“Obama
took office in January 2009 as the nation’s economy was imploding.
That year alone, 4.7 million U.S. jobs were lost and the unemployment
rate ballooned past 10 percent. The president can’t be blamed for
that. In fact, he and his administration took bold action to prevent
further disaster. “-Enquirer
Editorial Board
First
they compliment the President, then they slap him down by handing
their endorsement to Mittens. You can read the whole thing here.
The
Enquirer's main problem with Obama, it seems is that he didn't solve
ALL PROBLEMS IN HIS FIRST FOUR YEARS. That's it. Didn't work fast
enough, apparently implying he was too busy shuckin and jivin to get
the job done. If you've paid attention to GOP talking points for the
past couple of years, then there is no need to read the editorial.
The
editorial goes on to say that the country is in danger of sliding
back into a recession and therefore needs Mitt Romney to steer it the
rest of the way, back to prosperity. In other words, Mitt will take
back the country and all will once again be “white” with the
world.
I
stopped reading the Enquirer a long time ago primarily because the
people who run this sorry excuse of a newspaper write as if they
never look out of their windows and see the architecturally
beautiful city surrounding them. Cincinnati is in the midst of a
construction boom...houses and businesses are jumping. There is a
Casino going up. The Banks have taken off. There are Black and Latino
restaurants opening up downtown. Amazing. But this stuff would never
happen if someone other than Barack Obama was in the White House. It
would not have happened with a president Romney based on his proposed
policies and spending cuts.
And
yet, this GOP controlled paper says Mitt is the answer? Please! And
please, let's not discuss the re enslavement of women as proposed by
the Republican party. This from a paper where two out three on the
editorial board were female at birth.
And
no mention of how Mittens would handle the wars, or take care of our
returning Vets. Guess The Enquirer doesn't give a damn about them
either.
The
vacuum that these folks write and exist in is overwhelmingly white,
suburban and republican, minorities need not apply, ever. If you
read the Cincinnati Enquirer on any given day, you would have no clue
that anyone other than conservative catholic white people live here,
ever.
Been
that way all six decades of my entire life and I keep wondering why
I still get mad about it.
The
definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and over,
expecting different results.
Time
I followed my own advice.
Vote
responsibly between now and November 6th.
