Powell

From Generation O:

I wished Obama had been as articulate as former Secretary of State Colin Powell. When Powell appeared on Meet the Press a few weeks before the election, he officially endorsed Obama. As a bonus, he also addressed the questions surrounding Obama’s religious beliefs. Powell commented, “Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian… But the really right answer is, what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer’s no, that’s not America.”

I like this excerpt. It kinda shows how it’s easy for people, for us, to lose sight on the more important things.
