You have to look at whether that’s an endorsement based on issues or he’s got a slightly different reason for endorsing President Obama. I think when you have somebody of your own race that you’re proud of being president of the United States – I applaud Colin for standing with him.

John Sununu, a top adviser to Mitt Romney, suggesting part of the reason Colin Powell endorsed Obama is because he’s black. (via officialssay)

Only in this political climate can an asshat like John Sununu say something like that AND accuse the President of creating racial divides.

barackobama: President Obama in Florida this morning: Now, I’ve got a plan that will actually create jobs, a plan that will actually create middle-class security. And unlike Mitt Romney, I’m proud to talk about that plan—because the math actually adds up. I want you all to take a look at it. You can go to BarackObama.com/plans. And I want you to share those plans with your friends and neighbors and coworkers. There are still people out there who are trying to make up their minds. There might even be some here who are trying to make up their minds, maybe. No, no, maybe your girlfriend said you’ve got to come. She’s smart enough, she’s already voting for Obama, but you need some persuading.

I’m calling on Congress to extend the tax cuts for the 98 percent of Americans who make less than $250,000 for another year. If Congress doesn’t do this, millions of American families could see their taxes go up by $2,200 starting on January 1st of next year. And that would be a big blow to working families, and it would be a drag on the entire economy.
President Obama this morning. What would you have to give up if you lost $85 a paycheck?  (via barackobama)
No, you can’t deny women their basic rights and pretend it’s about your ‘religious freedom.’ If you don’t like birth control, don’t use it. Religious freedom doesn’t mean you can force others to live by your own beliefs.

President Barack Obama
