Back in March of this year, I essentially called out Powell for being the total shrinking violet that he has shown himself to be.
This "endorsement" by Powell was predictable, and in fact, had been long rumored since August.
This "endorsement" is a joke, is Powell once again showing his true yellow color. I've had virtually no respect for this "man" since his "performance" in front of the UN Security Council during the push to war in Iraq was outed for being the complete rim job to Dubya that it was.
In my opinion, this "endorsement" will have virtually no effect on this campaign. Obama did all the selling himself here, with the help of a OCGM looking about as mentally stable as a kitchen table with 3 legs.
Time and time again, Powell has shown himself to be a complete coward. A "man" not fit for public office because he doesn't have the stones to make the tough decisions until the right answer is so clear that even my pet rat would know what to do.
The only people Obama seems to be unwilling to sway are those whack-job/neo-con Republicans, and those "middle-America" racists bitches, like that lady who told OCGM she thought Obama was an Arab and was not entirely dismissed by OCGM at his rally.
Seeing another black man endorse Obama does nothing to ease the passion of these racist bigots, nor does it do anything to sway the neo-con's who know that deep down, Powell is not bold enough to truly advocate war on his own...as he was with Rummy, Cheney, and Dubya...he had to literally be pushed into making the case that he himself questioned but showed so little intestinal fortitude that he was led out on a leash to make the case for war against Iraq to the world.
It's a damn shame what has happened to, or has been reveled about the true nature of Powell. But because of the joke he has become, this endorsement is meaningless. Moreover, it's pathetic that Powell would somehow Powell would attempt to take any credit for an Obama win. I say again, Obama has won this basically on his own. The only real endorsement that has mattered is perhaps the Big Hill endorsement because of her women. And even that, as we all know, was a painful thing for her to do.
