The endorsement of General Colin Powell is definitely a positive thing for Barack Obama. But in the interview with Tom Brokaw on Meet the Press, two things really jumped out at me.
1. Referring to Sarah Palin, General Powell gave her props, but said she clearly isn't ready to be the president, which after all is THE job of the vice-president.
2. When people say, "Obama's a Muslim," the answer is "no, he isn't he's a Christian, he's always been a Christian." The answer SHOULD be, "so what if he is?" Should an American-born Muslim grow up feeling that they can't become president? No, that's not America. (Paraphrasing of General Powell ends here.) We need to remember that this country was created in a search for freedom to practice one's own religion.
