I am not American, I am from the UK and I know very little about your political system, – I am sure Mr McCain or Mr Obama would make good Presidents. However, can anyone tell me why General Powell doesn’t run?…..I have always been impressed with his courtesy and sage advice when interviewed on TV. Am I missing something? I can’t help but feel that he would be a President to be truly proud of. Julie
I think his reason has been mostly personal. It is a great stress on your family to run for President in this country. And I remember his wife being not fully on board with the idea some years ago. Not to mention there is a fair to even belief that the first minority president would be a target for an extremist group.
How powerful indeed!!!!!
