An endorsement

The New Yorker wrote an excellent endorsement of Obama. Reading it gave me an even greater sense of the extreme importance of this election.

It's a pretty long article, and Mathilde has complained that I link to articles without giving an abridged version. So here it is:

At a moment of economic calamity, international perplexity, political failure, and battered morale, America needs both uplift and realism, both change and steadiness. It needs a leader temperamentally, intellectually, and emotionally attuned to the complexities of our troubled globe. That leader’s name is Barack Obama.
