Will Colin Powell's Obama Endorsement Put Republicans in the Cabinet?
So, what does former Bush Secretary of State Colin Powell get for endorsing Sen. Barack Obama? Probably nothing, since he has a been-there-done-that approach to further government work. But intelligence sources say it opens up the possibility that chief ally Richard Armitage, a McCain adviser, could win a top post in an Obama administration. Namely, as head of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, giving the Democrat the Republican he wants. One hang-up: He admits to "inadvertently" revealing spy Valerie Plame's name to columnist Robert Novak. Other names in the mix: the 9/11 commission's Tim Roemer, former CIA executives John Brennan and Joan Dempsey, and former acting CIA Director John McLaughlin. Meanwhile, we hear that Richard Clarke, former Bush antiterrorism ace who blasted the prez after quitting, is a potential Homeland Security secretary.

Powell's endorsemnt
Colin Powell had my respect. No more. I'm a disabled veteran and never have I been more disappointed. The General sold out and I thought he stood taller than that.
Obama "Hussein" Obama/Colin Powell
I believe very strongly that Obama has way to much negative in his past to be our president. I was very disappointed in his church and their views of the country and on "Whities."!! Why would we want anyone as the president of the US who is a racist. This is crazy. What if McCain would have attended a church that had the views Obama's Church has and it been against blacks, Asians and other minorities - would he even be allowed to run.. would he have been asked to withdraw... Do you not think the minorities would have not pushed to have him drop out. Of course, I, a white American, would not have wanted McCain to run either had he been, what I felt, a racist. I'm from the state where a member of the KKK ran for our Governor - how awful! Hello!! Let's quit playing the "Oh he's black, we can't say anything negative"! Also, I was very dissappointed in Colin Powell for backing this man. I "HAD" so much respect for Colin Powell.. I truly thought he would always do what was best for this country and not just fold from pressure from his fellow black Americans. When he said that the reason he was backing Obama was because he did not feel that Palin was qualified I knew he was way to smart for that answer. He knows that Palin alone is more qualified than Obama... then add McCain and his service to this country - what an American...Heck,,, I'm more qualified than Obama... I'm not a racist, I don't take money for people with questionable connections to parties that are engaged in not legal/ethicle businesses, I love this country good times and bad, I am an American along with ALL of my extra large family - a lot who served this country - my father, my brother, my uncles , my great uncles (thousand mile march), etc.... What has Obama done? Oh yeah - sex education in Kindergarden... That's why I would vote for him... We need to change the qualifications needed to run for president. If this man could make it in who knows what'x next. Do you not think the people putting Obama in (backing with goobs of money) will not continue to put people in that will get the things done that they want done. IF Obama gets in he will have the capability to start things in motion that will hurt this country now and down the road and IF we as Americans do not get our heads out of the dark we are going to end up being a third world country. We are to smart for that. think about this... be you white, yellow, black or purple - it doesn't matter... this is our country... I say it's a great place and we need to figure out how to hold on to it together...
I'm sure..
I'm sure he will put the GOP in the cabinet, because he'll need serious help. That's why so many GOP officials are abandoning their party to joing the left-wing illuminati. They'll regret it though, as will we.
