Obama is the better choice (financial times, BARF alert)

US presidential elections involve a fabulous expense of time, effort and money. Doubtless it is all too much – but, by the end, nobody can complain that the candidates have been too little scrutinised. We have learnt a lot about Barack Obama and John McCain during this campaign. In our view, it is enough to be confident that Mr Obama is the right choice.

...

Mr Obama is most disappointing on trade. He pandered to protectionists during the primaries, and has not rowed back. He may be sincere, which is troubling. Should he win the election, a Democratic Congress will expect him to keep those trade-thumping promises. Mr McCain has been bravely and consistently pro-trade, much to his credit.

This is a British fish-and-chips wrap.

Keep your bloody nose out of our business, chaps.

We seem to have fought wars for Eurosocialism, which is determined to destroy our constitutional form of government.

I think they have figured out that is was so easy to "EXTRACT" (blackmail) the congress with that Bailout fraud. That was simple, on to the next project, and for that they need total control. Dems in congress, Dem in the White House (or whatever color it will be).

Why worry about the little people at this point, they learned a very good lesson from Paulson, BFRANK,Pelosi, Dodd, and the most glorious of all their highest potantate Hussein Obama.

Fool em once, fool em twice.........

Obama is terrible for trade but the right man for the White House? I must be missing something here.

I don't think so. The Financial Times has been squishy-Left for as long as I can remember.

Any reputable financial rag that recommends an a socialist deserves to drown in an ocean of red ink. This endorsement should invalidate anything the FT ever prints again.
