Last week, in an interview with CBS, Colin Powell endorsed Obama’s campaign for Presidency.
Powell, who was Secretary of State for Republican President George W Bush from 2001-05, made a series of warm remarks about Obama’s administration, but also made some damning criticisms about Romney’s failings as a candidate.
Obama’s team have decided to make an ad which uses only the positive comments, as opposed to an attack ad using the comments that were derogatory about Romney.
The President’s campaign thus far has been overwhelming negative, so this is quite a refreshing change in tack.
