When Powell made his big announcement yesterday, did he supply any secret satellite photos of Obama's qualifications?

Powell is sincere, but like many others he wishes Obama to be better than he is and is turning a blind eye to some serious issues. * * *

He does deserve respect for his service. There is a way to look at his endorsement charitably. He likely believes Obama will get elected. And his endorsement was clearly made as part of a deal whereby Powell would work for Obama - Obama's announcement today confirms that. It is possible that Powell is telling himself if he's inside the administration, he can be a steady experienced hand shaping policy - maybe the only steady hand there. Everyone else would be retreads from the Carter-Clinton eras.
