A Smart Right Winger?

Say what you want about Colin Powell. He's certainly made mistakes, namely and most recently his submission to pressure from the Bush administration to promote a war with Iraq despite his initial feelings against it.

But, the fact remains that he's an incredibly accomplished and distinguished man, as proven by his recent interview with Tom Brokaw on "Meet the Press". In this interview, Powell explicitly endorsed Barack Obama in one of the most eloquent and well-spoken interviews I've ever seen.

One of the best points he makes is when he reiterates that Obama is not a Muslim but that more importantly it shouldn't matter.

Watch the interview.
