'The Economist' Endorses Obama For President
« on: November 01, 2012, 03:59:21 PM »
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.

the economist is a massively keynesian socialist rag that tries to put on airs of superiority

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.
