Boulder Daily Camera endorses Obama: Four more years: Support for Barack Obama's second term

[Drunken Irishman]

Today, we still support our president, and we endorse him for president for a second term. And we still don't believe he will usher revolutionary transformation into Washington. But we certainly hope the U.S. Congress will agree that having the lowest approval rating in history might be a sign that doing very little -- abusing the filibuster, and refusing to work together on critical legislation that the economy needs -- isn't what most Americans want.

We're glad the war in Iraq is over, but we wish the troops from Afghanistan would be withdrawn more quickly. We are happy to have comprehensive health care reform, but wish it went farther. It is hoped that as elements of it continue to be implemented, there will be numerous opportunities to drive the cost of health care in America down -- increasing the risk pool and enhancing preventative care will help, but it's not enough.

We are glad Osama bin Laden was killed.

And while the economy is affected by a lot of factors, under Obama the economy has been adding 150,000 jobs a month, though the unemployment numbers aren't shrinking fast enough. The stock market has rebounded admirably, even robustly, which helps everyone from wealthy CEOs to middle class employees with a retirement fund.
