Former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell on Sunday endorsed the presidential candidacy of Senator Barack Obama, calling him a “transformational figure” who has displayed “a steadiness” during his race against Senator John McCain.
“He has both style and substance,” Mr. Powell said, speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He added, “Obama has displayed a steadiness; showed intellectual vigor. He has a definitive way of doing business that will do us well.”
He also expressed disappointment at certain, um, choices the McCain campaign has made; including trying to tie Obama with former Weather Underground member William Ayers and his choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Despite my last Twitter post, I’m…cautiously optimistic at this point. However it works out in the end, this endorsement is huge.
