This is opinion journalism?
Mr. Obama offers a breath of fresh air and new hope at a depressing time in the life of this nation. His selection would send an unmistakable signal to the world that America really may be living up to its promise of a just and truly pluralistic society.
And how many of his Senate bills have maded into law? Just one.
This is rich:
Additionally, Mr. Obama, a younger and more physically vigorous man, will be in a far better position to push Americans into solving one of the biggest problems we face: that of an unhealthy, morbidly obese generation of young people, a health crisis that is costing the nation billions. We applaud the fact that, urged by his talented wife, Michelle, he has quit smoking. That alone should be an inspiration to millions.
Since when is the president supposed to be some fitness coach? And by the way, we all know smoking is bad.
And some more ridiculousness:
America is badly in need of something new. We need this election to mark, at last, the end of the Vietnam period. Hillary Clinton is a product of that era and is, in a sense, still fighting its battles.
If so, why did Barack Obama show up at the home of two violent Vietnam War protesters as he gathered support for his first state Senate run in 1996? Obama's ties to former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are stoking those Vietnam War embers.
Toledo, we have a problem. We are electing a president here.
Oh yes, obesity is bad, and please don't eat too much fatty food.
The Toledo Blade is in fact dull.
