The New Yorker Endorses Obama

"The choice is clear. The Romney-Ryan ticket represents a constricted and backward-looking vision of America: the privatization of the public good."

"The reëlection of Barack Obama is a matter of great urgency. Not only are we in broad agreement with his policy directions; we also see in him what is absent in Mitt Romney—a first-rate political temperament and a deep sense of fairness and integrity."

"A two-term Obama Administration will leave an enduringly positive imprint on political life. It will bolster the ideal of good governance and a social vision that tempers individualism with a concern for community. Every Presidential election involves a contest over the idea of America. Obama’s America—one that progresses, however falteringly, toward social justice, tolerance, and equality—represents the future that this country deserves."

I'm shocked, I say, shocked(!) that the New Yorker endorsed the Democratic candidate for elected office.

The choice is clear:

Which would you prefer to eat, shards of glass or razors? It's your choice, you get a choice. After you choose obviously you'll get what you deserve.

I guess maybe it's a little bit of a surprise that they didn't endorse Jill Stein.
