NY Times officially endorses Obama. They're like the supredelegates trying to make their endorsements the most dramatic. As usual the endorsement includes the expected trashing of Sen McCain. Can't ever be strictly for Obama - they have to tear down his opponent and their supporters to make him look better, because, really, what has he actually done? Anyway, NY Times:
Mr. Obama has met challenge after challenge, growing as a leader and putting real flesh on his early promises of hope and change. He has shown a cool head and sound judgment. We believe he has the will and the ability to forge the broad political consensus that is essential to finding solutions to this nation's problems.
In the same time, Senator John McCain of Arizona has retreated farther and farther to the fringe of American politics, running a campaign on partisan division, class warfare and even hints of racism. His policies and worldview are mired in the past. His choice of a running mate so evidently unfit for the office was a final act of opportunism and bad judgment that eclipsed the accomplishments of 26 years in Congress.Wouldn't be an Obama endorsement without the racism charge. Notice that each and every one Obama's opponents are racists? Where is this race speech maker who preaches unity but does nothing? Do you see the persistent theme? Lofty talk not followed by action. I'm sure it would be the same if he ran against a black opponent because Obama needed to prove he was "black enough" before the back community got behind him. They were initially voting against (no one is ever voting FOR his opponent - they are all voting AGAINST him.) because they didn't think he would win. And the 8 million black votes who couldn't be bothered to even register? Madness. Joe laughed out loud at the racism charge. And there's the elitism charge brought on by Obama himself. And the compulsory - he ran a vicious campaign. Do they really believe this or is it the standard party line? Annie, I've just about had enough too. Then there's the running mate is unfit so he's a doddering old fool. If it was worth the effort I'd compare this endorsement with the primaries.
Given the particularly ugly nature of Mr. McCain's campaign, the urge to choose on the basis of raw emotion is strong. But there is a greater value in looking closely at the facts of life in America today and at the prescriptions the candidates offer. The differences are profound.Raw emotion? It's comedy hour. That's what Obama's campaign is based on. Look at the articles. It's been a consistent and persistent Obama lovefest, Hillary trashing and McCain destroying campaign. I wonder how much responsibility they will own up to when the voter registration/voter fraud comes to light? There's more but why bother. It's like the "statements" - they're all written from templates by the Obama campaign.
