- Tex, on 07/28/2008, -10/+256This is the L.A. Times' first presidential endorsement in almost forty years.
- thephoenix1, on 02/01/2008, -10/+161Beautifully put:
"In the language of metaphor, Clinton is an essay, solid and reasoned; Obama is a poem, lyric and filled with possibility. Clinton would be a valuable and competent executive, but Obama matches her in substance and adds something that the nation has been missing far too long -- a sense of aspiration." - FcukAllYall, on 02/01/2008, -28/+158Amazing....such a great choice! Come on Cali, UNITE for this man!
GOBAMA 08 - iamcjh, on 02/01/2008, -13/+130As a Canadian I may not be able to vote, but I can always DIGG, and I digg Barack Obama!
- inactive, on 02/01/2008, -3/+97The article with the second most diggs, ever, will probably be: Obama wins the democratic nominee!
The article with the most diggs?:
Obama is the United State's 44th president! - LLamaStar, on 02/01/2008, -2/+77"...Nowhere was that judgment more needed than in 2003, when Congress was called upon to accept or reject the disastrous Iraq invasion. Clinton faced a test and FAILED, joining the stampede as Congress voted to authorize war."
Thank you L.A. Times for saying what I have yet to see other news organizations say. She has already failed a major test of decision making. - drband36, on 02/01/2008, -2/+54STUNNING. And the widely-believed theory, until recently, was that the LA Times would endorse Clinton.
This might be his most important endorsement yet. - gmurray, on 02/01/2008, -3/+45get off my internet
- N3tw0rk, on 02/01/2008, -12/+54Obama can restore hope for all Americans, he truly is the right choice because he cares about everyday people. Nobody else running for president, besides Obama, has jumped off the career track for three or four years to help other people. Obama was a community organizer and led a voter-registration effort in Chicago that added tens of thousands of people to the rolls. He was a civil rights attorney and taught at one of the nation's premier universities. He helped pass complicated measures in the Illinois legislature on the death penalty, racial profiling, health care and more. In Washington, he has worked with Republicans on nuclear proliferation, government waste and global warming, amassing a record that speaks to a fast start while lacking the heft of years of service. After college, Obama moved to Chicago for a low-paying job as a community organizer. He worked with poor families on the South Side to get improvements in public housing, particularly the removal of asbestos. Obama also fought for student summer jobs and a program to keep at-risk children from dropping out of school. More importantly, say those who worked with Obama, he showed people how to organize and confront powerful interests. Obama was elected to the Illinois state Senate in 1996, when Democrats were in the minority. He proposed hundreds of new laws, including universal health care, tougher gun control and expanded welfare. He passed legislation sharply restricting the gifts that Illinois politicians could accept from lobbyists. Illinois has notoriously weak government ethics laws, and the Gift Ban Act was the first major new restriction since the Watergate era.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jfwiTMvbxKZec4z ... - inactive, on 02/01/2008, -8/+49I can't believe it, I'm actually, a little bit... proud of our nation for this one.
- RansomHoldiay, on 02/01/2008, -3/+42we don't need a manager, we need a leader.
- TyroPyro, on 02/01/2008, -2/+38Yes! Their last endorsement was in 1972. The article does not disappoint, this was really well written and is right on the mark with the reasons to go Obama.
- cecinestpasvrai, on 02/01/2008, -4/+38This is wrong on, well about all levels. The LA times is a respected paper, and has 37 pulitzer prizes. It also published an op-ed last year titled simply "Bomb Iran", seen here:
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-op-muravchi ...
The op-ed page does skew to the left, it's base is in L.A., otherwise, the LA. times is a solid endorsement to get in California. As for the communist part of the USA, I'm fairly certain they have their own candidate. - jlharrity, on 02/01/2008, -2/+33Based on your logic, it bodes well for Obama he is in fact a half white, half Kenyan Christian, then.
- Hetman, on 02/01/2008, -4/+34Damn the Neo con spammers are in full force today. I cannot go onto a thread about obama with out someone stating that "America will totally not vote for a black muslim" O well ignorants is bliss.
- missbarbie, on 02/01/2008, -6/+33This article was so masterfully written, and I could not be happier that they have endorsed him. Now, if only we could have a miracle and have the OC Register follow suit.
- thegoodreverend, on 02/01/2008, -5/+29First time the LA Times has endorsed anyone for President since Nixon in 1972 (which was forced by the publisher -- the writers penned a letter to the editor that same day saying they planned to vote for McGovern). Nixon subsequently had the publisher of the LA Times investigated by the INS (amid other agencies) after the paper's editorialists began turning on Nixon, calling for an exit from Vietnam, etc.
They've had 36 years -- more than enough time to think things through and start getting them right. - jerryparid, on 02/01/2008, -2/+24African American Christian born in Hawaii! Go back to school, stop lurking my intratubes.
- xXMetalJesusXx, on 02/01/2008, -0/+21Same here...
American politics affect us so much it's not even funny....I'd rather have Harper kissing Obama's ass than some Neo-Con - betterth, on 02/01/2008, -3/+24Stupid troll is stupid.
- inactive, on 02/01/2008, -1/+21First all black people don't have AIDS.
Second "S" in the acronym AIDS needs to be capitalized.
Buried for being a dumb racial schmuck. - betterth, on 02/01/2008, -3/+23http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in ...
