1. Who gives a crap. If he endorses Obama,
the bigots will say it's because he's black. It is such a non-issue. Who cares!

2. For me he is still the biggest whore of the push to war.
His credibility was the nail in the coffin.

3. don't care
dude may have been thrown under the bus by BushCo., but he's said a lot of things since then that anger me. I think I'm angry most because I used to like him.

5. Neither.
To me at least, this seems like a publicity stunt to watch the show.

9. Powell has never done the right thing in his life when he had the choice to do so.
Past is prologue.

Why has he been so secretive up until now?

Colin Powell is the man who participated in covering up the murder of civilian women and children in Viet Nam. He was the chief architect to do the cover up.

Colin Powell is the same man who lied to the United Nations and who knew he was lying to take us to war in Iraq.

Colin Powell is the same man who gave the Taliban $43 Million just before the events of 9/11.

Colin Powell's son, Michael, helped facilitate the consolidation of the media allowing Rupert Murdoch and Clear Channel and Bush family friends to help kill independent radio, newspapers, television and magazines in our country.

Why would he now, after a career of choosing to side with white privileged power, veer off and do something noble, something patriotic?

And finally, why did he hold his decision up until now? What was the big deal in endorsing Obama?

I may be wrong, but I expect him to endorse his old Viet Nam buddy, McCain.

12. Colin Powell should just go away in shame
I respected the man until his day at the UN about Iraq. He knew he was lying to the world.

I even thought he might be the first minority POTUS or VPPOTUS at one time.
