and then.

Now the critism of Colin Powell’s position is transpiring, and the fact that he is a black man completely dictated his decision to officially endorse Barack Obama. Lets think clearly about this people. Colin Powell has nothing to gain from endorsing Senator Barack Obama. Powell holds the prestigious role of Secretary of State with an impeccable history of experience and leadership. He considers himself a Republican, and therefore initially supported John McCain. If anything, this switch would cause me to ask the question of “Why?” Why would he switch positions? Well, he explained it clearly and succinctly in his interview. McCain’s campaign has taken a negative turn for the worse focusing on trivial things. In addition, his choice for Vice President is further reason to question his ability to lead a country in this tumultuous time.
