The Oregonian endorses Obama

Obama for President
by The Editorial Board
Saturday October 18, 2008, 10:02 AM

The Democrat brings a new hope to a country that badly needs it



In the century and a half that Oregon and The Oregonian have been making presidential choices, there has rarely been a time when the nation so desperately needed a sharp change in direction.

To provide that change, The Oregonian strongly urges voters to support Barack Obama.

Obama has the best chance, and the best abilities, to rebuild an American economy that has grown dangerously unstable, with government, consumers and the nation itself spiraling deeply into debt and selling off the national future to pay for daily expenses. He is the best choice to rebuild the American position in the world, to restore our ties with traditional allies, to re-make the American argument to the rest of the world.

Crucially, Barack Obama can recall the United States to its own highest principles and priorities. He can change course after an administration that has often cut constitutional and legal corners, and frequently stumbled into policy and philosophical embarassment.

3. Oh, how I hate that rotten, stinking newspaper
Wait until they endorse Gordon Smith. Ya'll know that's next.

A memory I'll never forget is when the REAL Oregonians marched against the war RIGHT PAST THEIR HQ on 8/22/02 and they hired a helicopter to try to minimize the size of the crowd from the real 40-50 thousand to their 14K fantasy.

I despise the Oregonian newspaper. I can't wait for them to go under.
