Retired Gen. Colin Powell

April 10, 2008

Colin Powell, who served as President Bush’s first secretary of state, is a Republican, but that apparently is not enough to sway him toward Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the GOP’s presumptive nominee. Powell has yet to make up his mind as to whom he will back as president. Isn’t he a Republican? But does that mean he has to support McCain regardless?

Since he’s not decided to vote for McCain and we know how Hillary has dumped on him regarding the build up to the war, she’s not on his list. So, let’s see now. Who’s left? :-)

Powell recently told Diane Sawyer, “I’m looking at all three candidates,” in an exclusive interview for Thursday’s “Good Morning America” on ABC. “I know them all very, very well. I consider myself a friend of each and every one of them. And I have not decided who I will vote for yet.”

So, who’s left now? -)

Powell also expressed reservations about the two-front combat in which the United States finds itself: surging in Iraq while trying to maintain control in Afghanistan. “We have responsibilities in Afghanistan. And in some ways, Afghanistan is more difficult than Iraq. You have the tribal problems. You had drug lords running around … and al Qaeda and the Taliban are making a resurgence,” Powell said.

So, who’s left now? :-)

Did Powell mention Obama?

“I think that Sen. Obama handled the issue of Jeremiah Wright very well- he didn’t look the other way. He didn’t wait for the, for the, you know, for the storm to go over. He went on television, and I thought, gave a very, very thoughtful, direct speech. And he didn’t abandon the minister who brought him closer to his faith,” Powell told Sawyer.

Hmmmmmmm.
