If you didnapos;t see Powell on Meet the Press this weekend, you should. He is easily for me, one of the few men in our government that I respect immensely and would vote for him if he ever ran for higher office. I certainly hope that Obama asks him to serve, and I believe that he would accept.

One issue that he brings up which I think needs to be by both candidates - but both of whom are afraid to do so due to fear of backlash and loss of votes - is the belief among many Americans that being Muslim or an Arab in some way makes you an evil or bad person. That if Obama were Muslim that he wouldnapos;t be fit to run for the presidency. That an Arab should not be a part of our government. That belief goes against everything it means to be an American. It is the ugly face of racism and hate rearing its head in our country.

Ben Affleck actually brought this up on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday. When the woman in McCainapos;s crowd said "Obama is an Arab" and he corrected her he said, "No maapos;am heapos;s not, heapos;s a good man." While he was trying to correct the womanapos;s ignorance, he reinforces this belief that Arab = Bad.

That shit drives me crazy.
