Colin Powell crosses racial lines. His leadership standards and reputation echoes louder than nationality.
After reading his primer on the 18 qualities of leadership, I understand why America sees Colin Powell's endorsement as significant to electing the next President of the United States.
What I admired from yesterday's endorsement besides who he endorsed, was how he announced it.
He laid out what his selection process. Balanced and thought provoking, Colin Powell gives the America people, especially undecided voters, a template on making decisions.
His decision defies the refrain "Oh, he's voting for Obama because he's black." Colin Powell is voting for Sen Obama because he saw the steadiness America needs in the turbulent storm we've had over the last 8 years.
Let's learn a lesson from Colin Powell in decision making. This endorsement and decision to cross party lines had to be tough. Not only is John McCain a friend, but he's given his support to him as a republican.
This election must be looked at from an objective view point instead of an "US vs Them" mentality that's easy to fall in.
America is known for leadership and steadfastness in the eyes of other nations. Let's regain what our founding fathers aimed for when writing the Constitution.
Vote Obama change you can believe in... because he believes in you.
