He kinda did. Bill Crystal called him out on it in August (what many had suspected for months) and he didn’t deny it. He remarked that he didn’t have time or need to respond to Mr Crystal. Again, this was not a big surprise just an attempt to knock Joe the Plumber off the news.

The ability to ignore the 8-minute explanation that Powell gave for why he was voting for Obama and simply state this was based on nothing but race is rather staggering in both its ignorance and bigotry.

You, Limbaugh, and the other racists pushing this garbage should be ashamed of yourselves (if, that was, you were capable of feeling shame).

Answer me this: if all Powell cares about is an African American in the White House, why didn’t he make this announcement months ago, right after Obama won the nomination?

Yet, he took the time to review his book and had that review printed in the Chicago Tribune.

Barack Obama’s review of William Ayers’ book

On December 21, 1997, Barack Obama wrote a short review of William Ayers’ book A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court, which had recently been published by Beacon Press. Here’s a photo of how the review appeared in the Chicago Tribune:

The Odinga/Obama connection may be coming to a head.

Corsi is out with email evidence on the BO’s secret go-between with Odinga. Kenya is now calling on the UN for international tribunals to prosecute the ringleaders of their recent post-election violence, the election Obama traveled to stump for.

All that and the recent news here and throughout the blogosphere about Michelle Obama’s telephone rant to the AFI and it’s hard to deny things Obama’s Kenya Konnection is starting to add some serious ants in BO’s pants.

It would do many of you good to do the same.

Are you actually proud of McCain’s recent Robocalls in Virginia? The ones done by the same company that spread those vicious rumors about him in South Carolina in 2000?

Can he possibly be proud of them? Didn’t he denounce them as “hate calls”? Where is his honor now?

yeah, I’ve been sitting around for weeks wondering who Powell was going to endorse so I would know how to vote.

Sure:!

Actually I’ve known who I was going to vote for for years. The Republican. How there can be such a creature as ‘an undecided voter’ is beyond me.

Can you believe that just 7 years removed from the worst terrorist attack on America, by Muslims, that some people are actually thinking of voting for a Hussein for president? Not me, I’m voting for the only one running that I’m even certain is an American.

I also believe there is a certain arrogance to Obama’s planning of his victory celebration, etc. that rubs most people the wrong way. Americans don’t like smug much. Actions like that may do more to sway voters away from him than the criminal activity that surrounds his associations.

voters are “having a difficult time” opting for the man who would become the nation’s first African American president.

“Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president ….

“Mark my words, you’re going to see these polls drop this week,” Biden forecasted.

Obama leads McCain by 48 to 45 percent among likely U.S. voters, down 1 percentage point from Saturday. The four-day tracking poll, which has a margin of error of 2.9 points.

“If that trend continues, it is something that has got to raise red flags for Obama,” Zogby said. “It suggests to me that his outward look of confidence may be as much strategy as it is real.”

Also there is the fact that Powell had history with Saddam that went back further than Bush’s did. If he really did not feel right about what he was saying, he should have spoken up or resigned. But in fact Colin Powell wanted Saddam gone.

I think Powell is looking out for himself..

I don’t know what is going to happen. Obama has enough money to blanket TV and radio etc. But then again, maybe people will get sick and tired of him by election. I know I am.

Also, two words I have for powell: Armitage/Libby. Where’s the honor?
