Obama to meet with Colin Powell

President Obama will meet privately with Colin Powell this afternoon, according to the White House schedule.

Obama will sit down with Powell in the Oval Office. The President's schedule is open for two and half hours, though it's unclear if all of that time will be spent with Powell.

This will be the first meeting between the two since Obama was inaugurated. Powell's endorsement of Obama, of course, was seen as a pivotal event in the campaign.
