The Washington Post has decided to back President Obama for reelection acknowledging the shortcomings of his first term:
President Barack Obama is better positioned to be that navigator than is his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
We come to that judgment with eyes open to the disappointments of Mr. Obamas first term. He did not end, as he promised he would, our chronic avoidance of tough decisions on fiscal matters. But Mr. Obama is committed to the only approach that can succeed: a balance of entitlement reform and revenue increases.

Along that road lies a future in which interest payments crowd out everything else a government should do

I’m thinking it might be worth keeping notes of some of the comments supporters of His O’liness have made on articles such as this on WaPo.
Would be awfully fun to quote them a few months from now, regardless of which way the election goes.

Okay, but what do the major papers, like the Bugtussle Bugle, Thrifty Nickel, Frisco Free Press, Penny Pincher, Mojave Monitor or the Boll Weevil Bi-Weekly have to say?

That is about as surprising as Gen Powell endorsing Obama.

I like to think this Washington comPost endorsement is sort of like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
