The Santa Fe New Mexican Endorses President Obama

[WI_DEM]

President Barack Obama has earned four more years.

He inherited an unholy mess — an economy teetering on the edge of a second Great Depression and two foreign wars top the list of disasters. Slowly, steadily and with his eye fixed firmly on the needs of the country, the president has worked hard every day to improve our collective good. It was President Obama who bailed out the auto industry, salvaging 1.1 million jobs and keeping manufacturing alive in this country. It was President Obama who made the gutsy call to invade a compound in Pakistan, tracking down and killing Osama bin Laden. It was President Obama who finally signed comprehensive health reform so that no American has to fear bankruptcy because of a medical catastrophe. More work remains for a second term.

Despite 31 months of consecutive job growth, too many Americans still need jobs. Despite ending the war in Iraq, the United States still must leave Afghanistan and repurpose our military strength. Despite passing the Affordable Care Act, we need a President Obama in office to ensure that citizens do not lose their dearly won access to health care. Despite progress on equal rights — passing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act ensuring equal pay for women, ending “don’t ask, don’t tell” in the military so that gay and lesbian troops can serve openly and announcing his support for equal marriage — more progress is needed.

And it is that word — progress — that we urge voters to keep in mind when casting their ballots. Voters are not simply choosing between two men — President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney — they are selecting two philosophies of governing and of life...

1. The Albuquerque Buttwipe Fishwrap endorsed McCain/Palin in 2008

and since it wears its far right editorial bias all over its newsprint sleeve, will likely endorse Rmoney this year.

It might be a bit late. Early voting has started.

2. Santa Fe most liberal city in the US

Ok, smaller city that is. I do live here and I have only seen one Romney sticker this whole year. He's the name no one dare to speak around here.

5. Thanks for posting all these endorsements.

It really lifts my spirits to see all these papers telling people to vote Democratic. This is only a close race because of all the cheaters.
