In an appearance this morning on Meet the Press, Colin Powell stated that he will be voting for Barack Obama,
calling him a “transformational figure” who has displayed “a steadiness” during his race against Senator John McCain. “He has both style and substance… Obama has displayed a steadiness; showed intellectual vigor. He has a definitive way of doing business that will do us well.”

Oh, good. Until now Obama hadn’t reached the right number of endorsements by mass-murdering war criminals to get my vote.
I’m glad Powell said it about it being *shock* OK to be an Arab (or Muslim) and an American. That was my thought when I saw the video of McCain admonishing the old woman for calling Obama an Arab. McCain’s response was as if that was the worst thing one could say about someone.
Well said Powell.. very eloquent. Great story about the Muslim U.S. soldier who gave his life in Iraq.. this almost makes me want to forgive you for waving a vial of anthrax at us some years ago..
