He's speaking to reporters outside NBC studio now.

Fox is avoiding this story BIG TIME.

1. He's not only endorsing Obama, but endorsing his POLICIES and slamming McCain's
negative campaign.

21. I don't know...
we have had Kerry fighting for Barack. Obviously Biden. But they are considered "partisan" by the media, etc. I don't know why in God's name Hagel hasn't spoken up on this shit.

10. ha
He called out Bachmann! And said that the "new thing" he guesses is that they are calling Obama a socialist, and talks about how stupid it is. And said that the Ayers type of stuff fuels the images that people across the world see that make them want to get us in America.

16. He was wonderful. No matter what you think of Powell
he just stood up and slapped his own party for the darkness they've been toying with in order to win an election. Good on him.

17. AMAZING statement by Powell... stated our Democratic position beautifully
and shot down McCain camp main talking point by saying that looking at the tax structure is legitimate, that taxes paid come back to us in roads, bridges, infrastructure.... HOLY COW.

ANd gave a scathing indictment of how McCain's negative campaign hurts America int he eyes of the world.

19. Brutal. He effectively tied our big problems with McAnus' tactics.
Well done Sec. Powell. You're still a liar, but this does give you a morsel of redemption.

:-) I can't believe on MSNBC they were already talking about how long this story will dominate...unreal....I think sometimes GOD himself/herself would have to endorse for the media to see it as big news....
