The video of Powell endorsing Obama

[apocalypsos]

I love him, I really do. Not only does he make a concise intelligent argument as to why he'll be voting for Obama, but he also manages to make a point about the Muslim comments that maybe might knock some sense into a few Republicans. (Well, if we're lucky.)

The photo he's talking about is this, from here:

I cried a little (Fourteen in NJ during 9/11 oh god, that's too close to home), but oh, how vindicating it felt to hear him talking about how all towns have values, and about the narrowness of the GOP approach. Because I don't like being told I might as well be amoral- or worse yet, completely insignificant- because of my geography, but that's pretty much the feeling Palin and her ilk like spreading. Well ha ha, my vote counts the same as their votes, and that's why I love this country.
