Montana’s Largest Newspaper Admits “We Were Wrong” on Obama


After endorsing him for President in 2008, the Billings-based Gazette – Montana’s largest newspaper – has admitted that they were off the mark in supporting Barack Obama and have been proven wrong by the last six years of history.

As part of a June 27th editorial, the paper said, “Sometimes, you have to admit you’re wrong. And, we were wrong.”

An unusual move for a newspaper to make, the Gazette’s editors felt they had no choice but to apologize for endorsing a young candidate who has been at the center of several scandals (B******i, the IRS, Iraq) as well as a President who has done little to make progress on his most important campaign promises. The latter is actually great news for anyone who doesn’t want to see the country slide into a liberal swamp, but it’s understandable that the Gazette would not see things this way.

Even the right’s most prominent columnists rarely wrap Obama’s failures in such a succinct bow. The paper cites the NSA spying controversy, the Bergdahl fiasco, the VA scandal, the lack of promised t***sparency, and the failures in Iraq as the reasons for withdrawing support.

Obviously, this falls pretty comfortably in the “better late than never” category, but it’s still a blessing to see people in the media come to their senses about this guy. It might be unfortunate that this wake-up call couldn’t have happened two years ago, but I guess you have to take what you can get. In any case, the same journalists that have abandoned the Hope and Change Train will be jumping on the next socialist social climber that comes along.

Of course, the Gazette probably doesn’t have much to apologize for in the first place. The state went to McCain in 2008, it went to Romney in 2012, and it will probably go to the Republican candidate in 2016. Montana is a red state through and through, with Republicans enjoying a 14-point percentage advantage according to a 2012 Gallup poll. And that even begs the real question: how much do newspaper endorsements mean in the first place? Furthermore, should they even be making endorsements to begin with?

Newspaper endorsements have tradition in their favor, but they date from a time when people expected their journalists to have a point of view. In the last half-century or so, the public has forced newspapers to take a more balanced approach to the news, eschewing yellow journalism and endless polemic writing for the plain facts. Of course, the idea of bias ever leaving journalism entirely is a joke, one that has become even more hilarious in the advent of a few major corporations controlling most of the media. Still, the idea of a newspaper – even one that draws laughter when they claim to be unbiased – throwing their support behind a candidate is archaic and unsettling. Certainly, they have the right to do so. It’s just a matter of whether they should.

The first step is to acknowledge the investigation done by America's Toughest Sherriff, Joe Arepio, and accept and acknowledge the findings DONE In that investigation and prosecute Mr Obama according to those findings that he is NOT qualified to be President because he was Not born in this country.... He is an usurper of power, and all of his p**********l actions are illegal, and all the laws and executive orders are illegal and need to be wiped off the books, and everyone that is complicate with him need to be imprisoned for Treason and other violations of the Law...
Period.....Case Closed....

Randy33, I wish more people looked at this fraud like you and I do. He is pals with Bill Ayers, a slimy American hating loser. The left sees nothing wrong with a U.S. president,( as long as the president has a D beside the name), casting lots with this kind of trash. Barry is a hero, while the T.E.A. PARTY are the real terrorists in these bozo's minds. Good post.

Randy33: I totally agree...Rule of Law is grossly being abused, and the elitist are laughing all the way to the Bank! This is grounds for a Revolution....it may well be the only way to straighten this Country out! I do believe change is making its way at the grassroots level...but obstruction of Law is rampant at the DOJ and is being ignored by Congress for some unknown reason of treason?

The joke is on the liberals! They are simply to stupid to realize that. Being a Christian I have been called a terrorist, a bigot, a h**er, a h********c and many other names by ignorant liberals. Its a pity that they are so stupid that they can't even recognize when they are being led to their own demise by the very people they praise and worship.

"Can someone please post his failures for me?" Do you live under a rock? Never look at a newspaper? Never turn on a radio to a news broadcast? A TV? Every word he has ever uttered, every executive order he has written, Obamacare, B******i, The IRS targeting of Conservative groups, failures? He has not had a single success!!

Don't forget his " imaginary son"! Libs live in a fantasy world with made up children and r****m behind every tree. To live in the real world would mean taking responsibility for the failed god of liberalism. As for Rush, it sticks in their crawl like a bad Mexican dinner. Especially the success he has and the failure of Air America. That's why they let b****s always be "victims" so they can get the v**es and just throw them a bone every e******n year. But the b****s are being thrown under the bus for the newest "v**ers", er "victims", the i******s that this buffoon is giving amnesty to.

You want to know about someone in particular, look at who they associate with. In Obama's case that was all that was needed. The list of his other quirks is too lengthy to go over but when added it is irrefutable. He and his supporters need to be given hat into hand and shown the door. Permanently.

I would have to hire a gymnasium full of typist to list every failure which has President Obama's fingerprints on it.

Instead lets see where his supposed triumphs have turned into such humiliating defeats for the President that he no longer even mentions them.

Number one is his supposed triumph in Egypt and the Arab Spring where Obama engineered the downfall of Hosni Mubarak and Obama ushered in the rise of the Muslim (Mohammedan) Brotherhood.

How did that turn out? Disastrous, the Egyptians turned out in mass protests.... like 30% to 40% of the total population demonstrating in the street simultaneously for a return to a Military Dictatorship. That is really not what the Egyptian people want but it is far more palatable to them that Mohamed Morsi who was Obama's hand picked Mohammedan Brotherhood candidate to succeed Hosni Mubarak.

Mohamed Morsi lasted just 3 days past one year (June 30, 2012 to July 3, 2013 before popular un-rest resulted in his a-rrest and imprisonment. Click on these links to view how Egyptians feel about Obama after the new car smell wears off.

I think that some of you will like how the Egyptoon cartoon ends.

The same thing of course happened in Iraq when Obama pulled out (most) US troops and the gains that were won with American lives and blood were wasted when ISIS came roaring down from Syria. Of course Obama could think of nothing better to say now but blame his failures in Iraq on George W. Bush. View this lie and follow the twisted logic here by clicking on the following link.

Turdnester, Let me know when you've had enough now, OK sport?
Click on the link at the bottom of this page to view the most tortured two minutes of lying mouthed by any American President since the invention of talkies. The logic is just as convoluted

He made a good try at putting his policies in effect when in 2007 in an interview with a Left or rather a RED wing newspaper Obama promised that if elected that he would make our energy bills "Skyrocket" Today gasoline is under $2.00 per gallon in many states. Considering that it was $1.60 when Obama took office I assume that small increase in gasoline prices is a tiny Obama victory.

Turd Nester, wait to you see the send off that the Egyptians gave your Secretary of State Billary Clinton, its a hoot and a blast from the past..

I knew all along that this man-chilid was and is completely wrong for our country. But no, the media failed to do its job, as it failing to do so now.

So big deal Montana newspaper. Thanks to you and your cohorts, we are now stuck with a rigid ideologue who is hell bent on socializing our country.

The Anointed One does believe in e******y. Everyone (except himself) must be equally economically miserable.

What did Obama and his Secretary of State do in just a few short months to q***r our relationship with Egypt and the Egyptian people? Watch and learn.

As the last video mentions, if Hillary Clinton is in an uncomfortable position in respect to Mohamed Morsi then she should tell him that he's hurting her and to roll over on his back.

You know I think that Hillary was even wearing a little blue dress when she met with Mohamed Morsi. I wonder if Morsi smokes the same brand of stogies that Bill uses.
