Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama on Meet the Press

Today on NBC, Meet the Press, Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama.

"I come to the conclusion that because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities -- and you have to take that into account -- as well as his substance -- he has both style and substance," Powell said. "He has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president."
