My local paper - The News-Times, Danbury CT endorses Obama

Nice article -

"America has been traveling down the wrong path for most of the past eight years, and the problems and challenges are widespread and overwhelming.

The United States is at war, the country is in the midst of the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression, there are a host of serious domestic problems, America's image abroad is at an all-time low and the country's self-confidence has been shaken.

The new president must have the vision, the courage and the leadership skills necessary to head the country in a new direction. He must have the temperament to bring about conciliation, the judgment to make wise decisions and the ability to build consensus in a deeply divided America.

Barack Obama clearly possesses these qualities and skills. We believe he is the right man for this time of great challenge and peril, and we strongly endorse him for president of the United States."
