Seriously, I can well understand why Colin Powell turned on the Republicans. After all, what have Republican presidents ever done for him? I mean other than naming him first African American to head the Joint Chief's of Staff, first African-American four star general, first African-American National Security Adviser, and first African-American Secretary of State.

I wonder what Barak O'Bama offered him? Must have been pretty good, though, since he said Race had nothing to do with his decision.
