Et tu, Financial Times?
It tickles me how the righties disparage Obama as a phony, an opportunist, an eloquent empty-suit celebrity...yet endow him with the sinister strength to bend America to his "socialist" will.
The rightwing radio gasbags spend a lot of time pushing the idiotic "Obama is a Marxist" theme.
I guess that means the Financial Times likes Marxists:
"Obama is the better choice"...October 26 2008...
"US presidential elections involve a fabulous expense of time, effort and money. Doubtless it is all too much – but, by the end, nobody can complain that the candidates have been too little scrutinized. We have learnt a lot about Barack Obama and John McCain during this campaign. In our view, it is enough to be confident that Mr Obama is the right choice.[..]
In responding to the economic emergency, Mr Obama has again impressed – not by advancing solutions of his own, but in displaying a calm and methodical disposition, and in seeking the best advice. Mr McCain’s hasty half-baked interventions were unnerving when they were not beside the point. [..]
The challenges facing the next president will be extraordinary. We hesitate to wish it on anyone, but we hope that Mr Obama gets the job.
Wow, an anti-tax, pro-business financial publication recognizing Obama as the only man with the necessary level-headed leadership skills required to repair the mess created by Republican policies over the last eight years.
No president is perfect, or will have all the answers. BUT, a great leader will gather knowledgeable people and will work with them to make the right decisions...to come up with the best possible plan to improve life for all Americans...not just a few.
