Here is the photo that Colin Powell referenced in his endorsement of Obama this week. Seems like a lot of people in this state were quite upset with the predjudice Romney recieved when running earlier this year but don't have much of a problem with all of the the insinuation that Obama is a muslim and is therefore not fit for public office.

HERE IS PART OF AN INTERVIEW WITH COLIN POWELL THAT HELPS BRIANS POINT.
Reporter: Sir, what part did McCain's negativity play in your decision, the negative tone of the campaign?
Powell: It troubled me. We have two wars. We have economic problems. We have health problems. We have education problems. We have infrastructure problems. We have problems around the world with our allies. So those are the problems the American people wanted to hear about, not about Mr. Ayers, not about who's a Muslim or who's not a Muslim. Those kinds of images going out on Al-Jazeera are killing us around the world.
And we have got to say to the world, it doesn't make any difference who you are or what you are, if you're an American, you're an American. And this business, for example, of the congressman from Minnesota who's going around saying, "Let's examine all congressmen to see who is pro-America or not pro-America" -- we have got to stop this kind of nonsense, pull ourselves together and remember that our great strength is in our unity and in our diversity. And so, that really was driving me.
