WASHINGTON – Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell on Sunday endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president, calling the Illinois senator a “transformational figure” who has the potential to “electrify” the nation in the White House.
Obama has “displayed a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity, a depth of knowledge and an approach to looking at problems . . . a definitive way of doing business that I think would serve us well,” Powell said on NBC’s Meet the Press.
“He is crossing lines – ethnic lines, racial lines, generational lines.”
Powell expressed concern John McCain “didn’t have a complete grasp” of the nation’s faltering economy. And he questioned McCain’s decision to choose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.
“I don’t think she’s ready to be president of the United States, which is the job of the vice president,” he said. “That raised some question in my mind as to the judgment Senator McCain made.”
NOT A SURPRISE ON HIS RESPONSE ABOUT PALIN!!!! THIS IS GREAT NEWS THOUGH! BARACK…EVERYONE’S GOT YOUR BACK, NOW JUST SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE VICTORY COMING ON NOV. 4th!!!!
