I was joking, but serious, too. Mr. Blackwood has been a successful schoolteacher, school principal, school board member, and most recently state representative for the last 8 or 10 years. (Sort of like a Sarah Palin who didn’t aspire past being Mayor of Wasilla :-).
Obama has accomplished nothing, except getting people to give him a lot of money for doing nothing.
So, Obama says he will consider Powell in his administartion. Funny thing, as other FReepers point out, Powell was in two Bush administrations and sold the Iraq war to the American people, that’s Obama’s “change”???
Every experienced retiree or military member on Free Republic...heck, in the whole country...knows that General Powell never would have promoted even a Lieutenant Colonel to lead a Corps.
It wouldn’t have happened. It wouldn’t have been considered.
This was a race-based decision and it’s obvious.
