Gen Colin Powell Endorses Obama
Powell's remarks reflected his training and experience as a General Officer in selecting senior officers for command positions. Selection is not a matter of personal like or dislike, but rather a matter of who is best suited for the unique requirements of the position.
Check out this excerpt:
Reporter: Sir, what part did McCain's negativity play in your decision, the negative tone of the campaign?
Powell: It troubled me. We have two wars. We have economic problems. We have health problems. We have education problems. We have infrastructure problems. We have problems around the world with our allies. So those are the problems the American people wanted to hear about, not about Mr. Ayers, not about who's a Muslim or who's not a Muslim. Those kinds of images going out on Al-Jazeera are killing us around the world.
Read also his dismissal of the negativity of the campaign and how he gives the back of his hand to the taxes and socialism arguments.
