It’s Official: Colin Powell Endorses Obama
Sunday, October 19th, 2008In what’s been called the most major Republican crossing of party lines, Colin Powell has officially endorsed Barack Obama on Meet the Press this morning.
“I must say, he seemed a little unsure about how to approach the problem,” Powell said of McCain.
“He didn’t have a complete grasp of the economic problems we have.”
According to the Washington Post, “Powell also expressed concerns about McCain’s selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. ‘I don’t believe she’s ready to be President of the United States, which is the job of vice president,’ Powell said, adding that it raised ’some questions in my mind’ about McCain’s judgment.”
Wow. I recall some of my conservative family members, coworkers and even friends mentioning to me that they would vote for Colin Powell if he ever ran for President. This makes me wonder what they feel now that he’s endorsing a Democratic nominee?
As the Washington Post said best, this endorsement gives Obama the credibility and TRUST that a lot of conservatives have been trying to take away from him.
Please make sure you vote on November 4th!
