In what I hope is the death knell for the McCain-Palin campaign (and the Bush years) Colin Powell has endorsed Barack Obama for president.

Of all of the Bush-ites I was most disappointed in Powell when he became a front man for the cronies and liars. The bad part was that he never looked like he believed in what he was doing or the people he was doing it for. The good part is that he got fed up and left, preserving some of the great man's dignity.

Perhaps he will have a place in the Obama administration and a chance to redeem himself IF he can support what the new President will do.

While I think Bush was absolutely the worst President of my lifetime, if not history, I do think he believes he is doing the right thing. It doesn't help us any with the crap he has caused, but at least he believes it is the correct crap. An excellent example of ignorance being bliss, because it would be hard for him to live with himslf otherwise.

But back to the topic, Powell's endorsement may finish off any remaining doubters about Obama's foreign policy experience although I believe that was doomed when Palin was chosen as a running mate.

The one thing we can expect is that McCain will go even more negative since that's all he has left. It's ashamed his advisors are making this campaign the McCain legacy that will be remembered.
