Good part:
There is no getting around the fact that Mr Obama’s résumé is thin for the world’s biggest job. But the exceptionally assured way in which he has run his campaign is a considerable comfort. It is not just that he has more than held his own against Mr McCain in the debates. A man who started with no money and few supporters has out-thought, out-organised and outfought the two mightiest machines in American politics—the Clintons and the conservative right.

SHOW COUNT: (164) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=108, US=118, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    But then again, what do the people at The Economist know about money, right? :D Bunch of smarty-pants elitists. ;)

    The Economist is a ROTHSCHILD magazine.

    Big fucking deal.

    So the richest people in the world support Obama?

    CHANGE I CAN BELIEVE IN!

    I actually haven't thought about it that way before. A guy who had absolutely no reputation (save for the 2004 keynote speech, which was all his effort) somehow managed to beat out the Clintons and one of the most well-known Republican senators who happens to be an honorable war hero.

    Hm. Interesting. :)

    You guys are on crack.

    The Rothschilds essentially own this planet.
    And they have held fundraisers for John McCain as well.

    Its not a question of whether rich OR poor or rich AND poor people support Obama.

    You yahoos are running around saying, "lookie, this magazine endorses Obama", like it is some great glowing praise, because the magazine is called "The Economist".

    Well that magazine is often used as a propagandist mouthpiece for the interests that control both sides of the American political system, and run most of the worlds affairs.

    So i don't take an "endorsement" from The Economist to mean shit, except to say, "Yep, the establishment approves of the candidate they already approved of."

    Why do you people insist on being evasive around the very issue that is central to Obama's campaign? CHANGE.

    Namely, he doesn't represent shit for it.
    The criminals that run this world own both candidates.
    Its time to stop telling yourself lies about all this fantasy "change" that the man on "the left" represents.

    I personally could not care less what magazine is supporting which ever candidate. If you didn't see the sarcasm in my post ... forgive me.
