aw fuck man. I was literally just gonna post this.

Not exactly a glowing endorsement, but pretty close to my opinion.


Mr Romney has an economic plan that works only if you don’t believe most of what he says. That is not a convincing pitch for a chief executive.


for all his shortcomings, Mr Obama has dragged America’s economy back from the brink of disaster, and has made a decent fist of foreign policy.

About right. Romney gave us a plan far before Obama did, but it was pure fantasy, pablum for the converted, and disappointed. Obama's way too late plan isn't all that much better, but mildly more realistic.

Meh. Already cast my vote anyway.

So when Chavez and terrorists endorse BHO it's nothing. However when a London-based newspaper does it, it's news? Cool story

Endorsements are another worthless way for people to cop out from the laborious act of thinking about whom to vote for. :sleep

False equivelance. The majority of leaders outside of the us have suggested BO would be a better president. Cherry picking the communists is intellectually dishonest. The reality is, the world would prefer BO than Romney. The economist, generally a pro-market publication which has generally been consisted a conservative newspaper endorsing BO again is somewhat significant.

Maybe Parker, who was big on the Rothschild enfluence on the election (who btw own a majority stake in the economist) would like to comment on their second endorsement of the Obama.

It's hardly a glowing endorsement but Team Red would have to read it to find that out for themselves.

The Economist is fairly liberal in its political leanings, tbh. They're conservative in a European sense, but not what we would consider conservative back here. They are free-market though.
