Powell Endorses Obama

I was happy to hear that Colin Powell endorsed Obama this morning. I watched the video, which actually made me cry a little. It was quite moving, so I provide it for you here.
And you can see the photograph he refers to (from The New Yorker) here. It's worthwhile to look at all the photographs if you haven't seen them before.
Listening to Powell talk, kind of makes me pine for the days of old (when Republicans were articulate and sympathetic).

I watched this, cried, then showed it to the historian and cried again. Thanks for posting it.

That was the most intelligent, gorgeous, well-articulated endorsement speech I've ever heard. Wow. What a true leader. Now, if only people would follow.

Yes this is great. I listened to it the other day and thought "Gee, this is how all politicians should speak." and neither side seems to be extremely eloquent. They could all take a page from Colin's book. Thanks for the photo too. What a spectacular image.
