While I do not have enough to to bring you up to date on everything related to the Bush administration, I will try to explain Mr. Powells position as much as possible
Colin Powell left the Bush administration because he was in constant disagreement with the republicans as it related to their vison and path for America.....
it has nothing to do with him being black and in my opinion to think so is not only ignorant ... but obtrusive to constructive thought
What about the number of high profile republicans backing Obama who are white.... do you feel they are backing him based on his skin color as well??
.... your statement esposes the fact that you do not believe that afro americans are capable of making political chocies outside race
My backing , I am sure Mr. Powells backing have absolutely nothing to do with race... just that some of us americans ... actually love america ....
and this love encourages us to do the right thing for America .... and that is Vote For Obama in 2008
