As we reported previously, the Boston Globe endorsed John McCain for the Republicans and Barack Obama for the Democrats recently. Michael Graham looks at the Obama choice at The Natural Truth:
First, let's get this obvious truth out of the way: Barack FREAKIN' Obama? Are you out of your tiny little liberal minds?What has Barack Obama ever done that shows he's ready to run a car dealership or Subway franchise--much less serve as president?
He's never been an executive of, well, anything. He's never created a job, he's never run a business, he's never won a significant courtroom victory or achieved a single private-sector accomplishment of note.
As a political leader, his record is nonexistent. His federal political experience began in 2005--more than three years AFTER 9/11. When Osama bin Laden was plotting his attack, Barack Obama was fighting over pothole filling in his home district in Illinois.
Barack Obama is also the proud member of a fringe religious group that advocates "blackness" and urges a rejection of middle-class values because they're too white.
Here's a hint to the supergeniuses at the Globe-Democrat: Anytime you're endorsing a man to become the next Leader of the Free World and you have to list his time as an elementary school student in Indonesia as part of his foreign policy resume--you need to put down the bong and think again.

In spite of the points made above above, does it really matter. Who reads the newspapers anymore? The print media just doesn't carry the weight it used to. And this is one of the reasons why.

Obama has "never been an executive of, well, anything. He's never created a job, he's never run a business, he's never won a significant courtroom victory or achieved a single private-sector accomplishment of note..."
Guess what? Neither has Hillary. She has done nothing but run for president since 1992, and, like most of the candidates from both parties, is stunningly unqualified for the job.
