Why I Am Endorsing President Barack Obama - Susan Eisenhower

[Norbert]

Susan is the Granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Four years ago, I left the Republican Party of which I was a lifelong member and became an independent. Not long after, I supported Barack Obama in the 2008 election for president. I made this decision determined to look at the issues not as a Republican or a Democrat, but as an American.

It is through that lens that I consider my choice in the 2012 election. Like many other voters who crossed party lines to vote for Barack Obama in the last election, I have watched the 2012 campaign carefully and listened closely to what the candidates have said. I believe that President Obama should be re-elected...

1. Ike wasn't perfect, but a very good president.

He was bad on civil rights, but appointed Earl Warren. A man of innate decency, like Gerald Ford, who would be tarred and feathered in today's GOP.

He actually believed government could do good on behalf of citizens who were not warmongers or like the Kochs. Imagine that.

2. Hm... To counter Susan Eisenhower...

I'm Joe Smith a Democrat*. Four years ago, I supported Obama** (wink, wink), but he didn't do anything good for the country. Gov. Mit Romney on the other hand, is a man of talent, had great success, and offers a fresh vision for the country, hence, I now support Mitt Romney.

4. A thinking former Republican.

Her dissection of current issues is quite refreshing. If one has time, read her blog analyzing the debates. She is coherent and thoughtful.
