4. powell is a war criminal
so who cares who he endorses.

also the format of these videos is annoying. music playing in background and the dude talking loudly over the music... great idea! /s

8. That's to provide power to the condescending attitude
And I agree. Powell has a lot more apologizing and coming clean to do in order to have any relevance in public, at least to me. Until then, he should just keep looking over at Iraq and ask himself, "what have I done..." Until then, I'll find it hard to return his smile in kind.

7. Obama "values" Powell's advice
He doesn't seem to have a problem with taking advice from a war criminal. Odd for someone who is running on "always" being an opponent of the war.

9. I doubt it, but I hope so. My fear is that McCain will pick Powell for VP
A Powell endorsement doesn't mean Obama has to love everything Powell's done, but such an endorsement would bring more Republicans and Independents over... which would be a good thing.

Of course, were it to happen, Hillarites will call for Obama to denounce a Powell endorsement. Oh, wait. Make that reject *and* denounce the endorsement. Another lopping off of the nose, to spite the face.
