COLIN POWELL PLAYS ":BRUTUS" AGAIN!!

Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” —Ronald Reagan

Despite his contrary positions on President George H.Bush's policies, he was retained as Secretary of State, and for this support he has rewarded the Bush family with sticking a knife in the back of the designated candidate for President, Senator McCain!

Powell stepped down from the position after President Bush's reelection to a second term. His four year tenure as Secretary of State was marked by disagreements with other Administration officials over policy. The following quotation from a February 20, 2004 address at Princeton University provides an excellent example of Colin Powell's statesmanship:

“We must build a better future even as we deal with the security challenges before us. That is how we'll overcome those challenges, because it's not enough to fight against a negative, like terrorism. We must focus on what inspires us, on what brings the good people of the world together. We've got to fight for the positive — for liberty, for freedom, for democracy.”

This quote explains why Powell betrayed the party that made him the first Black Secretary of State, that gave him a place in the history books.
It is apparent that the appeal Powell has for Obama is his "ONE WORLD" approach to politics. Both seem to have an affinity to worry about solving the worlds problems more than the problems here at home.

It certainly could not be Obama's experience or his past association with known terrorists that make the General(ret.)think Obama is qualified to be President.
I do not want to believe that a man of his stature, would base his decision on the color of Obama's skin as the reason he has endorsed Obama, but when I try to fathom the reasons why he waited so long to endorse Obama.
I can not conceive of any qualifications that would make Gen. Powell appear on National television to endorse Obama 16 days before the election. Maybe it is to repair the damage caused by the revelation that Obama's favoring a Socialistic economic approach by supporting tax cuts and tax credits, while raising taxes on some in order to give checks to others is not a tax cut; it's just another government giveaway!

Perhaps it could be Powell and his wife Alama, a long time Democrat Liberal, decided that "Joe The Plumber" had exposed Obama as a true Socialist, and Colin had to rescue Obama from the Damage caused by Obama's "SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND"!
