Just heard that...how could he be so blind and support Obama?
“Just heard that...how could he be so blind and support Obama?”
Obama’s color is blinding Colin Powell. How disappointing.
In addition to the race thing, Powell hates W (he expected to be reappointed as SoS but W kicked him out) and sees this as another way to get back at him.
As far as principle is concerned, I never saw "principle" as a part of Powell's makeup - just opportunism. He was stabbing W in the back and buttering up reporters anonymously all during his tenure as SofS.
