I don't think it was byass for for Colin Powell to endorse Barack Obama.He thinks that obama's ideas are what we need to get out of the financhal crises.Everyone has a freedom of choose,if you don't think so you should have payed attenion in social studies {that is not my fault}.It is not good to change your team at the end of the election but you can do it.Remember EVERY VOTE COUNTS.
Colin Powell, a retired Four-Star General, and a Republican who served in the Bush Administration, crossed the political aisle to support Barack Obama for president in October 2008. He then supported Mr. Obama's re-election in October 2012.
He is still alive indeed .I read a book about him.
General Schwarzkopf endorsed John McCain in 2008, and it would be reasonable to assume he is supporting Mitt Romney in 2012. On the other hand, General Colin Powell, and his aide Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, have both endorsed Barack Obama.
Colin Powell
I endorse Obama campaign.
Wouldn't it make sense? Obama attended Rev Wrights church, the association put's him out of harms way, Wright, Farakhan, Qadaffi, Nation of Islam, all are tied together, So of Mr Obama was to push the Islamic issue that would put him in the forefront of much controversy. being Labled Christian by Colin Powell makes Obama Neutral.
Conservative Republicans found his endorsement (both in 2008 and in 2012) very problematic. Some criticized him for trying to score political points (he had a falling out with the Bush administration), or perhaps he was trying to get a job with the Obama administration. Others accused him of being a RINO (Republican in name only) or supporting Mr. Obama as one black man supporting another. But moderate Republicans and most Democrats believed the Powell gesture was sincere, and that he genuinely believed that Mr. Obama was the best candidate for the presidency. But in a time of great political polarization, such a bipartisan gesture was the subject of much controversy.
Colin Powell said Palin was not ready to be president of the United States . That is not the same thing as being inexperienced.- What does he mean when he say she's not ready if he's not saying she doesn't have enough experience???
The Democratic political group endorses Barack Obama. Private liberal political groups also endorse President Obama. He became president in 2009.
Since millions of people voted for the president, it would be impossible to give you their names; besides, voting is confidential, so we cannot say which people voted for which candidates unless those people publicly said so in the media. (This sometimes happens with celebrities or famous people, who will say they voted for a certain candidate; General Colin Powell voted for President Obama, for example, and said so.) While a majority of the people who voted for Mr. Obama were Democrats (members of the Democratic party), there were also some moderate and liberal Republicans (like Colin Powell) who voted for him too.
Some famous minorities in American politics include Jesse Jackson, Thurgood Marshall, and Colin Powell. Also on the list are Ralph Bunche, Mazie Keiko Hirono, Barbara Lee, and Barack Obama.
I only know of six people. Barack H. Obama Cynthia McKinney Al Sharpton Alan Keyes Jesse Jackson Shirley Chisholm and Colin Powell
