I came home from church today and found out that Colin Powell is endorsing Barak Obama on Meet the Press. This is a a major development! Powell is a Republican. And he was part of the George W. Bush administration. I admire Powell because although he was mislead into supporting the war in Iraq because he believed that there really were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, he resigned when he found out there were not. Further, he has never tried to cover up the fact that he thought the war was neccessary and that he was wrong. He is well-respected by both political parties and the military. I'm glad that Colin Powell had the honesty to break party lines and endorse the candidate that he thought is best.
