The medias in a tizzy over Colin Powells Meet the Press endorsement of Barack Obama this morning.
Its not a surprise to anyone whos paid attention to his pro-Obama murmurings over the last four months.
How will people outside the Beltway bubble respond?
Yawn.

Its Obamas social liberalism, not his skin color, that attracts Powell most."
That is right.
If Powell was white, nobody would care who he endorsed.
like I said. limp wristed metrosexuals vote for their own.
i don’t have any respect for powell anymore.
to say that it’s not about race, when it obviously is,
is wrong.
The DUmmies apparently reacted the same way most of us did....FU Colon Bowel.....for different reasons of course. Traitors eventually die completely alone.
If Obama was white, Powell would have never endorsed him.
Won’t help with the anti-war vote. Obama may have just lost them by getting a pro-war former Bush cabinet member.
That doesn’t make sense..why did Powell give money to McCain when it was thought that Hillary was the candidate? She’s more liberal...she’s pro-abortion. Sorry, doesn’t cut it. It’s the black thing, for sure.
I NEVER believed Colin Powell when he said “my fellow Republicans”. One part of the RINO legacy that forced me to abandon the party this year.
Powell is an opportunist of the highest order. He always has been.

Rarely do I disagree with the redoubtable Mrs Malkin, but it goes like this:
Colin Powell is black, Obama is (phenotypically)black, therefore Powell supports him.
Would he have crossed the aisle for Clinton?
No.
Powell is a racist.
If Obama was white, Powell would not have endorsed him.
Since McCain is pretty moderate on social issues, I’m gonna have to disagree with Malkin as well.
It’s simply race. If Powell was THAT left he would’ve jumped for kerry!
I just thank the Lord that Powell was not one of Senator McCain’s cellmates at the Hanoi Hilton.
A retired general just choose an anti-military socialist over an pro-military American war hero.
Racist Loser.
agree.
i always wondered why my tv-viewing democrat friends liked him so much!
This guy has a lot of lonely days ahead of him.......
IMHO, if Obama was white, he wouldn't be the dimocRAT nominee. He'd just be the junior senator from Illinois and looked at as too inexperienced to even be considered.
His actions - or, inactions - there render him as complicit as anyone to murder and its subsequent coverups.
Phooey on Powell!
