Former Secretary of State Colin Powell Endorses President Obama CHICAGO — Former Secretary of State, National Security Adviser, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell endorsed President Obama for re-election today. Powell cited the President’s leadership in bringing us back from the brink of economic collapse, ending the war in Iraq, his plan to end the war in Afghanistan, and his strong record of fighting terrorism as reasons for his endorsement. Watch Colin Powell’s endorsement HERE. TRANSCRIPT ROSE: Will you endorse President Obama this race? POWELL: Well, you know I voted for him in 2008 and I plan to stick with him in 2012, and I’ll be voting for he and for Vice President Joe Biden next month. ROSE: That’s an endorsement for President Obama for re-election?POWELL: Yes. And let me say why. When he took over the country was in very, very difficult straits, we were in one of the worst recessions we had seen in recent times, close to a depression. The fiscal system was collapsing. Wall Street was in chaos. We had 800,000 jobs lost in that first month of the Obama administration and unemployment would peak a few months later at 10%. So we were in real trouble. The auto industry was collapsing. The housing industry was starting to collapse, and we were in very difficult straits. And I saw over the next several years stabilization come back in the financial community, housing is now starting to pick up after four years, it’s starting to pick up. Consumer confidence is rising. So I think generally we’ve come out of the dive and we’re starting to gain altitude. It doesn’t mean we are problem solved, there are lots of problems still out there. The unemployment rate is too high. People are still hurting in housing. But I see that we are starting to rise up. I also saw the President get us out of one war, start to get us out of a second war and did not get us into any new wars. And finally, I think that the actions he’s taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very, very solid. And so I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on. With respect to Governor Romney, I have the utmost respect to him but as I listen to what his proposals are especially with respect to dealing with our most significant issue, the economy, it’s essentially let’s cut taxes and compensate for that with other things. But that compensation does not cover all of the cuts intended or the new expenses associated with defense.

Dear Mitt,

How could you?

After all those mornings I spent teaching your boys the letters of the alphabet and how to sound out words, you’re going to f-i-r-e me.

That’s a word I heard today and I can hardly say it.

You said at the de-bate that you love me. But that can’t be true, can it?

…
In fact, you gave me a big bop on the beak. And you shouldn’t bop anybody on the beak. It’s not nice.

Is it because my feathers are too yellow? It is because my feet are too big?

I’m a very good bird. I clean my nest. I eat my seeds. I help Gordon and Susan set the table.

I’ve got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I was even on “The West Wing.” That’s where you want to be, right?

But today, I’m not happy to be me. I don’t feel like singing the ABC-DEF-GHIJK-LMNOP song.

Where are Mr. Snuffleupagus, Bert and Ernie, and all my other “Sesame Street” friends going to go if you get rid of the fe-de-ral sub-si-dy to PBS?

See, I still have to sound out big words like those.

Did you know that Count von Count can count all the way to 47%?

In closing, I’m going to sing you a song by the Cookie Monster, only I’m changing the words so you get my drift. And it starts with the letter O.

It goes like this:

O is for Obama, that’s good enough for me.

O is for Obama, that’s good enough for me.

O is for Obama, that’s good enough for me.

Obama, bama, bama that’s for me.


Love,
Big Bird
