On Sunday Morning’s “Meet the Press” former Secretary of State Colin Powell explains why he is supporting Barack Obama for president. Among his reasons:
- Concern about Sarah Palin
- McCain not ready to deal with economic crisis
- GOP moved too far to the right
- Obama gives a broader, more inclusive view than Republicans do
- Disappointment with focus on Bill Ayers, making the McCain campaign look narrow
- Concern with likely conservative appointments to the Supreme Court
- Muslim-bashing on the right, as members of the Islamic faith die for us in Iraq
- Obama has style and substance and is a transformational figure
