CHARLIE ROSE: Will you endorse President Obama?

COLIN POWELL: Yes…. When he took over…we were in one of the worst recessions we had seen in recent times, close to a depression…. And I saw, over the next several years, stabilization come back in the financial community. Housing is now starting to pick up…. The actions he’s taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very, very solid. So I think we ought to keep on the track that we’re on.
