| Should Colin Powell return as U.S. Secretary of State? |
From NewsMax: "Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says President Barack Obama
should nominate Colin Powell as secretary of state as a 'bipartisan'
gesture toward mending fences with Republican senators who rejected U.N.
Ambassador Susan Rice for the post. 'I actually think it would not be a bad idea for President Obama to
seriously consider seeing if Colin Powell would come back out of
retirement because Colin did endorse him,' Gingrich told Fox News' Sean
Hannity Thursday night. 'That might be a bipartisan step that would move us in a direction
of a different kind of dialogue,' he said, suggesting that Powell's
moderate views would serve the country better than any other possible
nominees to succeed outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."
