough to make this up... check it out yourself...

when blacks folks were given permission to vote and have voted against Jackson and Sharpton for the white candidates elections after elections they weren't racists then but now that they are voting for Obama they are racists now?

what gives?

[FinsterFlummoxing]

Gen. Colin Powell had an insiders view of the last 8 years of Republican malfeasance at the executive level.

After having his trust betrayed by the neoconservative regime, he's endorsing Obama.

I suspect he knows that McCain would be 4 more years of the same thing!

I believe this will put Obama over the top. I don't see anyway that McCain can win now.

Although, early voting on DIEBOLD machines shows that George W. Bush leads both Obama and McCain in the state of Florida by double digits.

yumabilal...you are very right, I mean Powell was as Republican as they came, but at a time like this, there is so much more at stake and he realizes that party affiliation alone is not what this election should be based on. He became tired of being a scapegoat and he left because he didn't want to disgrace his party, that's how humble he was to that party. But glory be to God, he has seen the light, and has excercised his right to vote. That's America best gift to us all!!! Let's use it wisely!
