Re: Colin Powell endorses Obama

  • I was just about to post this. I'm sure critics will say (again) it's because they're both Black.

    Morgan Freeman narrating one of Obama's ads didn't help either. :/

    But Morgan Freeman is the voice of God.

    I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

    I've been trying to figure this out, too.  I'm not sure how to read this and I don't want to assume the worst automatically.

    Morgan Freeman is well-known for trying to change and progress education and civil rights, both things that are part of Obama's campaign.  It has nothing to do with being black, but having the same ideology.

    Huh? What in earth are you trying to imply? I'm so confused as to how these two things are related.  Colin Powell is a Republican endorsing a Democrat. What does Morgan Freeman have to do with it?  

  • Just came across this: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/82875.html?hp=l2

    I admit I didn't read the whole article, just the McCain quotes, but I honestly think the REAL question is has McCain harmed his own legacy even more by saying that Obama's foreign policy is the most "feckless" in his lifetime? I mean...we just had 8 years of Bush, and Obama's foreign policy is the most feckless? What? 

  • Tsk tsk, Powell isn't being a good little NeoCon today?

     IIRC McCain has been a huge proponent of armed intervention in Syria so maybe this is his latest gripe about us not invading another country and attempting to dictate their next government (cuz that always works).

  • You know, LexiLupin, I bet you are correct! Obama is the most feckless, despite the fact that his foreign policy resembles that of Bush in many ways, because he isn't a war monger.  How dare he!
