Colin Powell will have a role as a top presidential adviser in an Obama administration, the Democratic White House hopeful said Monday.

"He will have a role as one of my advisers," Barack Obama said on NBC's "Today" in an interview aired Monday, a day after Powell, a four-star general and President Bush's former secretary of state, endorsed him.

"Whether he wants to take a formal role, whether that's a good fit for him, is something we'd have to discuss," Obama said.

Looks like the marxist messiah wants a third Bush term after all.

Aha. I was wondering what the “30 pieces of silver” were for Powell. There it is. Look for a cabinet position offer soon.

Colin Powell needs the Media to reform his legacy of being proven wrong at every turn for the last 18 years. He advised not to go into Baghdad and finish the job in the first Iraq War, which would have obviated the rest of history since. He enabled Clinton’s fecklessness regarding terrorism. He spearheaded (reluctantly) the liberation of Iraq - which he didn’t believe in - then stabbed Pres. Bush in the back at every turn as his Sec. of State. Now, he is completing the circle of incompetent advice to the country while sniffin’ for a job by paying his pennance to Lord Obama and the Media by again stabbing in the back the one man who was right during the whole War.

After hearing and reading Powell’s non-sensical endorsement, I honestly doubt that this is anything more than another Black guy endorsing Barack to stick it to Whitey so that he looks good in the history books.

Of course he will, which is why he has decided to endorse him. Well, that and the fact that both of them are black.

Powells new motto, G-d Damn America.

Colin Powell is the preeminent opportunist of our time.

I Thank God I was raised not to value race over everything else.

imagine if someone had given the max to Obama and then endorsed McCain. The media would go nuts. They would write it off.
