Never understood the appeal of Colin Powell. Never will.

UPDATE (7/4/09): Clifton B. of Another Black Conservative summarizes the intellectual bankruptcy of the “conservatives” who supported Obama:

Memo to Colin: That’s what you get when you put the color of someone’s skin over the content of his character.

If all Barack Obama had to do for the next four years was to be black, I would have voted for him too. Regardless of what color the president is, it is the polices he is pushing that matters most. Sadly, Powell is waking up to this simple fact way too late.
