Courier-Journal Endorses Obama
Shawn Dixon May 4th, 2008
The Courier-Journal endorsed Obama for President today, just a few days before folks across the river in Indiana will go to the polls and about two weeks before we Kentuckians vote.
Here’s a little piece of the endorsement.
….we also believe that Sen. Obama is the Democratic candidate better equipped to restore Americans’ hope for the future and to bring change to Washington.
For that reason, we endorse Sen. Obama in Tuesday’s Indiana primary and in the May 20 contest in Kentucky.
Sen. Obama’s relentless focus on change, and the hordes of new voters he draws to the polls, would make it hard for his victory to be read as anything other than a mandate for changing how Washington works.

Racist tripe isn’t welcome here, Publius.
“a mandate for changing how Washington works”
That seems to be one thing that the majority of us agree on. (except for McSAME who wants four more years of Bush)
Bomb Bomb Iran McCain says he don’t know much about the economy, but he wants to keep doing what Bush is doing (more tax cuts for the rich).
Bad News John W.:
WORRIED ABOUT THE ECONOMY
The economy was on voters’ minds in Democratic primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. Two-thirds of Democratic primary voters in Indiana and nearly as many in North Carolina said the economy is the most important issue facing the nation. That’s more than have said so in 28 previous competitive Democratic primaries with exit polls this year.
Of course the economy is better then it was in 1996 when Bill Clinton pronounced it the best economy America ever had, but hey, why let facts stand in the way of the Dem’s best scare tactic.
Comparing Labor Market Data in 1996 and 2008
Democrats on the Economy in 1996:
“Our economy is the healthiest it has been in three decades.” (President Bill Clinton, State of the Union Address, January 23, 1996)
Democrats on the Economy in 2008:
“The bottom line is that this administration is the owner of the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover.” (Senator Charles Schumer, Press Release, March 7, 2008)
