Colin Powell has endorsed Obama for President. Why am I not surprised? I think it purely a matter of race. I never like Powell and I lost all respect for him in the Scooter Libby case. Powell knew from the beginning who had leaked the name of Valerie Plame, but said nothing. He clearly wanted to harm Cheney and Rove. He also leaked information with the intent of damaging the Bush Administration. He looks like the typical back-stabber that rises to the top in the military during peacetime. I can't figure out why he is held in such high esteem.
