"Hip-Hop-Dancing Colin Powell Fuels Speculation He'll Endorse Obama"
"Colin Powell showed off his hip-hop moves at an 'Africa Rising' celebration in London Tuesday, fueling speculation that the former Secretary of State is about to endorse Barack Obama for president."
Huh? No. Fox didn't REALLY say that... Did they?
Let's take a peak below the fold and straighten out this whole silly racist-sounding mess...
Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell dances at an African-American festival inside London's Royal Albert Hall
Colin Powell has his dancing shoes on, fueling speculation that he's gearing up to do the Obama Two-Step.
Well, I guess Fox did say that. But there must be some logical answer other than what seems obvious... that Fox is racist. Of course, that's silly - right?
The normally staid former U.S. secretary of state and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff performed an impromptu hip-hop dance alongside well-known rap stars Tuesday following a speech at a festival in London celebrating African-American music and fashion. .
His address at the "Africa Rising" celebration inside London's Royal Albert Hall fueled speculation that an endorsement of Barack Obama is imminent.
Oh Well. I guess they said what they said - and three times over!!
"Powell -- who has yet to back a candidate -- told the audience: "I stand before you as an African-American. Many people have said to me you became secretary of state of the USA, is it still necessary to say that you are an African American or that you are black? And I say yes, so that we can remind our children."
"It took a lot of people struggling to bring me to this point in history," Powell told the audience. "I didn't just drop out of the sky. People came from my continent in chains."
Powell has said in the past that he has been hesitant to make an endorsement until he hears more from both candidates."
So Colin has performed his African American Minstrel show for Fox's amusement and speculation and now he wants to sit back and listen to the final debate before endorsing a candidate? I guess he was practicing his moves for Victoria and Albert Hall for the last 20 months and missed the Media vetting, the 25 Primary debates and the first two Presidential debates. But now we know that Powell is indeed black, and therefore (according to Fox), if he picks Barack it's a Black gimme thang and if he doesn't (especially after doing that African Hip-Hop Gangsta Terrorist dance in public), well, then... Barack is toast.
"Political pundits have speculated that his endorsement might come shortly after Wednesday night's presidential debate at Hofstra University, during which both Obama and John McCain will square off on domestic issues.
Right after Barack stops dancing with McCain and nails him three out of three.
"Many political analysts -- including Zbigniew Brzezinski, Robert Novak and William Kristol -- have predicted that Powell, who was secretary of state under President Bush, will back the Democrat in the race."
Yeah. But we still don't know who Zbig's mentally challenged daughter, Mika is rooting for.
"After Powell's address to the audience, he took center stage -- dressed in a suit and tie -- to show off his hip-hop dance moves."
I guess the Burka with with basic black Nikes was too much.
