@jasongoldberg Check this out!Who says a company shouldn't be political! Then again, they can probably say just about anything and weather the consequences of it. "It's good to be the King". History of the World, Part One.

@friarminor I always thought that Colin Powell would make a great President. In his statement he just ABC'd the reasons he's voting for him in a clear and powerful way. I'll bet Powell will have a post in Obama's cabinet.

Mixing business and politics has a LOT of negative sides, but it also seems senseless not to take a position on something so important. I think Obama has said Powell is welcome in any capacity - it's up to him to decide the level.
