[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 416294, member: 17969"] There have been many "immature" comments made on this board in the topics, but by far, this one is the most "immature". Mr. Tieguy has made some "doozies" over the years, but this tops them all. Its easy to make an assumtion that this comment is purely a "racial" assertion on its face, but I will not go that far and call it "immature". Its hard to believe that someone would go as far as to assert that just because a person is "black", that he/she will vote for Barack Obama on that premise over any other. Colin Powell made it absolutely crystal clear. OBAMA is the most qualified for the job of President of the United States based upon his experience, demeanor, attitude, intelligence and demonstrated ability to problem solve. Those are [B][I]his[/I][/B] words. It is an insult to [B]ALL[/B] black americans to make a comment in public that Colin Powell will vote for Obama just because he is black and falls into the 98% of blacks who will vote solely on race. The record is crystal clear and a retraction of this type of statement is in order. How are we to move forward as americans with this type of attitude??? The "big deal" is simple. Colin Powell was a huge supporter of the Bush Doctrine and the war on terror. He is a staunch conservative up until the collapse of the conservative movement and the failure of 8 years of Bush policies. Powell knows that this country is in trouble and rather than simply hanging with political idealogy and endorsing McCain, he has "PUT" his country first and endorses OBAMA. That is the Big Deal. Putting his country first. Time to face facts, a black american will become the next president of the United States no matter how much hatred for blacks people may have. Its no secret, racial animous is alive and well in parts of the USA. Thanks for proving it in your post. [/QUOTE]
