Colin
Powell's endorsement of Obama was a surprise to absolutely nobody, well
not me anyway. I will not be surprised to learn at some future
date that it was choreographed by Obama himself for maximum
impact, and it does have that, because a lot of people see Powell as a
brilliant warrior, and a Republican.
He is no Norman Schwarzkopf, and his instincts were
often dangerously wrong. But, he was/is a ruthless bureaucratic
infighter which is what it takes, alas. As Sec/State he was also,
well, disloyal. He was, and is, a pussy. A disloyal
pussy. Powell's stated reason for supporting Obama?
Well, pretty much the same reason those Harlem folks so eloquently expressed. He sees Obama as a "transitional figure." That's it. Boy, he would be that. I wonder if Colon approves of Obama's choice of Sarah Palin as Vice President?
