Here is video of Sen. John McCain today on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace, where he responded to the news that Gen. Colin Powell has endorsed Barack Obama for President. . . . . (Watch Video)

Why couldn’t he say that Sarah Palin has more experience the the obomanation?
It really is so simple to make this guy look like a beginner.
Or is Powell just voting his race?
I’d love to see just one report in the MSM saying that General Colin Powell has joined Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Muammar al-Gaddafi, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Communist Party U.S.A., the American Socialist Party and Christopher Buckley with his endorsement of Barack Hussein “Steve” Obama.
That was a rhetorical question, right ?
Who the hell knows!
There are many things he COULD have said and doesn’t.
Maybe he still thinks Demoncrats are his friends and he might get his hand slapped as he continues to “reach across the aisle”.
Don’t fre, maybe he’ll put Powell in his cabinet.
I’m voting for SARAH.
Powell is voting his race and justifying it with his OH SO SINCERE comment that Palin isn't experienced enough (unlike Obama who isn't experienced enough to be the janitor in a $h!t house)....
Yes. Just like 98.9% of other blacks. It wouldn't surprise me if Condi Rice did the same.
Don’t even worry about Powell. This comes as no surprise and there are several Obama supporters who don’t even know who Colin Powell is.
If the Mccain campaign were smart, they would say they understood Powell’s endorsement of Obama because Powell was a trailblazer himself in terms of breaking down racial barriers. However, his reasoning leaves a lot to be desired given Obama’s lack of experience and achievement
You forgot Nation of Islam's Farrakhan having proclaimed Obama as the Messiah.
Powell cast his vote... for his race.
Sad.
Race and abortion.
This could backfire on Obama too. Many people will see it for what it is (not what Powell says it is). It’s so obvious that it is about race that it’s a slap in the face of people who actually THINK!
you may be on to something..
One of my kids made the comment that this race was really about two things: race and abortion. Blacks will vote for Obama because of his race, while whites will vote for him because they support abortion.
And of course, then there are the twofers like Powell, who is supporting Zero because (a) he’s black and (b) he supports abortion.
Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for President because he is “a transformational figure”, i.e. black. With the OJ murder jury race trumped good judgement just like this mistake by a former General.
