'The Economist' Endorses Obama For President

[garebear]

London-based magazine, The Economist, endorsed President Barack Obama on Thursday.  It is the second time the world’s leading economics-focused magazine has endorsed Obama, this time by a narrow margin over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

The Economist’s choice turned to two questions: how good of a president has Obama been, especially on the main issues of the economy and foreign policy? And can America really trust Mitt Romney to do a better job?

The magazine said in a press release today that while Obama’s shortcomings are many, Republican challenger Romney has changed his position too often on policy matters.

I've read the reasons they chose Obama over Romney....

It sounded a hell of a lot like damning with faint praise. I think they referred to Obama as the "devil we know" or something similar.

Which makes sense because neither of these two gentlemen are very good candidates.

Yes, that's true.
