1. Of course he does!

McCain barely talks to his political opponent, so we know General Petraeus ain't voting for that fool.

2. Now THAT would be a kicker of an endorsement for Obama. Forget Colin Powell.

What a well-deserved slap in the face to McCain that would be after he lied about Petraeus' position being aligned with his own.

5. In this day and age Colin Powell's endorsement doesn't hold any ounce of importance.

That man is a traitor to the American people by not denouncing the lies that ruined our economy and killed so many of our soldiers at the call of the President. Instead all he did was put in his resignation and left and allowed 8 years of this non-sense. He sickens me and basically his vote would not even have swayed the Black vote if that was considered one of his because he's a Republican traitor.

Paetreus holds a different importance considering he's a General on land in Iraq and he's touted by Repubs as a God. Then he goes and supports Obama. That's a glowing recognition.

10. Can you believe Colin Powell being a character witness for Sen. Stevens?

3. He may as well endorse Obama

because you know McShame will reach for his Petraeus card during his bogus surge lecture as always, and walk into a political asswhooping.

4. Maybe that WAS his way of endorsing Obama. Hard for active military to be candid.

6. He knows McBombBombIran is a loose cannon

I'm sure many folks in the Pentagon are pulling for Obama because he offers a sane foreign policy.

7. Aww, I bet that hurt McCain's feelings deeply

considering the enormous man-crush he seems to have on Petraeus.

8. I see this as a full endorsement of Obama.

No doubt in my mind.

9. Heritage wants Petraeus to run for president.

He says he won't, and I believe that. But how do they know he would run as a Republican? Remember, he's very smart.
