Barack Obama is a "transformational figure" according to colin powell, who just endorsed him on Meet the Press. Heapos;s summarizing a lot of the salient points of the campaign extemely well. Itapos;s a damned shame he got duped so hardcore by the bcf, cos i lost all respect for him back then, and iapos;m only giving him a small bit of credit right now. But heapos;s a smart guy who sees issues from a clear perspective; it sucks that heapos;s been marginalized---and that he marginalized himself---to the point he did.
powell is also talking about his decision to go before the UN. He sounds really good, very reasonable. And i think he *is* a reasonable guy, but he made a huge mistake with that speech. Itapos;s just another example of what happens when you cherry-pick half the stuff and filter out the other half. Even good, honest people can be duped. Of course, we also had record protests for the history of humanity, and their arguments were just ignored. But thatapos;s just the modern conservativesapos; m.o.: decide on a conclusion in advance, pick out only the stuff that supports it (no matter how crazy), ignore the other stuff (no matter how reasonable), get apos;er done.
powell just said: "i think we need a president who is a generational change, and thatapos;s why iapos;m supporting Barack Obama." itapos;s hard not to have a tad more respect for him, cos he actually gets the real issue in the campaign: we need huge, deep change, not superficial or silly. Iapos;m getting the east-coast feed, so itapos;s probably not online yet (or iapos;d link it), but if you get a chance, watch todayapos;s Meet the Press online. Itapos;s really interesting.
damn it, i missed SNL last night. Now i have to go find the tina fey stuff, and i canapos;t do it here cos my hosts would not appreciate it. Well, i hope iapos;ll remember to check it in portland...which is less than a week away. Thatapos;s so so weird. I guess i have to make it work.
by the way, Obama raised $150 million in september (and the dnc raised a bit more). People care, people are involved, people really want him to win. And thatapos;s good for them, because Obama is going to win. By a lot.
