Salt Lake Tribune Endorses Obama


The Salt Lake Tribune endorses President Obama over Mitt Romney, the candidate "we knew, or thought we knew, as one of us."

"Sadly, it is not the only Romney, as his campaign for the White House has made abundantly clear, first in his servile courtship of the tea party in order to win the nomination, and now as the party's shape-shifting nominee. From his embrace of the party's radical right wing, to subsequent portrayals of himself as a moderate champion of the middle class, Romney has raised the most frequently asked question of the campaign: 'Who is this guy, really, and what in the world does he truly believe?'"

4. I believe also endorsed Obama in '08, but still given Romney's ties to Utah

very impressive.

9. You're right. They did endorse Obama in 2008. Still, a surprise.

6. So...let's tally up....

He doesn't have Michigan, the state where he was born and raised. He doesn't have Massachusetts where he lived and was governor. He doesn't have California where he has a home. Now he doesn't have Salt Lake where he saved their precious olympics using tax payer money.

He does have all the southern red states....states that I'm sure he wouldn't even drive through much less live.

Mitt must be going crazy...I hope Ann can stabilize him before he beats the crap out one of the boys.

8. He won't take it out on the boys. He'll take it out on Ann. She strikes me as

a woman who is used to taking verbal--and probably sexual--abuse.

7. Its an embarrassment because it's Utah, the birthplace of Mitt's religion.

10. Holy crap. That's pretty embarassing for the whole Romney family.
