Hyperbole is the currency of presidential campaigns, but this year the nation’s future truly hangs in the balance.
The United States is battered and drifting after eight years of President Bush’s failed leadership. He is saddling his successor with two wars, a scarred global image and a government systematically stripped of its ability to protect and help its citizens — whether they are fleeing a hurricane’s floodwaters, searching for affordable health care or struggling to hold on to their homes, jobs, savings and pensions in the midst of a financial crisis that was foretold and preventable.
As tough as the times are, the selection of a new president is easy. After nearly two years of a grueling and ugly campaign, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois has proved that he is the right choice to be the 44th president of the United States.

Wow! Who saw this coming?!
The nyslimes whistling past the graveyard
He handled a grueling 2 year campaign- therefore he can handle being President!
he he he
Shocked. Stunned, I tell you.
ROT IN HELL NEW YORK TIMES.
More of the same as the ship takes on water...
Geeez. With all the time and money the NYT sunk in to their new messiah, could we have expected anything else?
Well-written, though it elevates Obama to something that he’s not. Otherwise, this goes to show that McCain, in trying to please everyone, has ended up pleasing no one.
Just another proof that McCain should be our next President. Get out to your local GOP headquarters and volunteer, people.
<------- Obama and the NYT!
NYT = Titanic
Rhetorical flourish.
For starters, the Taliban and Al Queda “saddled” us with the war in Afghanistan, not President Bush, and President Bush then “saddled” the enemy with an ass wooping.
I think the media has caused most Americans to forget that we liberated Afghanistan long ago despite all the media and democrat dire predictions, and that what goes on there now is Taliban trying and failing to get back in.

NEW YORK, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Standard & Poor’s on Thursday slashed its ratings on the New York Times Co (NYT.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) into junk territory and cited concerns about the newspaper publisher’s revenue outlook, after it posted a third-quarter loss. ...
It cut the Times’ rating three notches to “BB-minus,” three levels below investment grade, from “BBB-minus.” The outlook is negative, indicating an additional cut may be likely over the next one-to-two years.
I’m probably not as rabidly anti-NYT as most around here, but that last picture is is pretty damn funny.
Junk endorsement for a junk candidate by a junk newspaper, today downgraded to junk.
Brought to you by the NY Times, the media that continues to lose money year over year.
Drifting in absolute safety and security.
Much to the annoyance of the left who would see most of us bombed to oblivion.
Mr. McCain talks about reform a lot, but his vision is pinched.
... as in "Pinch" Sulzberger (and his dying NY Slimes empire)?
I endorse the NYT for bankruptcy!
Still waiting for this story...... “The NY Times is battered and drifting after eight years of failed leadership”.....
Actually, for the treasonous wretch Pinch Sulzberger it’s been a lot more than 8 yrs. and he’s still there ruining the place..... too bad for them they can’t have term limits for their publisher!!
If Obama and I competed for any position I have ever held, Obama would lose, notwithstanding affirmative action or any kind of wistful thinking. Now I am supposed to vote for what should always be an also ran for president? Get real. Obama would make a great Maitre de in a New York waffle house with a very peculiar clientele, but a president? C’mon.
That is excellent news, on so many levels. It's first of all the truth. The NYTimes is junk and a risky investment for any bond holder. It also means the cost of borrowing money by the NYTimes goes way up, which should help push them off the cliff and into the financial abyss. I'm looking forward to seeing them trade on the pink sheets.
I just received a letter from NYT, asking me to subscribe. I’m going to tear it up, put it into the prepaid envelope, tuck in a note and mail it back.
That’s it. Time to pull up our stakes. This one says it all.
