WASHINGTON - Former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., for president on Sunday, criticizing his own Republican Party for what he called its narrow focus on irrelevant personal attacks over a serious approach to challenges he called unprecedented.

Powell, who for many years was considered the most likely candidate to become the first African-American president, said in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he was not supporting Obama because of his race. He said he had watched both Obama and his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, for many months and thought “either one of them would be a good president.”

But he said McCain’s choices in the last few weeks — especially his selection of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his vice presidential running mate — had raised questions in his mind about McCain’s judgment.

Powerful words from Colin Powell.
Brings up strong positive emotional feelings.
So glad to hear this point of view spoken.

Tells the story about a 20 year old Muslim American US Military man born in New Jersey who died in
Irag.. He says, there may be a seven year old Muslim American out there now
who aspires to be preisdent. This is what America is about.

I would vote for this kind of Republican. I once thought I would vote for McCain
too. I feel the Old McCain of 2000 would have been better than George W. Bush.
