The coveted NYT Endorsement- LOL










Barack Obama for Re-Election

Res Ipsa Loquitor

I've truly been waiting for this, the New York Times's endorsement of Obama for reelection, which arrives on Manhattan doorsteps on the morrow.  I couldn't wait to see what possible justification they would, or could come up with this time—for recommending yet  another voyage on the political equivalent of the Titanic. I did know it would a doozy.  It had to be.  While entirely predictable, it is that.

Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, has gotten this far with a guile that allows him to say whatever he thinks an audience wants to hear. But he has tied himself to the ultraconservative forces that control the Republican Party and embraced their policies, including reckless budget cuts and 30-year-old, discredited trickle-down ideas.

Sometimes silence is its own reward, and the sharpest sword. . 
  • The economy is slowly recovering from the 2008 meltdown, and the country could suffer another recession if the wrong policies take hold.
Secret Code; Blow Me NYT
  • The United States is embroiled in unstable regions that could easily explode into full-blown disaster.
Secret Code; Blow Me NYT *that one is really hard*
  • An ideological assault from the right has started to undermine the vital health reform law passed in 2010.
Secret Code; Blow Me NYT
  • Those forces are eroding women’s access to health care, and their right to control their lives.
Secret Code; Blow Me NYT
  • Mr. Obama prevented another Great Depression.  
—!  

Blah.  Blah. Blah.

the ultraconservative forces

Those racist, debt-snipping, anti-reparationalist, budget-balancing, greedy racists!!!

But Rodger, aren't you being a tad unfair? This is really no different than when the NYT endorsed Ike for a 2nd term. Wasn't that a good thing? Hmmm?

An interesting look at the Wiemar republic, hyper inflation and how it effected the US.

While it didn't mention the US, think about what was happening in the US at the same time along the timeline.

Yeah, and my parrot had a bad case of diarrhea right after I printed and placed that column in the bottom of the cage. -- Skyhawker, Doug
