As a Secretary of State he had every right to attend this convention. It's also not fair to compare Obama to him by using the "house negro" analogy. Obama has a long history of community activism and involvement with the African American community.the soul of japanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963740501337441097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38270111.post-33496863748732584122008-10-20T00:33:00.000-04:002008-10-20T00:33:00.000-04:00I think that Colin Powell's endorsement is signifi...I think that Colin Powell's endorsement is significant. Especially for when it comes to getting more Black Republicans to vote for Obama. Because of his status in this country, he will influence several undecided voters to swing Obama way. In addition, Powell served his country the best that he could. Even though, he went along with the war (a terrible mistake that he admits). Pres Bush would not implement his plan to pursue Iraq. The media are selective in what they report. So you won't read about his plans nor will you read about why he truly resigned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38270111.post-67775265721100621342008-10-19T13:07:00.000-04:002008-10-19T13:07:00.000-04:00I glad somebody recognizes this toothless lion for...I glad somebody recognizes this toothless lion for what he is.<BR/><BR/>Every one is running around like his endorsement was the last piece to the puzzle of Obama's election.clnmikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14823690965555263694noreply@blogger.com
