    Colin Powell endorses Obama

    The McCain Endorsements you DIDN'T See on CNN!

     

    I'm sure you didn't hear of the over 100 endorsements for McCain from Military Commanders - since the media doesn't share that information - so here's a list for you

     

    McCain gets support from four former secretaries of state (Even tho former Secretary of State Colin Powell tossed is hat towards Obama).

     

    Henry Kissinger, retired Gen. Alexander Haig, Lawrence Eagleburger and George Shultz all said they would support McCain. The former heads of the State Department said the senator's leadership skills, his record and his vision make him the right choice for president in difficult times.

     

    "The world's challenges are radically changing and our country needs John McCain's experience and optimism, said Kissinger, who served as secretary of state from 1973 to 1977 and won a Nobel Prize for his efforts to end the Vietnam War.

     

    "His record, character, and belief that America's best days lie ahead make John McCain the right leader for these times, added Kissinger.

     

     

    Senator McCain has been endorsed by over 100 generals and admirals from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps[40], among them:
