Irish dramatist, novelist, & poet (1854 - 1900)- *********************************
Today's post, is indirectly related to healthcare. Electrifying news this morning, as we awoke from slumber.
To me it was almost as punctuating as the events of JFKs assassination, and the bombings of 9-11. Colin Powell who was George Bush's Secretary of State, and critical of the Iraqi war as it boged down, endorsed Barak Obama for the Presidency.
Colin Powell has such enormous stature from not only his role and experience in government, but also his eminence as a person of great integrity and moral stature.
Mr. Powell did not have to endorse anyone, he could have remained silent. His love of his country and performance of his duties leaves no doubt as to how this will impact the election.
The sad thing is that George Bush did not listen to what Colin Powell was telling him (and we as taxpayers paid for it). 'res ipsa loquitor'. (the thing speaks for itself).
This is the final nail in the coffin of the Bush administration.
This announcement also comes as the Iraqi Government begins to renegotiate terms for our remaining in Iraq.
