Robert Reich endorses Obama
Obama for President

The formal act of endorsing a candidate is generally (and properly)limited to editorial pages and elected officials whose constituents might be influenced by their choice. The rest of us shouldn't assume anyone cares. My avoidance of offering a formal endorsement until now has also been affected by the pull of old friendships and my reluctance as a teacher and commentator to be openly partisan. But my conscience won't let me be silent any longer.

I believe that Barack Obama should be elected President of the United States.

2. I respect his opinion and positions
Can't have been an easy decision, esp after the Richardson flap.

9. I'm sorry, but Judas has already been taken
Benedict Arnold, however, is still available.

Reich has better move quickly, though, b/c I have a feeling he won't be the last Clinton loyalist to "turn coat".

8. I've always admired him
He was always my favorite member of Bill Clinton's cabinet. I wouldn't have minded if he had endorsed Hillary, but it is nice to hear him endorse Obama.
