Powell’s endorsement of Obama does not verify Obama’s judgement, but rather brings Powell’s judgement into question. Powell says that Obama is ready to lead … WHY? … Regardless of Powell’s last minute endorsement, Obama is still the most liberal senator in congress … who accomplished nothing in his meager 3 years in office, except voting present 160 times, and campaigning for President, as well as associating with anti-American racists and domestic terrorists … and, taking America down the road to socialism. I used to respect Colin Powell … but, now that’s history!!!

I'm sayin' that for Obama's own good, General Powell ought not to endorse the Senator. Powell's track record in judging the quality of character of those he associates with is not going to helpful. Furthermore. Powell needs Obama more than the other way around.

It will lead the news no doubt, but Powell did himself so much damage – on all levels – during his disgraceful 2003 United Nations presentation on Iraq, I think the impact will be minimal.

It does not matter. because 45% of the people still don’t trust Obama and think he is not qualified. and most people don’t rely on endorsements. For your information Powell donated to McCain in 2007.

It’s not going to matter anyway because people will just think he is endorsing him because of their race, not because he thinks he can do the job.

Think what you want.

Here are my two observations vis a Powell endorsement of BHO:

1.The endorsement will prove that the Obama campaign is essentially about race and the mining of racist emotions across America: or,

2. Powell expects some sort of personal reward – senior cabinet appointment at the least – for publicly giving his support to Obama.

[...] McCain loses one today as we’re one day away from a potentially game changing endorsement on Sunday. [...]
