Time for a Generational Change

Colin Powell, as I write, is endorsing Barack Obama for president. In his statement he says that it is time for a generational change. I could not agree more. Powell went on to say:

“He has both style and substance. I think he is a transformational figure,” Powell said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“Obama displayed a steadiness. Showed intellectual vigor. He has a definitive way of doing business that will do us well,” Powell said.

Powell went on to say about McCain and Powell:

“Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain’s judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn’t think she is ready to be president.

He also said he was disappointed with some of McCain’s campaign tactics, such as bringing up Obama’s ties to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.”

Powell also included in his statement the he does not like all of the negative campaigning coming from the McCain campaign, which turned up in the last presidential debate as well. Overall, in this election cycle, people do not like the negative campaigning; people this time around want to hear about the issues, not smears.

Change is coming and it is coming from all places, even from Republicans like Colin Powell who has a high approval rating with Americans.
