LA Times Endorses Obama

[MacGurl]

First time ever endorsing a Democrat - http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/edit...8206.story

the presidential campaign has rendered McCain nearly unrecognizable. His selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate was, as a short-term political tactic, brilliant. It was also irresponsible, as Palin is the most unqualified vice presidential nominee of a major party in living memory. The decision calls into question just what kind of thinking -- if that's the appropriate word -- would drive the White House in a McCain presidency.

Oh, my...what wonderful writing!

These are qualities American leadership has sorely lacked for close to a decade. The Constitution, more than two centuries old, now offers the world one of its more mature and certainly most stable governments, but our political culture is still struggling to shake off a brash and unseemly adolescence. In George W. Bush, the executive branch turned its back on an adult role in the nation and the world and retreated into self-absorbed unilateralism.

That's only because the L.A. Times has not heretofore endorsed any Presidential candidates. If they did it would have never been the Republican candidate in my 49 years of reading them. Yes I read them as an infant. :eek2:

Flash: Dog licks self.It will dramatically advance America's slow progress toward equality and
inclusion. With traditional media's public approval rating down around 7-11%, getting an
endorsement from them is like waking up with a horse head in your bed!

I guess Anne Coulter, Michelle Malkin and the National Review aren't far behind.

As well as easing genital pain.

I said almost exactly the same thing about McCain's choice of Palin. Sad, but true.

I think their last endorsement was Nixon in 72.
