The Washington Post: Reports that former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell has endorsed Senator Obama for President. General Powell is a former Secretary of State under George W. Bush, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton and National Security Advisor to President Ronald Reagan. Lets be honest, the General was burned by the Bush Administration, he sold to the World at the UN that a War was needed in Iraq. The finding that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction was an embarrassment to Powell, at the start of the second Bush term he wanted to stay a few months to see if could do something in the Middle East, Bush said no. Obama should consider Powell for his Defence Secretary, would be smart and wise move, would show he was willing to take Republicans in his Cabinet, also Powell could be running against him in four years time, if he's in the Cabinet not likely to be running against Obama in 2012.
