There are several observations that one can make. Newspapers realize their readers have generally lost trust in the newspaper. This could be an effort to show that they are trying to be true to the local readers. Second, the economy actually has become the one true issue that everyone is focused on. And third, they may have realized that the Obama team has just plain lost all of its steam and has little to offer in a second opportunity.

Obama did one good thing: He cured a lot of people of white guilt.

Florida Today, the local paper here in Brevard Co. FL (pop. 500,000), has also endorsed Romney. I’ve lived here 32 years and I don’t remember them ever endorsing a Republican before, though they may have endorsed Reagan’s second term.

This area is strong Romney anyway but it’s so out of character for Florida Today. Maybe they just realized they’d lose another big batch of subscribers to do such a bone-headed thing as to endorse Obama after his dismal job performance.

“You’ll feel better when you give it,” Obama told them, after touting what he said were four years of accomplishments, along with promises of strong economic growth should he get four more years.

Did he really say this?? Why does reading this make me feel skeevy and creeped out?

Ugh. Obama has lost it.

Doesn’t this sound like the local lounge lizard desperately trying to score at closing time?

"You'll feel better when you give it," Obama told them, after touting what he said were four years of accomplishments, along with promises of strong economic growth should he get four more years.

Yuck. No wonder the Register threw its drink in his face and walked out with Romney…

“You’ll feel better”

Typical liberal mentality. Do what makes YOU “feel better”. Not what needs to be done.

Better than what?

Better than the 54% of the people that are going to vote against me.
Better than the war mongering, racist Republicans
Better than the corrupt capitalists.

President Obama spent roughly half an hour last Tuesday on the phone with the Des Moines Register's publisher and editor, desperately trying to win the influential Iowa newspaper's endorsement for a second term.

"You'll feel better when you give it," Obama told them, after touting what he said were four years of accomplishments, along with promises of strong economic growth should he get four more years.

Desperate much? Yeeeesh. I think I need to shower after reading that. This guy is creepy.

Of course, most of obama’s supporters can’t read so the newspaper endorsements mean nothing. They only get their info from TV and most everyone there has sold their souls to the devil.
