Ken Adelman Backing Obama
By Michael D. Shear
First Colin Powell. Now Ken Adelman?
Adelman is the latest Republican foreign-policy heavyweight to endorse Sen. Barack Obama, telling the New Yorker's George Packer that he intends to vote for the Democrat in two weeks.
"When the economic crisis broke, I found John McCain bouncing all over the place. In those first few crisis days, he was impetuous, inconsistent, and imprudent; ending up just plain weird," Adelman wrote, according to Packer. "Having worked with Ronald Reagan for seven years, and been with him in his critical three summits with Gorbachev, I've concluded that that's no way a president can act under pressure."
Adelman was a key part of George Bush's defense agency and has held senior policy positions under Presidents Reagan, Ford and even Nixon. He's a staunch conservative, though he has broken with Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld over the handling of the Iraq war.
But he told Packer that Sen. John McCain's pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate was the last straw.

Meet the Black National Republicans!
Can I call him the latest d**h**d and not get in trouble? If not, moderators, please remove my post.

All I need to know about this latest “Republican” defector.
Ken who?
Big deal!
Next.
This is not news.
He’s one of the neo cons who predicted a “cakewalk” in Iraq.
He’s been out of favor for a long time.
I think they meant staunch RINO.
This one uses same 'rationale' (which makes no sense) as Powell to explain his defection at the same time as Powell. I smell a rat.
John probably hurt his feelings once or something.

The candidate endorsed subsidies for private entrepreneurs to build low-income units. But, while he garnered support from developers, many projects in his former district have fallen into disrepair.
I can understand them not endorsing McCain. But the active endorsements of Obama are too weird to be explained by anything short of blackmail.
Do any of these Washington types have any principles whatsoever? Why do I get the feeling that Adelman has a personal beef with McCain, and that’s the real reason he is voting for Obama? Just petty, personal vendettas, rather than doing what is truly right for the country.
As far as I am concerned that proves they were always a radical leftist simply using the Republican name.
Who? some old white guy, riddled with guilt and promised a position in a new administration if he supported the nice, clean, articulate black guy.
Can someone post a picture of this twit because I sure don’t remember him. My first reaction was Ken who?
If this guy is conservative, pigs are flying by the window!
Thanks!
They said the Hillary delegates were threatened or bribed. Take your pick here.
The Bluebloods are still pissed off over Governor Palin.
Let them eat cake.
