| Description | Former US secretary of state Colin Powell said Monday he is pleased by African-American White House hopeful Barack Obama's success in the early presidential nominating contests.
On the eve of the crucial New Hampshire polls to nominate a Democratic and Republican candidate, Powell told public television PBS he is "taking joy" in success of the Illinois senator, who won the Democratic vote in last week's key first nominating contest in Iowa.
Powell also urged Americans to "enjoy this moment where a person like Barack Obama can knock down all of these old barriers that people thought existed with respect to the opportunities that are available to African-Americans." |
