A guide to set your compass…
President Obama’s recent victory on health care got me thinking about the election days, and the talent he demonstrated therein. While mulling over some old youtube clips I stumbled over this snippet of a Colin Powell ‘Meet the Press’ sitting, where it was billed that he would publicly endorse the Senator from Illinois. He did do so, but what stuck with me was the beautiful, eloquent preamble he gave to his endorsement. I remember seeing this clip when it happened, and I distinctly remember thinking how refreshing it was. Here was a major political figure being completely candid on national television. When does that ever happen? Gen. Powell is a patriot of the highest order, and – in my opinion – couldn’t be more dead on in his assertions.
The good stuff begins at 4:30.
Enjoy…
