Oct. 17th, 2008 06:07 pmThe Chicago Tribune endorsed Barack Obama for President. This is the first time the paper has endorsed a Democrat.
Obama is deeply grounded in the best aspirations of this country, and we need to return to those aspirations. He has had the character and the will to achieve great things despite the obstacles that he faced as an unprivileged black man in the U.S.
He has risen with his honor, grace and civility intact. He has the intelligence to understand the grave economic and national security risks that face us, to listen to good advice and make careful decisions.
