And I voted across the board: Democrat, Republican and Libertarian. I’m saucy like that.
This video has been posted on my sister’s blog for a few days, but I just got around to watching it today. And if you haven’t seen it – you must. I’ve always like Colin Powell – I probably like him more than I do Biden. And I can’t tell you how happy I am about Colin Powell endorsing Obama. Happy dances for everyone!
I still haven’t forgiven him for his involvement that embroiled lies to build a case for a war that never, never ever should have happened. He jumped ship and maintained some credibility, but still – he lied. Maybe this is his way of making amends. I don’t know, and I don’t care. General Powell was a highly respected member of the Bush administration and he is endorsing Barack Obama. Doesn’t that speak volumes?
I hope anyone who is on the border of voting between Obama & Biden and McCain & Dingbat Palin will take this very seriously. It’s worth a watch if you haven’t already seen it.
I usually watch Meet the Press every Sunday. Call me a dork, but it’s part of my routine. This Sunday I was anxious to watch it as I truly like Colin Powell and I was looking forward to what he had to say. I was very impressed! Thanks for sharing!!
It’s funny, because Obama’s my guy (oh, are you shocked??) but my mom has been driving me crazy with the most inane criticisms of him. “Yeah, but where does he get ALL that MONEY????” (individuals. most under a hundred bucks a pop.) “Well, if he grew up poor, how did he PAY for HARVARD?” (student loans. paid off loans selling two books) And my all time favorite, “I don’t know, he’s just TOO perfect.” And after months of her most improbable logic, General Powell came on Meet the Press, and stated point by point *the exact same five reasons* I’ve been telling my mom for months as to why I’ve chosen to support Senator Obama and now…she’s convinced.
What can I say? It’s so hard to be a prophet in your own land. 🙂
Go see W.! It’s a weird movie, but it was especially weird seeing it on the same day Powell endorsed (yesterday).
He does come out looking good, except for the part where he lies.
OMG…I so needed this to send to my mother too! She’s voted Dem her whole life and was a complete Hillary supporter, but keeps giving me the same silly reasons she won’t vote for Obama (she says she won’t vote for McCain either, so she’s just not going to vote for either…what sort of logic is that?)
I’m going to try again this weekend…
3 cheers for voting! I tried to embed that cliip on my blog and it didn’t work so I just have a link. Love it.
