Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama

Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama, which certainly bolsters Obama's meager foreign policy credentials. If the inexperienced Obama needs any advice, Colin Powell is really good at slide show presentations.

Powell balances Obama nicely; they have a nice yin and yang thing going. Yin: Obama wants to pull out of Iraq precipitously. Yang: Powell is known for saying this: "One of the fondest expressions around is that we can't be the world's policeman. But guess who gets called when somebody needs a cop."

Powell also said that having a black president would be "electrifying."

But, no, this endorsement has nothing to do with race.
