Shock: New York Daily News Endorses Romney After Picking Obama 4 Years Ago

Nov. 4, 2012 11:08am Madeleine Morgenstern

Shock: New York Daily News Endorses Romney After Picking Obama 4 Years Ago The New York Daily News endorsed Mitt Romney on Saturday, a major switch for the metropolitan paper that backed President Barack Obama four years ago:

Four years ago, the Daily News endorsed Obama, seeing a historic figure whose intelligence, political skills and empathy with common folk positioned him to build on the small practical experience he would bring to the world’s toughest job. We valued Obama’s pledge to govern with bold pragmatism and bipartisanship.

The hopes of those days went unfulfilled.

[...]The trend over the Obama years: Goodbye to middle- and high-income jobs in New York City; hello to positions that pay less than $45,000 a year.

Recovery from the disaster that Obama inherited was going to take time. But four years is a long, long slog. Had the President guided a typical upswing, America would by now have regained essentially all its lost jobs. At his present pace, Obama would reach that milestone in the third year of a second term.

The regrettable truth is that Obama built a record of miscalculations and missed opportunities.

[...]

Romney’s approach is the stronger.

Critically, he has tailored his policies to create jobs, jobs, jobs.

[...]

No, Romney’s not perfect. His overall immigration policy falls below comprehensive reform, and he’s no friend of gun control. But, under these circumstances, growing the economy takes precedence.

Offering a rosy vision of a country already on the rise, Obama argues that he would lead a resurgence by staying the course. He posits that spending in areas such as education and clean energy would be beneficial, and he sees raising taxes on high-income earners as key to “balanced” deficit reduction. Each on its own is attractive, but the whole comes up short.

The presidential imperative of the times is to energize the economy and get deficits under control to empower the working and middle classes to again enjoy the fruits of an ascendant America.

So The News is compelled to stand with Romney.

The Daily News is one of the largest newspapers in the country, and the third-largest in New York behind the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Is that old fish-wrapper still around? I thought the Comrades over on W. 23rd Street had shut it down. Another bunch of rats jumping ship….We should have seen this one coming when Comrade Soros approved the Romney-Ryan ticket….Long Live the Communist International !!!

  I’v noticed that a bunch of papers and magazines have finally woke up. Four more years of Obama will destroy our currency and when we go to a barter system the folks won’t be swapping food or ammo for a paper or a magazine. Under a real socialist system everyone works for the state and what they do print comes from some little state twerp that hands a paper to them and then orders them to print it. Even Woppie will finally see the light when the state tells her what to say and when to say it. Of course the state will keep the name “The View.”

This isn’t a shocker. More and more radicals are gonna say their for Romney. Many businesses, trying to drum up support, and try to pull the wool over our eyes, will try and pull every stunt they can to make us forget who they really are.
We can’t allow ourselves to be bought with their lies and double talk. If they want to ‘invest’ in Romney, so be it, but right now Progressives, on BOTH sides, are gonna play this game. Another reason for term limits in our political and judicial positions.
Once Romney does win, watch the radical go into hibernation status, in who they really are. We can’t go to sleep, as a Constitutional Republic, after the election. It will be time for accountability and restitution to take place.

As a New Yorker–until just recently I lived on Long Island and worked in NYC–this is shocking. The Daily News is very liberal democrat – just as much as the NY Times but in a more tabloid/working-class way. For them to endorse Romney is amazing. (The NY Post is the Republican/Conservative rag in NYC.)

  You Right wingers are REALLY insane.
  For a city with so many needy, of too many diverse groups to mention,
  to support Romney is the QUINTESSENTIAL definition of
  VOTING AGAINST YOUR OWN BEST INTERESTS.
  Let the silly name calling begin.

  Even New Yorkers who rely on the Government for their own best interest are going to have to come to grips with the reality that if the government is poor because of its leaders, all of its promises will be broken and the poor will be the first to know. The Government can’t handout what it hasn’t got.

The judgement of President Barack Hussien Obama will unfold by ‘the rule of law’ as soon as we can ship him off to his new mansion in Hawiis’ new communist district. House arrest for the ‘alleged traitor Obama’ will be as strong as a coward like Senate leader Mitch McConell will beg fore as the truth is known. The voting age needs to be increased to 21 years with military exclusion of 18 year old so the foggy eyed pissy pants college morons cannot elect an anti American Global Colonist again. Our agenda is clear and the list is growing.

Sunday, Monday, Election Day. Boom, Get out that vote and be heard. But take a moment and help me spread the word about “Take A Hero To Vote.” It’s a simple thing we can all do in the voting booth; say thank you to a fallen soldier, veteran, or someone who is currently serving. Say a silent prayer to someone who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us, this country, and our freedoms. Click Here to Find Out More.

But of course, many news-papers are attempting reverse psychology in order to sponge off people’s motivation to make sure they don’t show up to vote, because “Hey, we got the news-papers now.” Does it make sense that they would support Romney when Romney publicly said he would cut-off funding to PBS? Which means he probably won’t bailout news-papers either.

Well it’s a little too late. Why didn’t they come out earlier for Romney? Did the fact that Obama’s plans and actions for/against America escape them until Saturday? Haven’t they been paying attention for the last four years? Why didn’t they endorse Romney weeks ago?

This is CYA at it’s finest. They think Obama is going to lose and want to be on the winning side.

  In layman’s terms this is commonly called a MUTINY:
  
  500 Admirals, Generals to Endorse Romney
  http://freebeacon.com/post/34912944618/500-admirals-generals-to-endorse-romney
  The spokesman added that 389 of the individuals on the list are on the Romney Military Advisory Council, too.
  
  Barack Obama can not defeat Mitt Reagan
  http://www.votemittreagan.com/
  It really is like 1980 all over again. The skewed media polls in October of 1980 made it look like Jimmy Carter was running strong against Ronald Reagan who was about to crush Carter in a landslide. But this year is different. Barack Obama is by far the worst president in the history of the country. Obama is the only president in our life times who has actually thwarted, via his economically ignorant policies, what could have been a robust recovery.
  
  We also have a president who is entirely clueless, totally out of touch and is so ideologically bigoted that he couldn’t care less what affects his failed far left policies have on families and small businesses. This president has absolutely no sympathy or empathy for the victims of the economic destruction he has caused. In that he borders on showing symptoms of being a sociopath.
  
  Pay VERY CLOSE ATTENTION to that last sentence.

  BAG Yes Barry is a sociopath because he’s been catered to his entire life and told he can do no wrong.
  It warms this vets heart to see so many admirals and generals coming out against the Marxist heathen,they’re Americans and have a natural aversion to communists,they know evil when they see it.
  Indeed the Marxist mulatto fraud POS heathen will be defeated and by a hefty margin. Long live the republic! Barry can return to hell his real birthplace.

  Bodybag, you’re being too charitable. Obama appears to be a malignant narcisscist, and so by definition he has no empathy. It’s not just that he doesn’t care, it’s that caring is completely beyond his comprehension.
