The fact that Barack Obama won endorsements from most daily newspapers
comes as no surprise to American readers, as they mostly go with
Democrats regardless of the specific candidates. Some of us got
surprised when publications like The Economist chose to back Obama,
however, considering their normally sober analysis of economics and the
radicalism and inexperience Obama brought to the campaign. Now, The
Economist has had a Road to Damascus moment just two months after their candidate took office (via QandO)
If Obama is not who The Economist thought he was, then the fault lies
with The Economist and not Obama. The scales may be falling from their
eyes now, but if they had done their jobs a few months ago, it wouldn’t
be necessary at all.
