Colin should have kept his mouth shut on this one.

Sometimes I really dislike Colin Powell. Now is one of those times.

Powell looks at life a bit differently than I do and while I think he is wrong here, I can understand where he is coming from.

I think it says more that they can disagree and work together. We should support that especially with the likes of those who accuse Bush of being a racist and Powell as being a house slave. Think about it!

I disagree with you. I think difference of opinion is good-diversity in the cabinet with different opinions. President Bush certainly does not want yes men. It is nice to see that opinions do differ yet they can still be Republicans. Bush was talking about the points, not that race should not be a factor. He did say that he agreed with diversity but did not like the point system as the point system was unconstitutional favoring one race over another therefore creating a quota system just with points. Bush thought diversity could be accomplished thru interviews, one on ones, history of applicant and any shortcomings, etc. Bush has always called it affirmative access
