Today, Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama. Here's the video, which in 7 minutes is the most reassuring, refreshing assessment of Barack Obama I've heard.
It comes from outside the Democratic party. It comes from a former general and a former secretary of state. It comes from a Republican, but a genuine moderate who believes in not deviating far to either side of the center. And amazingly, it's seven minutes of uninterrupted explanation provided by a modern news show.
This is what the national discourse should look like. And, if it is anything like successful, this is what national discourse will become.
About Me
- Kelsey Atherton
- I have a degree in political science from Tulane University. I've this absurd idealism, which matches well with my having no plans to improve the world, but some general notion that I should. I'd like to write for Foreign Affairs someday, retire and teach, and perhaps do a bit of Unitarian ministry. Also, I tend to spend an awful lot of time reading history books and designing wargames that I never end up playing.

While generally a very good thing, the "Obama has always been a Christian" thing bugged me, as he was agnostic, and possibly even very nominally Unitarian, until his mid-twenties.
