It ran in my mind that he did not endorse Obama in 2008 but I googled it and am incorrect (he did).

McCain wanted to bomb Iran right off the bat.

Gen. Powell recognized McCain was batshit crazy.

Calling Powell a republican is like calling McCain a conservative.. It's In name only... He backed Obama before so it has to be shocking that he is backing them now  ::). Considering Obama is liberal personified no true conservative would back him.. Powell is not conservative or even a liberal republican... Still a good man though..

He had to endorse Obama just like many people had to vote for him .....for one reason only

They could not let Bible Spice be a heart attack or stroke away from the  oval office

This time Powell has been very critical of Romney's foreign policy positions

POWELL: Not only am I uncomfortable with what Governor Romney is proposing for his economic plan, I have concerns about his views on foreign policy. The governor who was speaking on Monday night at the debate was saying things that were quite different from what he said earlier so I’m not quite sure which governor Romney we would be getting with respect to foreign policy.

O’DONNELL: What concerns do you have with governor Romney’s foreign policy?

POWELL: Well it’s hard to fix it, I mean it’s a moving target, one day he has a certain strong view about staying in Afghanistan but then on Monday night he agrees with the withdrawal, the same thing in Iraq and almost every issue that was discussed on Monday night, governor Romney agreed with the president with some nuances but this is quite a different set of foreign policy views than he had earlier in the campaign and my concern which I’ve expressed previously in a public way is that sometimes I don’t sense he has thought through these issues as thoroughly as he should have and he gets advice from his campaign staff that he then has to adjust or modify as they go along.

ROSE: Are you concerned about the people that are advising governor Romney?

POWELL: I think there are some very very strong neoconservative views that are presented by the governor that I have some trouble with.
