Barack Obama says Colin Powell is welcome to campaign for him and might have a place in his administration.

Obama tells NBC's "Today" show Powell "will have a role as one of my advisers." Whether Powell wants to take a formal role, Obama says, would be "something we'd have to discuss."

Obama says Powell, a retired four-star general who served as President Bush's secretary of state, did not give him a heads-up before he crossed party lines and endorsed the Democratic presidential candidate yesterday on the network's "Meet the Press."

Powell said on that program he didn't plan to campaign for Obama before the Nov. 4 election.

Obama says he'd love to have Powell on the campaign trail.

Hope Powell is willing to lie in the bed he just made. Washington DC has a long and vivid memory.

Wonder what money and promises are changing hands, Powell is just throwing a tantrum because the Reps didn't give him a foot rub when he whined.
