The Washington Post has decided to back President Obama for reelection — acknowledging the shortcomings of his first term:

President Barack Obama is better positioned to be that navigator than is his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

I’m thinking it might be worth keeping notes of some of the comments supporters of His O’liness have made on articles such as this on WaPo.

Would be awfully fun to quote them a few months from now, regardless of which way the election goes.

Okay, but what do the major papers, like the Bugtussle Bugle, Thrifty Nickel, Frisco Free Press, Penny Pincher, Mojave Monitor or the Boll Weevil Bi-Weekly have to say?

I like to think this Washington comPost endorsement is sort of like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
