Climate Change is One of the Reasons Colin Powell Endorses President Obama

Prominent Republican Colin Powell and former secretary of state under President George W. Bush, has endorsed President Obama for re-election in 2012. Powell is a retired four-star general, he was formally chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President George H.W. Bush and he was also national security advisor under former President Ronald Reagan.

President Obama’s position on climate change is one of the reasons Powell cited for his endorsement. Other reasons include the economy, foreign policy, defense, education, immigration, and health care.

At a rally in Richmond, Virginia, President Obama welcomed the endorsement, saying:

“I was proud and humbled to learn that we have Colin Powell’s support in this campaign. I’m grateful to him for his lifetime of service to his country both as a soldier and as a diplomat,” he told the crowd.

Powell also criticized Romney’s inconsistencies on foreign affairs, economic policy and defense.
