The Eagle - Bryan College Station endorses Obama
I'm not reading any more news starting now.
Good grief, I'm sick!
Quote:
In the past 50 years, The Eagle has never recommended a Democrat for president. We made no recommendations in 1960 and 1964 -- when Texas' own Lyndon B. Johnson was on the Democratic ticket -- nor did we in 1968 -- although we did praise Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey's position on the Vietnam War. We did not in 1976 and 1980. In 1972, The Eagle recommend Richard Nixon, in 1984, Ronald Reagan. We recommended George H.W. Bush in 1988 and 1992 and his son in 2000. We recommended Bob Dole in 1996.
Four years ago, the Editorial Board couldn't recommend George W. Bush for a second term, but we also couldn't recommend Sen. John Kerry either, so we made no choice.
This year is different, in large part because of the very difficult challenges facing this nation after eight years of a failed Bush administration. We are faced with a choice between Sen. John McCain, who claims to be an agent of change but promotes the policies of the past, and Sen. Barack Obama, who also wears the change mantle, but offers a vision for the future, even if he has yet to fully explain how he would carry out that vision if elected president in little more than two weeks.

Even "IF" we don't know where Obama is taking us, we are going to vote for him.
Lord, that reminds me of the Aggie that drowned in the back of a pickup truck, during a flood, because he couldn't get the tailgate down in order to get out of the truck!!!!

You are so right. Just got off the phone with my mother. She understands!
Anyway, girl, I'm taking a break from the computer! I'm too furious to be reasonable at this point.
Take care!
