I am deeply saddened by the death of Colin Powell. He was the consummate public servant who placed country over politics. Knowing being “a first” carried extra responsibilities, he always exuded character, integrity & the strength of his convictions. Thank you, for your service.
@ValerieJarrett @BarackObama I met him in a green room when he was just done being Secretary of State. I listened to him do business for one hour and told him if he ever ran for President, I would quit my job and work full time to get him elected. He seemed to like the offer but never took me up on it.
@ValerieJarrett @BarackObama R.I.P. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Colin Powell
@ValerieJarrett @BarackObama Except that there were no WMDs in Iraq just like Hans Blix said. Powell holding up a little tube at the UN will be his lasting legacy.
@ValerieJarrett @BarackObama just not THAT country. You know the one, right?
