Breaking News: Colin Powell endorses Barack Obama.
Is this really a surprise? We all knew he was going to endorse Barack Obama because he is black. Let’s see what Powell’s ‘reasons’ were for endorsing Obama:
“I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I’ll be voting for Sen. Barack Obama,” Powell said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Powell said he was concerned about what he characterized as a recent negative turn of Republican candidate Sen. John McCain’s campaign, such as the campaign’s attempts to tie Obama to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.
“I think that’s inappropriate. I understand what politics is about — I know how you can go after one another, and that’s good. But I think this goes too far, and I think it has made the McCain campaign look a little narrow. It’s not what the American people are looking for,” he said.
Powell, a retired U.S. general and a Republican, was once seen as a possible presidential candidate himself.
Powell said he has some concerns about the direction of the Republican Party, adding that it has “moved more to the right than I would like to see it.”
In regard to the financial crisis, which Powell called the candidates’ “final exam,” Powell said McCain appeared unsteady in dealing with it, while Obama had excelled in handling the situation.
“Obama displayed a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity, a depth of knowledge,” Powell said.
All you have to do is read between the lines to see what Powell is really saying:
“I’m voting Obama because that guy is black and running for president….plus I hate white people.”
When will racism end? Hopefully when I have kids, they will be able to vote for whoever they want based on negativity and craziness, not skin color.
Someone get me when Condoleezza Rice endorses a candidate.

Yes, the P-bomb was long in coming. Since Rice is in office, I doubt she’ll “endorse” McCain. It’s too bad people care so much about endorsements, which is why I wrote about the Loch Ness Monster endorsing Obama and Bigfoot endorsing McCain. Really, if you vote based on endorsements, you’re just giving away your vote.

Bigfoot’s endorsing John McCain?
That’s all I needed to hear.
