Wally,

I'm not suggesting it isn't a significant endorsement, it is, but it
was not unexpected.  Powell has always been a moderate if not a
liberal (he holds his political cards pretty close to his chest,
always a good move for a General). He's been saying for months how
much he admires Obama and how exciting it will be to have the first
black President.  When JC Watts says he has mixed emotions you know
race is a huge emotional factor.  Oh, but I forget, we're in the
post-racial era.

Getting back to the basics that should disturb everyone, we have
massive voter fraud taking place nationwide by Acorn, an organization
that Obama has very close ties to.  We have massive amounts of money
being raised that conveniently are below the $200 threshold for
reporting and yet we already know that much of these funds are from
foreign sources.  We have a candidate with known ties to Marxists and
unrepentant terrorists (the evidence is overwhelming) and few are
curious. We have a candidate with gaping holes in his resume that no
one seems interested in exploring.

Exactly who is this man that tingles so many legs?

Brad
