Will Colin Powell's Obama Endorsement Put Republicans in the Cabinet?

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...

of course the Democrats with their we need to get out of the war speeches want Powell the king of "there are nuclear weapons" in the middle east on their side - what hypocrites. Ummm, and we wonder why Powell is endorsing Obama? And this was NOT planned, right? Please....wake up people! This guy, Obama, is just one big fat history of manipulative moves and he is completely non credible and has zero integrity! So, is this supposed to prove that he is going to come across the isle also? Powell bailed on the Bush administration after he encouraged them to go to war based upon his "intelligence" on the weapons "they" had and then quit the position, he must be dying to be back in office, just a manipulator like Obama: birds of a feather. If you fellow Americans cannot figure this out read blogs from the Sun or any paper in Europe and you will see that so many see through this because they know our countries agenda better than you do - you will be sorry with Obama. The most worse off states in the union have had Democratic Senators for over a decade - google it - and the Democratic congress is ineffective and now you want to give a monopoly to Democrats! And - it was the democratic congress who forced banks to do those loans because of the kick back lobbiest in bed with fannie/freddie!! It is amazing....did any of you hear the Howard Stearn audio? Where he pulled Obama supporters off the street and would say stuff like "so you believe abortion is wrong like Obama?" and they would agree, just because they thought Obama said it! Google it! So sad....
