Colin Powell endorses Barack Obama for President

“Colin Powell, a Republican who was President Bush’s first secretary of state, endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president Sunday and criticized the tone of Republican John McCain’s campaign,” according to the Washington Times.

Powell said “Obama is better suited to handle the nation’s economic problems as well as help improve its standing in the world.  I firmly believe that at this point in America’s history, we need a president that will not just continue, even with a new face and with the changes and with some maverick aspects, who will not just continue basically the policies that we have been following in recent years.”

Way to get back at Bush for ruining your political career Mr. Powell!  Well done.
