Colin Powell: “Yes, I'm the national security adviser. I'm black. And watch; I can do the job.”

I think he is a transformational figure. He is a new generation, coming into the world, onto the world stage, on the American stage. And for that reason, I`ll be voting for Senator Barack Obama.

It says more about America than what it says about me.

Now, to his credit, Colin Powell repented for the monstrous deception of the Iraq war.

Bad news doesn't get better with time.
