Powell’s Reaction to the Election
CNN has an interesting post-election interview with Colin Powell, whose endorsement of Obama grabbed headlines a few weeks ago. Keep in mind that this is a man who has been to war, who broke barriers of his own as a general, as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and as Secretary of State. His public persona, even in politics, has been that of a stoic warrior. But upon hearing that Obama was the president-elect of the United States, he reacted the way many Americans reacted last night: He wept.

When the childish lefties are finished (hopefully by next week!) with their more-emotional-than-usual behavior and turbocharged puppy love, they should try thinking (for a change [tm]) and realize that someone like Powell, who endorsed Obama, may have tipped or tilted numerous voters who had been undecided late in the election.
Get a grip dude. The only one being childish at the moment is you.
Elyas, check your spelling.
