Alexandria Times Endorses Obama
|

Barack Obama has demonstrated broad understanding of the issues and shown the vision to meet very large challenges ahead.
… Barack Obama came out vigorously and early against US involvement in Iraq, and never waivered. Or as Caroline Kennedy put it last week, Barack is “ a president like my father.”
Alexandria is not Chicago, but as the nation’s 166th largest city we suffer a lot of the same intractable problems that it does. We have homelessness, unfunded federal mandates, immigration problems et al. These issues need attention, and we feel that Obama is best-suited to address them.
