Today on the news I watched as Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for the 2008 election. I loved every word that came from his mouth. Colin Powell is a very well educated man and that showed through in this interview. He talked about how members of his own party were pointing out that Barack Obama was Muslim, Powell retorted, " First of all, he is christian and what would be the problem if he was Muslim? What is the problem with a 7 year-old Muslim boy dreaming that one day he could be president?"
I completely agreed with everything Powell said, and I loved how eloquently he spoke throughout the whole interview.
(this is for the week of October 13th-17th because the next school week hasn't started.)
