With great enthusiasm, the (Boston) Globe endorses Senator Barack Obama for president

Obama for president
October 14, 2008

COME JANUARY, a new president will take charge of a nation diminished, an America that is far shakier economically, less secure militarily, and less respected internationally than it was eight years before. The nation needs a chief executive who has the temperament and the nerves to shepherd Americans through what promises to be a grueling period - and who has the vision to restore this country to its place of leadership in the world.

Such a leader is at hand. With great enthusiasm, the Globe endorses Senator Barack Obama for president. The charismatic Democrat from Illinois has the ability to channel Americans' hopes and rally the public together, at a time when the winds are picking up and the clouds keep on darkening.

1. Wow! Already? That's excellent news. They've been one of the few actually

reporting the news these past few years. I'm so proud!

2. No surprise, but a great endorsement anyway.

3. The world would have to turn backwards on its axis before the Globe would endorse McCain

BUT..........the tone of the endorsement is still important, and this rings out in clear bell-like tones.
