Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who served under three Republican presidents, may be ready to endorse Democrat Barack Obama for president, according to at least one source.
"Powell has made it clear that he has been thinking about an endorsement for a long time but wanted to hear more from the candidates before making his choice," writes Huffington Post columnist Lawrence O'Donnell. "It now seems beyond doubt that Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama," O'Donnell writes.
O'Donnell predicts that Powell's endorsement "will be perfectly timed to dominate a news cycle or two" and will give Obama more credibility as a commander-in-chief of the military.
It's not the first time during the campaign season when rumors have spread about a possible Powell endorsement. Fox News commentator Bill Kristol predicted that General Powell would endorse Obama and possibly speak at the Democratic Convention in Denver, but that never happened. And former Carter national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski told the Huffington Post in August that he "expects" Powell to endorse Obama for president.

Many a-pundit have called Obama an extreme liberal idealist, which he is. Colin Powell's endorsement shows that the majority of educated, free thinking people see Obama and his policy as the only way to clean up after Bush Jr., just like Clinton did for Bush Sr. Radical liberalism is the most pragmatic way to fix the problems created by Bush's "free trade" system, and his "foreign policy" blunders.
