Ever since Colin Powell’s carefully timed endorsement of Barack Obama two weeks before the presidential election, the two appear to have a special bond.

Perhaps before ObamaCare those two admirers talked.
Did Powell warn with sage advice, though O sure must have known it;
His famous rule for pottery: you break it then you own it?

Enjoy Niceville! I’ve been there a couple of times for work. They have a great public library.
