Obama receives Endorsement of LV Review-Journal..Sort of.

I'm happy to see that the Obama campaign hasn't made big hay over the endorsement of the Review Journal. Their "endorsement" reads like this:

"Is Barack Obama, then, the ideal Democratic candidate for president? Hardly. His policy recommendations -- when he can be convinced to get any more specific than "I represent change" -- are the opposite of "change." They're old-line, welfare-state solutions that haven't spent enough time in the microwave to appear even superficially appetizing."

They redeem themselves by holding their nose and admitting:

"But Barack Obama is, at least, likeable. He is a good enough orator that there is no need to cringe when he dares to speak off the cuff. He is a good politician, in the non-insulting sense that he knows how to speak to individual Americans and give them the feeling he cares about their concerns."

With endorsements like that, who needs enemies? The tepid argument really boils down to at least Barack isn't a replay of "It came from Little Rock". Sheesh.
