You know, I think that President Obama is a person who has a great relationship with a number of people. Colin Powell does, too. I think Colin Powell is a fine American, a great leader and sees things in President Obama that he agrees with. He's entitled to have his opinion.

The struggle you see in the Republican Party today is the country club Republican versus the bowling alley Republican. Colin Powell brings us back to the country club image. He's an insider. He's a moderate.

Secretary Powell and I agree on every single issue that has ever been before this administration except for those instances where Colin's still learning.

I try to speak my points of view about black America, and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women.

It is hard for a black man to just be himself. We spend so much time in defense of something that is indefensible because there is nothing to defend.

Much of America rooted for Mr. Obama simply because he is black.

I am not an enemy of the Negro. We want him here among us; he is the only laboring class we have.

If you're looking for the safe choice, you shouldn't be supporting a black guy named Barack Obama to be the next leader of the free world.

I have great respect for President Bush, Secretary Powell and Secretary Ridge.

I'm a friend of Colin Powell. We talk quite often.
