| fkusumot said: Colin Powell today became the most prominent Republican to endorse Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, crossing party lines to declare Obama a "transformational" figure who would "electrify our country....and the world." Powell said he respected John McCain, the Republican nominee, and considered him a friend. But, he said, McCain's "unsure" response to the ongoing economic crisis and his selection of a running mate who is "not ready to be president of the United States," along with an increasingly "narrow" Republican approach to deepening national problems, had led him to support Obama. "His ability to inspire, the inclusive nature of his campaign, his reaching out all across America, who he is and his rhetorical abilities....he has both style and substance," Powell said of Obama. He said that Obama's own intellectual ability, and the experts surrounding him, had convinced him of Obama's readiness to lead the country. - Source |
Interesting. Yeah, only thing preventing me from voting Obama is that he would make the global food crisis much much worse with the increase of ethanol in his energy plan.
