(OT) Powell endorses Obama for President / Cheney Endorses McCain
 

Sen. John McCain has received an endorsement -- perhaps unwelcome --
on the eve of the election.


Obama replied to the endorsement in remarks leaked to the Huffington
Post.

"I'd like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because
he really earned it," Obama said. "That endorsement didn't come easy.
Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and
Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington's biggest cheerleader
for going to war in Iraq, and supports economic policies that are no
different from the last eight years. So Senator McCain worked hard to
get Dick Cheney's support."

"But here's my question for you, Colorado: do you think Dick Cheney is
delighted to support John McCain because he thinks John McCain's going
to bring change?" he added. "Do you think John McCain and Dick Cheney
have been talking about how to shake things up, and get rid of the
lobbyists and the old boys club in Washington?"
