John Sununu, a co-chairman of the Romney campaign said Powell’s endorsement of Obama couldn’t possibly be the product of purposeful deliberation over the candidates’ policies.
In Sununu’s world of racial reductionism, Powell’s endorsement had a more base explanation: it was a black thing.
“When you take a look at Colin Powell, you have to wonder whether that’s an endorsement based on issues or whether he’s got a slightly different reason for preferring President Obama.”
Sununu is the same man who said that the president performed poorly in the first debate because “he’s lazy and disengaged.”
He is also the same man who said of the president, “I wish this president would learn how to be an American.”
Could Sununu be unaware that many would register such comments as coded racism? Or was that the intent?
