Former Secretary of State General Colin Powell Announced Sunday His Support for Barack Obama for President

Well who the hell didn’t know this one was coming!!!?

For those of you who didn’t know for sure. Yes... Colin Powell is a Republican. And yes... he was Secretary of State under President Bush from 2001 to 2005.

With that said... my take on Powell’s endorsement of Obama is this...

My full respect for Powell went straight out the window on Sunday when I heard the news. Here, for the first time in my life, I finally saw a side of General Colin Powell that I had never seen before. On Sunday... I saw Powell put COLOR FIRST over HIS COUNTRY!!!

GOD HELP US...

No other words needed...

Is it about race?
Only one person knows for sure…and that’s Powell.
Powell claims that he’s not happy with the “rightward shift” of the Republican party.
Any merit in his accusation???
Listen to Republican Senator Michelle Bachmann

So...what do you think??. Is Powell just imagining things?

My Take: Powell puts COLOR FIRST over HIS COUNTRY

Yes, I do believe Powell came down to his final decision to go out and endorse Obama on Color... not what is good for the country.

I’ve been asked if I heard Powell’s words as to why he supports Obama over McCain and I answer those of you with a YES.

My take is a simple one. Powell never once gave me one good reason why he thought Obama was qualified to be Commander in Chief and the next President of the United States. In my opinion, NOT ONE!!!

Again, in my opinion, General Colin Powell gave us nothing more than excuses as to why he supports Obama. Not once did he give us anything Obama has achieved for this country... not once did Powell say what qualifications... what experience Obama has to run ANYTHING... no less the most powerful country in the world.

Simply put... Obama has run nothing in his life except his mouth, folks. That is the god’s truth. And Powell knows it!!!

General Powell is a very, very smart man... and when he comes out giving excuses, Dem talking points... and no sound reasons as to what makes Obama the man to vote for... I can find only a few reasons that make any sense to me. And on Sunday... the most obvious one I saw was... Powell put COLOR FIRST over HIS COUNTRY!!!

HELL... It’s been polled that 80% of all black men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces are voting for Obama too!!! OF COURSE it’s ABOUT COLOR!!! (Yet I would say that these brave men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces are putting their country first, just by their service to it... but I think maybe most of these young people haven’t really thought out just what a vote for Obama... and if he goes and wins... will do to this country and them. Powell on the other hand is much older, wiser and well seasoned... He knows better!!!)

I’ll end with this. Yes... Powell’s endorsement may make the MSM pause and reflect... even cheer that Powell actually took it to the Republican Party... But I think in the end... ‘Joe the Plumber’ has had many times more of an influence on this election than Powell’s sorry excuse of an endorsement will ever have. I also think ‘Joe the Senator’, Obama’s running mate... who made a big slip over this past weekend, helped the Republican Party and Senator McCain way more than a Powell’s endorsement ever could.
