Some will say that Colin Powell is giving Barack Obama his vote simply because he is African-American. Watch this video and tell me that General Powell hasn’t given his endorsement a serious amount of thought.
Obama/O’Biden ’08!

Even though I’d read some of his excerpts, it was nice to see the video. Thanks for posting it!
I read a good article about his talk, and it focused on the part that I think has really been ignored, the “he’s a Muslim”. I think he summed it up very succinctly. How many Muslim-Americans are there? How sad that they can be so written off. We have had a lot of anti-Muslim feelings and some race/hate crimes here in MN.
Which makes me think of Palin’s gaffe on the “real pro-American” parts of the country, and the whole patriotism thing. I am not proud of many things our nation has done, and is doing. I am very proud of other things we as a nation have done and are doing. Mostly, other people are the world love Americans, just not our country’s interventions or policies around the world. But there are some people who call themselves American and try to take for themselves the role of “patriot” and it is of these people that I am embarrassed.
