Powell, a retired Army general who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under the first President Bush before becoming secretary of state in the current administration, is one of the most highly decorated military officers of modern times and an admired figure in both parties. The Obama campaign is likely to cite the endorsement as an answer to critics and undecided voters who have questioned the foreign policy credentials of Obama, a first-term senator whose national experience amounts to four years in the Senate.
Liberals, who are now showering praise on Colin Powell for endorsing Barack Obama, were the ones who heaped scorn on him when he was Secretary of State. Powell assures us his endorsement has nothing to do with race. Rush Limbaugh observes, if it's not about race, "OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed."
