Times Endorses Hillary

The New Times, in a lengthy editorial On January 25th, endorsed Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee for the presidency. Though there were obligatory words of praise for Barack Obama, the Times echoed the common refrain that Hillary possesses wider and deeper experience. What was not unmentioned by the Times, though it does not comes as a great surprise, is Hillary's vast ties to corporate interests. Nor was much said about Obama's persona being able to present an America to a wider, diverse international community, in which the United States has lost much of its prestige under the Bush administration.
