America is now starting to realize that black people are just like everyone else. But these are two extrodinary men who had to work very hard and swallow a lot of pride to get to where they are. The one thing they both have going for them is the fact they’ve based their careers on doing a good job. I feel bad for what Bush did to Powell. But he still is a tested war hero, from private to general, a world diplomat, and a successful military strategist. Obama taught constitutional law and was a community organizer. Bush was head cheerleader in high school and destroyed three oil companies. And America still voted for him. I'm looking for someone who will do a good job for this country. I don't care if he's purple. Nicely said Foreign observer. America is now starting to realize that black people are just like everyone else.

He knew it would be a disaster. He'd been in combat, unlike the Bush chickenhawks, and he correctly advised Bush senior not to go to Bagdad in the Gulf War. He was the one person who could have stood up to Bush and told the American people the truth. He had the clout and the credentials to stop this war before it began, but he drank the coolaid and promoted this blood-fest. To run with Colin Powell would be to run with a war criminal in my opinion, and it would I will not vote for a war criminal.

This would be a GREAT ticket, but there are those that would cling to their guns and religion . . . . and bed sheets to keep it from happening.

Both well educated, thoughtful, very intelligent, and very savvy. What a dream team! (and no, I'm not African American). Powell is the "bridge" guy who can bring Republicans to the table.
