The Washington Post endorses Obama and what is the first reason listed...
"Mr. Obama is a man of supple intelligence, with a nuanced grasp of complex issues and evident skill at conciliation and consensus-building."
- Yes his intelligence is supple, supple in that it floats with the wind of the latest polls. This of course leads to a "nuanced grasp of complex issues"...or...never taking a stand on anything, well maybe perhaps a nuanced stand. "evident skill at conciliation"...conciliation with who? Anyone and everyone regardless of past or present actions or aggressions?
"At home, we believe, he would respond to the economic crisis with a healthy respect for markets tempered by justified dismay over rising inequality ..."
- I guess we can just turn off the 'inequality' switch on the 'free market machine'? Or we could just buy the 'Marxist machine'...but I hear that doesn't come with a 'Quality' switch.
"Abroad, the best evidence suggests that he would seek to maintain U.S. leadership and engagement, continue the fight against terrorists, and wage vigorous diplomacy on behalf of U.S. values and interests."
- Pullout of Iraq = fighting terrorists? Can someone ask him where he would like to fight them.
"Mr. Obama also understands that the most important single counter to inequality, and the best way to maintain American competitiveness, is improved education..."
- Why don't we actually talk about how Obama wants to improve education? The only thing I know to be true of his possible education philosophy is that he helped raise money to promote the educational philosophy of Bill Ayers. I want to hear something different from just throwing more money at it.
All right I won't pick the whole thing apart. Pretty good read overall. I have much more respect for the Wasington Post than for quite a few others. But even they are not immune to 'Obamatization.'
