Powell endorses Obama!
watching the clip from meet the press this morning made me cry. okay, so i'm premenstrual, but it gave me so much hope for this election, really feeling like despite my fears of vote machine tampering, despite the bigotry and hate you see at the mccain/palin rallies, despite it all, we may actually have a new president that can do some good for this country.
but more, i think, was mr. powell stating the thing that hasn't yet been said...obama is christian. okay. but if he were muslim? what's wrong with a 7 year-old muslim kid thinking (s)he could grow up to be president? that's the thing of it, a vision of america that's larger than the narrow view promoted by the right. i'm a hopeful girl this morning.
oh, and by the way, if you're looking for some belly laughs, check out these SNL skits. hot dog.
