Re: !!!!!!!Colin Powell Endorses OBAMA !!!!!!!!

I think it's trite to say CP endorses Obama because of race. I got emotional watching Obama give his acceptance speech in front of that big crowd in Chicago in 2008...because I knew the next four years were going to be disastrous, given his platform for getting elected...(just kidding) I got emotional because I understood the historical significance of that moment. I felt the same emotion when he was inaugurated.

Cmon guys, offer something more substantial than the dismissive "it's because he's black". I agree with Stew, you can't have it both ways to say you're offended when someone accuses you of racism because you don't support Obama. There are many reasonable reasons to disagree with Obama and to disagree with CP's endorsement.

And his endorsement won't matter. 99% of America has made up their mind. The 1% that hasn't is still trying to decide if New Coke or Coke Classic is better.
