Maybe you should have thought of that before you endorsed someone simply because of their skin color, General.



How do you know he endorsed Obama because of his skin color?


Powell was a major McCain donor previously. They share a military backgound and, in general, a belief system. Powell had more in commons with McCain's philosophy than he did with Bush's.

The only thing Powell didn't have in common with McCain, in fact, was a skin color and a belief in affirmative action.

Sure, Powell made some half-assed, incoherent, attempts to explain his decision but there was no logic to them. Anyone not blinded by politics could see that Powell wanted to support the first major party black president nominee and, therefore, endorsed a member of his "race" over his friend and ally


You're still guessing and presenting it as fact. A partisan such as yourself (and basams) displayed and still display so much resentment over last year's election that it's probably a case of some payback for Powell for not being loyal to a political party.

Fair play!
