New York Post Endorses Obama

Democrats in 22 states across America go to the polls next Tuesday to pick between two presidential prospects: Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

We urge them to choose Obama - an untried candidate, to be sure, but preferable to the junior senator from New York.

Obama represents a fresh start.

His opponent, and her husband, stand for déjà vu all over again - a return to the opportunistic, scandal-scarred, morally muddled years of the almost infinitely self-indulgent Clinton co-presidency.

Does America really want to go through all that once again?

I guess we now know who the right wing Republicans would rather run against in November. Why do you think Sean Hannity, Dick Morris, Joe Scarborough and now the New York Post are all bashing Hillary? Obama has certainly suceeded in "uniting" the right wingers.

This is actually a huge endorsement, The New York Post has a 6 grade reading level or maybe lower, most people that read the post are minorities, if you actually see the NY Post is more celebrity news than any other topic. Keep minorities dumb and ill imformed, that way they vote for St. Obama and that way Repigs could have a feast on Nov and win the White House. Nice trick Murdoch and it just might work.

New York Times - Hillary
New York Post - Obama

Yep, Hillary won the round big time. Post endorsement probably hurts Obama in New York.

Rupert Murdoch's paper, guess Obama gave him what Hillary wouldn't.

Victor Hugo

"An invasion of armies can be resisted. But not an idea whose time has come."

...and that, i believe is what led to john edwards dropping out; the impossibility of fighting the winds of change. this election is very different but not only because of a woman and a black man.

obama is riding the winds of change, his message resonates because its time has come.

Hillary's secret agenda for Bill: "Bill will be planting flowers at Dupont Circle and North Capital Drive to beautify the city...Oh no! I don't mean that kind of Flowers!"

Thank you N.Y Post for your "endorsement". It put us all in the Carnival Spirit and lightens the approach of Super-Tuesday and Lent. We'll be laughing all the way to the polls. And oh, Mr. Murdoch, enjoy youself it's later than you think!

Best fish wrap in New York, without question. I wouldn't want Clinton and this rag connected in any way whatsoever. It's become more of a British tabloid than a legit newspaper, which explains their headlines from day to day.

The "endorsement" slams Obama as much as it slams Hillary. Merdy-Merde's non-American lieutenant wrote:
"Obama's all-things-to-all-people approach to complex domestic issues also arouses scant confidence. "Change!" for the sake of change does not a credible campaign platform make"
And

"For all his charisma and his eloquence, the rookie senator sorely lacks seasoning. And on national security, his worldview is beyond naive - blithely unware that America must defend itself against those sworn to destroy the nation."

I'd hardly call this an endorsement of Obama, as much as I would the latest chapter in "NY Post Beats Up Hillary."

Umm... yeah, and the sun rises in the East, and Hillary has Murdoch in her pocket, and, uh... c'mon, help me, knuckle-draggers. You have all this stuff memorized.

And, BTW, the only reason we'd have "more of the same" with an H.C. presidency would be a failure to bitch-slap and kick to the curb the right wing slugs who pursued B.C. continuously with their 24/7 panty raid... while Osama was plotting in his cave.

Put up screens or the flies will always return.

What does the Hufff post expect to gain from the article. Who cares about the NYP..We know you already support Obama. That's ok with me. This is America. However, can't quite see the new York Post Connection..Do you need some news.. HILLARY IN 08

Oh, okay. Thanks for telling me how to vote, Rupert Murdoch. I just needed to read that.

The NYP better watch it or Hillary will send Bill there and give them the "what for". She controls Bill like a wind-up doll, I'll have you know.

This way the NY Post gets to slam the Clintons every chance they get under the guise of supporting Obama, who they think will lose the nomination anyways. They will also take some subtle pot-shots at Obama to like they did in their "endorsement". I love it, the NY Post is trying to kill two birds with one stone. Interesting.


By the way, How has Hillary been "tried"?

The Murdoch press is only temporarily supporting Obama until such time as they are ready to pump and dump in favour of the fascist Bloomberg candidacy.

THIS MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS.
