SHOCKER!!!!! New York Times Endorses Obama!

I know this comes a real surprise, but the NY Times is endorsing another Democrat for Prez! WOW!!! This is really gonna shake up the Northeast. What a mind blowing announcement!

Honestly, I don't know why these newspapers do such. Doesn't it kind of reinforce the idea that these nedia outlets are not objective? I know they try to differentiate the editorial board from the journalists, but when they run a FRONT PAGE piece on Palin's wardrobe, it kind of is embarrassing for them that they try to appear viable.

Re: SHOCKER!!!!! New York Times Endorses Obama!

Here was the big surprise for me today:
Scott McClellan, President Bush's former press secretary, says he is backing Barack Obama for president....The former Bush administration official said he wanted to support the candidate that has the best chance for changing the way Washington works and getting things done.


okay not so surprising after the book.

The New York Communist Times? Are you really shocked or making a joke? That doesn't surprise anyone that I know. That's like Ebony endorsing the Obamas. lol

No, not one bit surprising. He's mad that he was replaced as Press Secretary. His mother even said he'd get Bush back. His mother is a loud-mouth and everyone in Texas knows it.

Yeah, that was a pretty predictable party switch to say the least. Are they from Texas?

That is about as surprising as if MSNBC endorsed Obama.
