I was wondering if Powell would implicitly back Obama.
Turns out he doesn't do anything by halves

"I'm also troubled by, not what Sen. McCain says, but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said such things as: "Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim." Well, the correct answer is: he is not a Muslim. He's a Christian. He's always been a Christian. But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is: No, that's not America. Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she can be president?"

THat shouldn't be a noteworthy statement.
Oh, and looking around the interwebs, there seem to be a
lot of angry people, most taking Mikhayl's joke seriously.
