While Colin L. Powell hasn’t decided who to endorse — he says he’s friends with all the candidates — he had words of praise for Barack Obama and his recent speech on race. Mr. Powell, the nation’s first black secretary of state, told “Good Morning America” host Diane Sawyer Thursday that he “admired” the way Mr. Obama addressed the contentious sermons of his pastor, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, and agreed with much of what Mr. Obama said. “I thought that Senator Obama handled the issue well,” Mr. Powell said. “He didn’t abandon the minister that brought him closer to his faith, but at the same time he deplored the kinds of statements that the Reverend Wright had made.” Colin Powell Praises Obama, but Doesn’t EndorseComments
