Colin Powell Endorses Obama For Re-Election

Submitted by Cheston Catalano

The former Secretary of State said we should stay on the track we’re on.

Powell criticized Romney’s foreign policy as inconsistent and questioned the former Massachusetts governor’s ability to tackle the deficit and looming defense cuts.

“I’m not quite sure which Governor Romney we’d be getting with respect to foreign policy,” Powell said, calling Romney’s foreign policy “a moving target.”

As for the U.S. budget, he added: “It’s essentially, let’s cut taxes and compensate for that with other things, but that compensation does not cover all the cuts intended or the expenses associated with defense.”

And Powell says he has problems with some of Romney’s neoconservative views.
