I’ve been thinking about writing a Why-I-am-voting-for-Obama post.

The motivating force has been the robocall and two ugly pieces of mail the “Republican Federal Committee of Pennsylvania–Victory 2008″ recently sent to my home.

The mailings so despicably and ridiculously smear Obama as “soft on crime” and a supporter of terrorists, that I was moved to post something in response.

Instead, I will simply direct you to Colin Powell’s eloquent endorsement of Obama.

I could not agree more with Powell’s comments and rationale. I share his view that the divisive politics being employed in this presidential campaign are causing terrible harm to our country.

Powell’s comments about the fear-mongering against Muslims were especially good to hear.

At right, is the photo of the grieving mother of an American soldier Powell referenced in his endorsement of Obama.
