We Americans are notorious for our short political memories, for not always acknowledging that considerable progress has been made even though times are still difficult for many of us. Given the truly awful state of the economy four years ago and the geopolitical strains created in large part by unwise foreign policy decisions by the previous president, it is fair to say that few presidents have entered the Oval Office with as daunting a set of challenges as those that faced Barack Obama.
And it is also fair to say, although his critics will never admit it, that much progress has been made in addressing those challenges and that recovery proceeds, albeit at a slower pace than the president and the rest of us would like to see. The profoundly mistaken military venture in Iraq that his predecessor began has been ended, and an end is in sight to the military effort in Afghanistan.

(3,867 posts)Way to go Montgomery. Really thought Huntsville Times or The Crimson White would be the one to endorse Obama if he got one in this state. There are a lot of bright blue dot stickers out here. Not enough though.

ABC was making a big deal out of the Register's endorsement of Romney, making sure to add that last election they endorsed Obama.
So, HERE'S a news story for you...and of COURSE you'll run it, right?
