Newspaper Endorsements: The Eagle

The Eagle of Bryan-College Station, Texas has endorsed Mitt Romney for president:

Four years ago, when we recommended Barack Obama for president, we felt the choice was clear and we made it with a sense of hope and optimism. That hope and optimism has dimmed. To say that President Obama has been a disappointment is an understatement.

Four years later, the economy remains moribund, jobs are scarce and unemployment is high. Too many Americans have given up the hope of finding a job. The deficit has continued to climb and climb. The housing market is stagnant and too many Americans have lost their homes while others are paying far more than they can ever hope to make selling their house.

The choice for president this year is not as clear as it was in 2008, however The Eagle recommends a vote for Mitt Romney for president, although we want the Massachusetts Gov. Romney and not Romney the panderer to the far right.

The Eagle endorsed Barack Obama in 2008. Most of the elided section consists of an acknowledgement of the president’s accomplishments and the observation that Mitt Romney has at least as much foreign policy experience as Barack Obama did in 2008.
