I read that Powell was upset the President did not ask him back. He might have turned him down but he was upset he was not asked.

Interesting. I haven't seen that.

But I think the reasons for Powell leaving are very clear. And while the press continues to try and spin what Powell says as being against the President, when I actually read what he says and not just the headline it seems to be aimed in a completely different direction.

Plus, I just saw something that talked about the two families getting together recently, so things are not bad on a personal level.

I have never really cared for Powell to be honest with you. But that is a policy thing, not a personality thing. He seems like a good guy.
