What Colin Powell's endorsement really means

Today on the American Meet the Press, former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsed Barak Obama for the Presidency of the United States. Some will say that it is a triumph for Barak Obama, gaining the support of a key figure in the first Bush administration (2000-2004), and will attempt to analyse the motives for him doing so.

But the reality of the situation is that this endorsement simply proves what some have known all along: that there is no difference between Barak Obama and John McCain, or even George Bush for that matter. They are all slaves to capitalism, proponents of a «free» market which has ravaged the world. The United States of America has no choice in this election.

Even looking at it from a «democratic» point of view, this is not a defeat for the Republicans, however how could any so-called «Democrat» cheer at the endorsement of their candidate by such a stalwart of the «right-wing» Bush Administration. The logical conclusion for any Democrat should be that their candidate is appealing to the Bush clique, and if that is so, then they should be disgusted, shouldn't they.
