Colin Powell endorses Obama.

Colin Powell admits to being good friends with Senator John McCain, but for the past two weeks, he has leaned toward Obama. The following clip is Colin Powell announcing to the press core why he made this choice. The most powerful moment (3:36) of his official endorsement describes how Powell viewed McCain's negative attacks on Obama on so many various fronts, and how he saw that these attacks were being watched by the entire world and was continuing to harm our reputation around the globe. He noted that while McCain would be a good leader, he felt that we could do better with Obama and why. It's a really informative and intellectual conversation with this former statesman.
