Damn, I Have A LOT Respect For This Dude!
Say what you want about Colin Powell, but he sure is a straight shooter. You can sort of see why many of America’s loudest opponents worked with him when he was Secretary of State. You can tell he handles himself with a hell of a lot of integrity and transparency. Of course, it’s prolly easy to be so calm and collective when you’ve spent most of you career with an arsenal of F-22s on speed dial.
I really enjoyed Larry King’s interview last night. Powell kept is super real on a gang of issues including “Skip Gates Gate”, Afghanistan and the Obama administration. But the thing I liked most was that he expressed his very strong opinions without being disrespectful. He even stayed above the fray when Larry asked him about Rush Limbaugh’s ridiculously awkward critiques.
My favorite part was when he talked about his humble beginnings in NYC. Have you ever read his biography “My American Journey“? Powell’s story is pretty inspiring.
Check out the video if you missed it last night and let me know what you think.
