Kansas City Star endorses President Obama

President Barack Obama entered the Oval Office under dire conditions — a hemorrhaging economy and a dispirited GOP intent on limiting him to one term, at any cost.

Despite those odds, he has kept his cool and his head.

His policies helped the middle class and kept a deep recession from becoming worse. He repaired America’s reputation in the world. And he got important legislation passed.

For that, the nation is better — not fully healed, but pushing forward. He has earned another four years.

they've been coming in so fast, and there are SO many surprises on there (like the SLC one.) Would love to see them all in one place.

Has anyone big actually endorsed Romney? I mean if the biggest paper in Utah endorsed the President, who is left for Romney? Heck, even Alabama's biggest paper endorsed the PResident.
