I have Respect for both me. I love the things that Gen. Colin Powell(Ret) has done through his service for our Country. Many have called for him to run for President. I am not sure why he never ran. I strongly believe in my heart he would have been the first Black President. Do you AGREE or DISAGREE?

I would have loved to have seen Powell run, the man was intelligent, had common sense and just a manner about him.

Sec. Powell had the qualifications and experience to be a good POTUS, but the (R) party didn't want him. They dropped subtle hints about his wife allegedly being promiscuous in college, and it seems that he didn't want to drag them both through the mud. His experience as CJCS and Sec of State would have prepared him better than Pres. Obama's legal and community planning background IMO. He also served on the NSC during his military career.

They would/are about equal in my opinion. I would not vote for either. Based on foreign policy believes. At the time in 2000 I would have voted for him but time makes people wiser and I now think he would not have been as aggressive as Bush. We wouldn’t have gone into Iraq and Iraq would have turned into a new terrorist stronghold in the end and we would have an entirely different problem.

I think Powell would have been a great President, far far superior to President Obama. President Obama had a completely unrealistic view of the World.

Colin Powell, by far. He was a man of integrity and vision; he always wanted what was the best for America. None of those apply to Barak Obama.
