Barack
Obama for Re-Election
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.
- The United States is embroiled in
unstable regions that could easily explode into full-blown disaster.
*that one is really hard*
|
- An ideological assault from the
right has started to undermine the vital health reform law passed in
2010.
- Those forces are eroding women’s
access to health care, and their right to control their lives.
- Mr. Obama prevented another Great
Depression.
Blah. Blah. Blah. |

ReplyDeleteThose 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.

Dead fish now refuse to be wrapped in the NYT.
ReplyDeleteYeah, 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
