It's absurd to say that the future of Powell's career depended on endorsing Obama. I think it was actually riskier for him career-wise to endorse either candidate. If he had stayed out of it, he surely would have been offered an appointment by either side, and he may still. It's not like he was obligated to publicly endorse either way.
Just to show what kind of asshat Mick Wright is, here's his defense of using a derrogatory bastardization of Obama's name.

The Original Mud Puppy says, ?I don?t respect commentary from anyone that refers to Barack Obama as Barry, BO, or BRCK BM.?
Since his apostles continue to have difficulty with my designation, please allow me to explain.
I started referring to the Junior Senator from Illinois exclusively as BRCK BM on February 28th, giving him the same honor the Hebrews reserved for YHWH.
Such reverence was necessary because his religious followers objected to BRCK BM?s full name being spoken or written, since using his given name was ?an obvious attempt to associate him with The Great Muslim Menace.?
Hoping to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, the Democratic Presidential Candidate?s name had to be handled with extreme care and reverence. Unfortunately, it appears even this considered, controlled measure has been judged inadequate. But next to Chimpy McBu ? the commonly-accepted Leftist term for our current President ? BRCK BM stands up pretty well.
Still, I fully suspect the Left will continue to preemptively reject conservative commentary no matter how we refer to BRCK BM ? named, unnamed, nicknamed, This One, That One or simply The One. It?s just another excuse to ignore and/or prosecute those who disagree? until that blessed Red Dawn when The Fairness Doctrine silences us permanently.

Thanks for the divination, Nostradamus. Could you tell us who is going to win the World Series, so we can place some bets? Need I remind you that after 9/11, the whole western world proclaimed solidarity with the US? The international opinion went from a near all-time high to a near all-time low in just a couple of years. Can you tell me with a straight face that W had nothing to do with that? Of course not everyone in the world will like the US, no matter who is POTUS, but having one that doesn't constantly give the finger to the rest of the world will only help our perception.
