The NY Times officially endorsed Obama today, quoting that "Mr. Obama has those qualities in abundance. Watching him being tested in the campaign has long since erased the reservations that led us to endorse Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries. He has drawn in legions of new voters with powerful messages of hope and possibility and calls for shared sacrifice and social responsibility." One other interesting thing that the article points out is that event though Jon McCain was a POW (prisoner of war) for almost 5 years he helped the, " White House push through the appalling Military Commissions Act of 2006, which denied detainees the right to a hearing in a real court and put Washington in conflict with the Geneva Conventions, greatly increasing the risk to American troops." It's insane that Mr. McCain could be such a "wishy-washy" hypocrite in regards to a subject that he should be so adamant about protecting.
