Detroit Free Press endorses Obama for president

Good judgment makes good presidents.

A chief executive's ability to be steady yet decisive, and thoughtful when bravado might be enticing, can be the difference between success and disaster in the Oval Office. It's more important than experience, which can be mistakenly equated with wisdom.

So the choice Americans face in the Nov. 4 presidential election is a clear one: between the relatively inexperienced Democratic senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, who has shown a knack for developing well-reasoned solutions to the nation's many critical problems, and John McCain, the longtime Republican senator from Arizona, a genuine American war hero with a creditable streak of political independence, who has shown himself to be erratic, impulsive and bullheaded as a political leader.

At a time when America clearly needs some changes, Obama is not only proposing better ones but is also better suited to the job of getting them done. The Free Press endorses Democrat BARACK OBAMA for president. . .

This may not be a surprise. But it is, as always with the Free Press, and my home town, worth reading.

1. Is there a list somewhere of all the newspaper endorsements?

It seems like they're piling up for Obama. I'd like to see all of them, on both sides, just to see if it's really as good as it looks like it is. I mean, yesterday the Salt Lake Tribune endorsed Obama. I almost fainted!

On edit: I found a list:

Obama has a sizable lead!

4. I'll be surprised when I see The Detroit News endorse him

Or maybe they'll take the chicken's way out like they did in 2004 and not endorse anyone.
