| The crisis of leadership in American government is easily explained: thanks to a flawed presidential primary system that rewards strident rhetoric and hyper-partisanship, candidates tailor their messages to fringe elements in small, unrepresentative states. The result? A nasty, shallow and expensive process that rewards sound bites rather than solutions and gamesmanship instead of ideas. This year, however, we have witnessed a rare phenomenon in American politics. A candidate has emerged from the rough and tumble of the primaries with his dignity intact. The system has produced not a demagogue but a manager,

~~Mitt Romney stands out because—unlike so many candidates in the past—he understands how to build businesses, create efficiencies, make tough deals and carefully consider divergent viewpoints. America needs a strong leader, a practical leader.~~
Pretty well says it all!!

"True, Mr. Obama deserves credit for strong, decisive action that helped prevent a catastrophic economic meltdown on Wall Street. The financial services sector, the city’s most important industry, came very close to the unthinkable as once-unshakable entities—Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch—simply vanished. Mr. Obama’s policies helped to shore up the industry and, thus, the city." What??????

That's the New York Observer - should have been posted as that. Last I looked, they were a local lib paper, but I haven't looked in a while. If it's still a lib paper, then this is quite a surprise.

Interesting. It's kinda weird... the Dallas Morning News is totally liberal ... they follow the dem party line on everything. It's been particularly noticeable during the Libya attack and aftermath.
Yet a couple of weeks ago they endorsed Romney on their editorial page.
The endorsements are nice,but I'd prefer honest news reporting.

Yes, of course Obama was lying, but liberals were instantly relieved to recognize that Crowley had his back. A set-up to behold!
I think this is an important endorsement and almost an admission that some in the aiding and abetting Old Media are weary of covering up for the man who plans to erase America the Beautful and its freedom for all.

I too want to see Romney elected. And, would so rather 'fight' him on social issues than fight the devil's man. At least Romney is not against the things of God. He is not of my faith but his center is on love of God and country. We can work with a man like that. The opposite of good is all things Democrat. Praying for mercy of God for our country. We need Him.

Without the help of the msm covering for him and trying to destroy Romney, Obama wouldn't even be in this race. I pray every day that people open their eyes and vote this evil man out of office this Nov.

What really concerns me is what happens when Obamas enforcers do when they realize that simple BS isn't working anymore, and that they will lose in a fair election. This party has abused presidential edicts and administrative power. What will our spineless leaders do if O simply bulls his way through via DOJ lawsuits and presidential declarations and refuses to admit defeat? Who forcibly moves him, his family and his his personal guards? Just think about it. "I did not lose. I will not leave. My SS guard has orders to shoot to kill anyone who dares making me leave."

Bottom line: the New York Observer endorsed Obama four years ago, and now, they are covering their butts, trying to explain why they did so.
But, this is an important editorial, because the editors take pains to explain why now, the better candidate for growth out of the mire, is Romney.
For those Ldotters not used to wading through liberal marshes, put on your boots, and read the article.
Thank you editors of the New York Observer, for stating the Truth.
NOTE: This is an article you can send to your Liberal friends & family!

a bunch of their leftie writers must be gnashing their teeth. But Romney gets this endorsement because he is “not an ideologue”, and is “a moderate to the core”. Ouch. These are not attributes I want in Romney, but it’s OK because the newspaper and I interpret the same events differently. What the NYO sees as a good “manager” supporting Wall St. (NYO did not like Obama slamming Wall St.) I do see as ideology – support for capitalism, small government, etc.

If we get 8 years of Romney and 8 years of Ryan, do you think the culture of the country can change for the better and we can become more sensible and realistic? Can we overcome all the schools and colleges left wing brainwashing of our younger people? Will the media, culture and Hollywood change to at least partially center? Can we be America again? Will we defend ourselves from Islamofascism and socialism? Will we wake up? Can we toss the terrorists in our midst out of the country and stop mosques and Islamic centers being built in our cities. What do you think is the biggest danger to our survival?

Frank Lautenberg, the Democratic senator from New Jersey who died today at age 89, will be remembered by others for his career in government. To me the more fascinating story is his career in business. Because the company where Lautenberg spent the 30 years between 1952 and 1982 — longer than the time he spent in the Senate — is a classic example that manages to encapsulate both the genius and the risks of a certain kind of American business. It was the success of that company —

That brutally blatant daylight near-beheading of that British soldier in a London suburb by Islamic jihadists has prompted many to worry if such a tragedy will happen in this country. The news that the killer, Michael Adebolaj, 28, had been looked at by MI-5 into extremism ties for the past eight years and that he had preached on the same streets days before the murder, clearly shows that Rigby´s murder could have been prevented if the government wasn´t so beholden to political correctness. Thank goodness the NYPD is not, in spite of the PC pressure from liberals and Muslim organizations.

HIGHLANDS, NJ — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Monday that President Obama "has kept every promise he´s made" about helping the state recover from Hurricane Sandy. Speaking on MSNBC´s "Morning Joe" program on the 6-month anniversary of the deadly storm, the Republican governor said presidential politics were the last thing on his mind as he toured storm-devastated areas with Obama last fall. "The president has kept every promise he´s made," said Christie, widely considered a potential candidate for the republican presidential nomination in 2016. "I think he´s done a good job. He kept his word."

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:
