Colin Powell was on Larry King Live yesterday, and he discussed the Henry Louis Gates’ incident and said this:

White Republicans: Powell Endorsed Obama Just Because He’s Black

Posted by Bossip Staff

Rush Limbaugh and a slew of other conservatives dismissed Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama as race loyalty:

“Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race,” Limbaugh wrote. “OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I’ll let you know what I come up with.

“I was also unaware of his dislike for John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. I guess he also regrets Reagan and Bush making him a four-star and secretary of state and appointing his son to head the FCC. Yes, let’s hear it for transformational figures.”

Colin Powell Backs Obama

Posted by Bossip Staff

Go ahead and cash it in old cripple; your demise is imminent. Obama is now officially endorsed by the whitest black man ever:

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell officially announced his endorsement of Barack Obama in the race for the White House. Powell, whose support for the Illinois senator as long been assumed, makes his Presidential pick at a particularly opportune time for the Obama campaign – 16 days before the election. “I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I’ll be voting for Sen. Barack Obama,” Powell said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Powell is a republican, but the political Messiah, transcends all boundaries. YES WE CAN!!!
