Colin Powell: Country First
 
Colin Powell endorses Obama and exposes the direction of the Republican Party. Redemption is a good thing.

6. Great video......Thanks for posting.
 Here are a few lines from the song "Lookin' for a leader" by Neil Young. (2006)

Maybe it's Obama
But he think's he's too young
Maybe it's Colin Powell
To right what he's done wrong

America has a leader
But he's not in the house
He's walking here among us
And we've got to seek him out.

(Written 2006)

Whilst endorsing Senator Obama cannot "Right what he's done wrong", it is good to see and hear Powell, who was after all, in the middle of America's war mongering bush administration, play a small part in trying to ensure that the next four years, not only for Americans but the whole planet are safer, and the position of president more dignified, than the eight years under bush have been.

IF the DUchebags don't love Powell they are racists.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Well, it was based on something first.  But I don't think the operative word was 'Country.'  'Colin,' maybe.