Only the fourth largest newspaper in the United States. Nothing big or anything. - echolyean, on 02/01/2008, -1/+20He's NOT a Muslim. He's a Christian. And even if he was a Muslim I would still vote for him. Very, very few Muslims are terrorists. Grouping them all under the same umbrella is the most ridiculous idea and expresses nothing but hatred and ignorance. Ted Kaczynski is an old a white guy. So I guess you won't be voting for any of the Republicans, based on that logic.
Now that the government has read that I'd vote for a Muslim I guess it's time to go hide in my underground bunker. - rhabd0mancer, on 02/01/2008, -3/+21Of course, Obama is a christian, but I'm not going to hold that against him. He's a lot better than a crazy Mormon or a crazy 'Nam vet.
- hierophantus, on 02/01/2008, -1/+19EditorPaste, I hope one day you write a comment worth reading.
- jkbowman, on 02/01/2008, -9/+26Yes we can!
- KompressorV12, on 02/02/2008, -5/+22I don't care what your political affiliation is, this man is the most sincere presidential candidate I think our nation has ever had... If he wins presidency I think there will finally for once be new hope for America and our position in the world
I will pray daily - jwolcott, on 02/02/2008, -3/+20'Is Digg Obama.com?"
No, Digg is just for the best candidate because it's a community made up of mostly highly-intelligent and free-thinking individuals. - kenedamick, on 02/01/2008, -5/+21Say no to Hillary Lieber-woman and support Barack Obama.
- solarweasel, on 02/01/2008, -0/+15what were seeing is the jfk effect. younger generations (those more likely to be browsing a site like digg) trend toward the fresher of the candidates, who is more in touch with their generation. older voters stick with the candidate who has been on the political stage the longest... and with a namesake like clinton that is hillary.
this is truly a generational vote and it's up to young voters to nominate obama. after all, we are the ones who will be putting up with the consequences of the next 4 to 8 years of legislation longer than our older counterparts. - aliengoods, on 02/01/2008, -6/+20Every rich white woman knows that once you go black....
- kavustock, on 02/01/2008, -2/+16The democratic establishment has already selected their candidate, and that's Hillary Clinton. Too bad they didn't check with the actual voters first. The people want Obama. Beware the Superdelegate . . . the establishment's tool of last resort to make sure they can keep actual voters in line. Bill Clinton has been strong-arming them into the wrong line: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate
- MattnJax, on 02/01/2008, -9/+21And FauxNews giving an endorsement is equilent to getting an endorsement from the Gestapo you Republican scumbag.
- Thumper13, on 02/02/2008, -0/+12I'm not some squishy lib, and generally don't care what other countries think about the U.S., but this is one of the reasons I am voting for Barack Obama. It helps our economy and security if the rest of the world views us in a good light. Obama will help our stature in the world.
As a Republican, I find this important now after Bush has pissed off so many of our friends in the world. Our closest friends should like us even more.
Republicans for Obama! - pilot3033, on 02/01/2008, -0/+12rejecting anything you hear from a major entertainment (or I guess 'news') outlet flat out, is just stupid. Suggesting that an endorsement from an entity -no matter its size- alone is enough to convince you that foul play in involved, not only makes you ignorant, but it makes you a tool (the very thing you wish to avoid, as it may seem).
- bcclist, on 06/11/2008, -9/+21Sarcastically - has anyone not endorsed Obama? Obama 08! P.S. What happens if everyone endorses Obama and Hill somehow gets the nomination because she's "tricked" enough stupid americans - the hillary clinton demographic - into voting for her? I assume that's not a good thing for the dems.
- u2wedge, on 02/01/2008, -6/+17This just gets better and better.
- wheeloffish9, on 02/02/2008, -0/+10http://www.barackobama.com/issues/
- MrTito, on 02/02/2008, -0/+10If someone is in your *****, that's your problem.
- PaxImperium, on 02/01/2008, -5/+15Minarchian is not a Republican. He's a RINO who's a fanatic Ron Paul supporter. He's also insane.
- gerran, on 02/02/2008, -1/+10The last sentence in the article says it all:
"Clinton would be a valuable and competent executive, but Obama matches her in substance and adds something that the nation has been missing far too long -- a sense of aspiration." - inactive, on 02/01/2008, -2/+11Good thing Obama isn't one then.
- febryle, on 02/02/2008, -1/+10No. It's the OPINION section. It is an EDITORIAL. You, are a JACKHOLE.
- wreckosaurus, on 02/01/2008, -1/+10Jesus christ stop coming to digg. I wish I could block you but you get banned every other day and just come back with a new name.
- inactive, on 02/02/2008, -3/+12Nobody on Digg will know who the president is, because everyone will bury the story if Hillary wins.
- inactive, on 02/01/2008, -12/+21Envy is one of the seven deadly sins.
- hierophantus, on 02/01/2008, -0/+9don't say that, the retard conspiracy crew will hear you
- jerryparid, on 02/01/2008, -2/+10Obama has very strong support in the most educated group; he does better than Hillary in high income districts.
- green67, on 02/02/2008, -0/+8you're an ignorant man.....this is not a time for levity....to say such a terribly callous remark is mind numbing....you may think of your self as "clever".....but your true colors are represented in your comment.....I hope your children(if you're fortunate enough to have any) progresses beyond your need for self indulgence.....
- proseandpromise, on 02/01/2008, -2/+10We're the LA Times sponsors of the debate? That they came out of the debate and sponsored Obama speaks to how well he did.
