Colin-oscopy

Colin Powell just endorsed Obama. I am so disappointed in him. He chose a man he barely knows over a man he respects and has worked with for ages, simply because of his race. Powell can claim that wasn't his main reason for the endorsement, but it is. He would never, ever endorse a Democrat before, and Obama has accomplished little in life beyond rounding up people who don't have a clue who or what they are voting for and registering them to vote. All because the black community demands that Powell choose between white and black. "He said as much when he commented that McCain is very capable of being president. I am very sad.

At the best, an Obama presidency will be like David Dinkins' reign in NYC. A complete zero. I know, I voted for him. What a mistake. And then we ended up with Nazi-like Rudi Guiliani for a mayor, who was mean and viscious and dangerous until September 11th when he suddenly became a Champion. Obama is so naive as to think other countries are simply going to listen to him and do what he thinks is best, and that's not the way the world works.

I am sad that our country is going to push away a great man, one who has always worked with the other side and who always stands up for what is right, simply because he is old and white. I guess the irony is that, for the first time in her adult life, Michelle Obama is proud of her country, and for the first time in my adult life, I will be ashamed of my country. John McCain deserves better respect from the fellow Americans for whom he has worked so hard.
