Where do we find such men?
One week to go
Hold on to your hats. It’s going to be a ride. But here’s your moment of Zen for the week.
“Whatever else history may say about me when I’m gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears.”
– Ronald Reagan
I hope when all this is done, both candidates can look back and say the same.
So You Think You Can be President
Behold the Obama / McCain Dance-off!!
Suckas, you about to get SERVED!!!!
Of coffins and nails…
Colin Powell, Former Secretary of State, retired General, and all-around bad mammajamma, has officially endorsed Sen. Barack Obama.
“I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I’ll be voting for Sen. Barack Obama,” Powell said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Powell said he was concerned about what he characterized as a recent negative turn of Republican candidate Sen. John McCain’s campaign, such as the campaign’s attempts to tie Obama to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.
“I think that’s inappropriate. I understand what politics is about — I know how you can go after one another, and that’s good. But I think this goes too far, and I think it has made the McCain campaign look a little narrow. It’s not what the American people are looking for,” he said.
I’ve got an immense amount of respect for Gen. Powell, and I won’t be surprised to see him popping up into the next administration, regardless of who wins.
