Colin Powell endorsed President Obama for a second term this week on CBS. It is a very eloquent and intelligent endorsement for a second term. You should be impressed that Powell looks at the issues and makes a decision instead of blindly following "the party". It is that mentality of blindly following the party or leader that eventually turns countries into authoritarian dictatorships. With the current Republican and Tea Party they are well on their way to create another Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia.

For some reason when Colin Powell, who is African American, was working for the Bush White Houses--it was great to have a Black Man around. Now, that Colin Powell endorsed Obama, well it's just because Powell is racist against white people. Just take Mitt Romney's Campaign Chair, John Sununu's word for it--

From the transcript:
"SUNUNU: You have to wonder whether that’s an endorsement based on issues or that he’s got a slightly different reason for President Obama.
MORGAN: What reason would that be?
SUNUNU:"Well, I think that when you have somebody of your own race that you’re proud of being President of the United States — I applaud Colin for standing with him."
So, because Powell is black he obviously voted for Obama. Conversely every white person voting for Romney is also racist? No, but many are as Lawrence Wilkerson, former aide to Colin Powell points out here--

From the transcript:
"My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people -- not all of them, but most of them -- who are still basing their positions on race. Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, and that's despicable."
Finally, an honest Republican. Maybe others will look in the mirror and realize they are racists and ask God for forgiveness and begin repenting for their ungodlike behavior.
