Naples (FL) Daily News Endorses Obama: Obama offers Americans what country needs now

[SunsetDreams]

There are different ways to look at the choice for president of the United States.

We can look at the record of Republican John McCain and see there is a long story of duty — from Vietnam through Congress.

We can look at the shorter story of Democrat Barack Obama and see youth’s great potential alongside questions of his early influences and concerns about his approach to spending.

We see the historical contexts, including race and this being the most trying of times — so trying that they may shape the presidency rather than vice versa. We size up the outgoing presidential administration and find both candidates running against it.

In McCain and Obama we have candidates who say they are ready to make a change.

Obama, we believe, is the right candidate for true change, a clean break from the current administration. To be sure, most change has to go through Congress, but the tone is set at the White House.
