"John Sununu, a top adviser to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, suggested Thursday that Colin Powell endorsed President Obama because both men are African American.
Asked Thursday on CNN about Powell's endorsement, Sununu said the endorsement might be for reasons other than policy.
"Frankly, when you take a look at Colin Powell, you have to wonder whether that's an endorsement based on issues or whether he's got a slightly different reason for preferring President Obama," Sununu said.
Asked what those might be, Sununu pointed to race.
"Well, I think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the United States, I applaud Colin for standing with him," Sununu said."* Cenk Uygur Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies), and John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) break down Sununu's comments and what they mean on his own opinions of race and endorsement.

You see, what's totally fucked up about this is that while Liberals have by history been the racists of Ammerica let one Republican state what he thinks is fact and the whole world comes tumbling down.
Being a Liberal is a diease.
Fact: The Republican Party was founded primarily to oppose slavery, and Republicans eventually abolished slavery. The Democratic Party fought them and tried to maintain and expand slavery.

Entirely the message is being flossed over by the liberal media and Colin Powell.
It's Obama's politics is the issue.
But what is lost by the liberal media is the fact that pride in skin colour isn't the problem. It's African Americans voting according to skin colour rather the substance of what makes the man, Obama.
African American, please what political affiliation created Barrack Obama? From youth to Senior student in University, Barrack Obama was a driven socialist sympathizer. His foundat More..

You dont quite seem to know your facts.
Debt by percentage of GDP as of 2011 (IMF statistics):
Sweden 37.44%
Finland 48.56%
Denmark 46.43
Norway 49.61
Now hold your breath! The US has a public debt of 102.94% of the GDP! So I don't know any other reason for you thinking the Nordic countries are broke other than watching FOX News.
The GDP/Public debt ratio for the Nordic countries mentioned above is projected to either stay the same or decline in the next four years where as the U More..

I'm not going to say the endorsement was based on race, but then I have no idea why Powell would endorse Obama.
He dismantled the missile shield in Poland, intervened in Libya (but did not intervene in Iran where it makes much more sense), and now, he looks incredibly weak on foreign policy with the Benghazi disaster.
I just don't see how Colin Powell could endorse Obama.
