General Colin Powell Endorses Obama

A lot of my friends were big supporters of Barack Obama early on. I wasn't convinced. I thought he could be president some day, but he wasn't ready and it was too soon. As I saw how he handled himself through the primary, the general election, the financial crisis and the debates, I came to realize that he was indeed ready.

I saw this interview with Colin Powell on Meet the Press today and he echoed my feelings about this election in way that I could not hope to come close to saying.
