Media Endorsements of Presidential Candidates

[Tino]

NY Times Endorses Obama

"President Obama has governed from a deep commitment to the role of government in fostering growth, forming sensible budget policies that are not dedicated to protecting the powerful, and saving the social safety net to protect the powerless."

Umm Who cares "Who endorses Whom" Surely americans are capable of making up their OWN minds with regard to policy and capability the said "endorsements" are irrelevant?

Or am I expecting too much??

[Darth]

Far too much, unfortunately.

[KichigaiNeko]

Oh I am so naive!! How DARE i think people will work with honesty!

[Tino]

The point of the endorsement is to read the rationale behind it, to gain the perspective of the endorser, and possibly see or learn something new.

Kichigai, are you an adult?

[KichigaiNeko]

Oh you wonderful person you Tino... !

Thank you for the complement!

[Tino]

Oh you wonderful person you Tino... !

Thank you for the complement!

I'd be happy to compliment you for real if you'd like, but I'd appreciate an answer to the question.

[KichigaiNeko]

Which question was that dear Tino?

[cratehorus]

Requires spending cuts of approximately $500 billion per year in 2016 assuming robust economic recovery with 4% annual growth, and reversal of irresponsible Obama-era defense cuts

the list you provided not doesn't equal $500 billion AND it assumes "savings" from things like "privatization" which has been proven not to work, what does the phrase "assuming robust economic recovery with 4% annual growth" even mean? What defense era spending cuts have there been???????????????? You might think we need an army large enough to defeat the alien invasion, but the military budget should be shrunk there's no reason for it be that large.

When did conservatives decide that a governments sole responsiblility should just be to, tax people to pay for wars in brown people's countries?
