I completely agree with their take. Not very happy with Obama, but Romney is one of the weakest republican candidates I've seen during my voting life.
Personally, I care more about their endorsement than that of Newsweek, SI and Highlights for Children.
I would put more weight in the Economist's opinion than almost all US periodicals. Try reading it sometime.
I love the Economist and have been a subscriber for two decades, but I have disagreed with their view of Obama for the past five years. They really have a blind spot for his rhetoric, which matches his actions less than they claim Mitt Romney's does.
I've thought its gotten too partisan and less informative in recent years personally. Maybe I should pick up an issue again, just been less interested in their takes as of late. I've liked business week after they've rebranded it.
The Economist endorses Obama and now the right wingers on here question its legitimacy as far as being non-partisan. Par for the course... I guess its time to go back to the Fox News spoonfed Obama is a shitty president crap that energizes your base. ps. Michelle Malkin would be a great hate fuck
I used to read that magazine pretty religiously back in the day. The articles got less interesting for me as I have gotten more apathetic in the politics of the world. its a great way to keep up on world affairs but I generally have disagreed with many of their opinion pieces since I've started reading it.
