I'm sure that Colin Powell's support of Presidential Candidate Senator Obama comes as a shock to many. It has been rumored that Colin Powell support of the Senator is rooted in Racial affiliation. In other words, there are those that think Powell is only supporting Barack because of Race. This thought is ridiculous. Colin Powell is a very high ranking Official in three Republican administration. It has been stated that Colin Powell was considered to be the mostly likely African American that would have has a chance at becoming President of the United States of America in one point in time. Colin Powell has led the victorious U.S. military during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. He is considered to be a very respected military leader.
Colin Powell decision to support Obama is said to be directly related to the his opposition of John McCain negative campaign ads against Obama. Colin believes that Barack Obama is more suited to lead America out of the financial predicament that we are in. He also feels that John McCain running mate, Sarah Palin is less suited for becoming the next President of the United State of American than Baracks running mate, Joe Biden if God forbid something tragic was to happen to the President.
