The nation's political system is in trouble but not broken, says former U. S. Secretary of State, Colin Powell.

Powell said on Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," It's a great system but it's in some disarray right now and the American people are looking for their leaders to fix it."

Powell, a republican and a retired four-star U. S. Army general said," Congressional leaders need to find ways to "get the country moving and not just scream at each other."

Powell, who endorsed Democrat Barack Obama as president, said he would do so again because Obama's agenda, though overly ambitious, helped lift a collapsing economy.

Powell further said," I think he has done quite a few things well to stabilize the situation. But I'm afraid he put too much on the plate for the American people to absorb at this time."

On national security, Powell disagreed with recent comments by former Vice President Dick Cheney that America is at greater risk of a terrorist attack because of Obama administration policy. (With Input from Agencies)
