On the same day as Powell's endorsement, Barack Obama's campaign announced it raised a record 150 million dollars last month dealing a another blow to rival John McCain's campaign.

With just two weeks to go, both candidates are making their final case to undecided voters.

Commenting on General Colin Powell's endorsement, Barack Obama told supporters on Sunday that he was quite honored.

In the midst of economic turmoil, Obama leads in national polls and in many battleground states. He sought to keep economic problems in the spotlight.

Barack Obama, Democrat Presidential Candidate, said, "For the last eight years we've tried it John McCain's way, we've tried it George Bush's way. We've given more and more with the most and hoped that prosperity would trickle down on everyone else. And guess what? It didn't work. So it's time to try something new. It's time to grow this economy from the bottom up. It's time to invest in the middle class again."
