Obama’s Leadership “Is Less Than Inspiring.” (Editorial, “Romney The Leader America
Needs To Create More Jobs,” The Daily Tribune,
10/12/12)

The Daily Tribune
: “‘Obama’s Wars’ depicts an administration riven with
division over policies in Iraq and Afghanistan, perhaps overly focused on

policies to the public.” (Editorial, “Romney The Leader America
Needs To Create More Jobs,” The Daily Tribune,
10/12/12)

swagger and leadership to uplift the nation’s mood?” (Editorial, “The
Case For Mitt Romney For President,” The Daily Herald, 10/28/12)

The
Daily Herald : Obama’s Reelection
“Tone Is Division And Damaging.” “More pointedly, we
are disappointed in the tone of Obama’s relentless insinuations that
wealthy Americans refuse to pay their fair share. That tone is divisive
and damaging for the nation and for our economy. It creates villains and
victims, and unfairly so.” (Editorial, “The Case For Mitt Romney
For President,” The Daily Herald, 10/28/12)
The
Daily Herald : “When The Economy
Was Wracked, He Chose Instead To Focus On Health Care Reform.” (Editorial,
“The Case For Mitt Romney For President,” The Daily Herald, 10/28/12)

#11 – Houston Chronicle: “Obama’s
Deeds Have Failed To Match His Words.” Four years later, President Obama’s deeds have failed to match

bring the nation’s unemployment rate to 6 percent.” (Editorial,
“Romney For President,” Houston Chronicle, 10/21/12)

Houston Chronicle
: “We do not believe four more years on the same plodding

For That Reason, Romney Should Be Elected President On Nov. 6.” Economic recovery must be spurred to a faster
pace, and a change to Romney’s leadership would do that.” (Editorial,
“Mitt Romney: New Leadership For More Economic Growth,” Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 10/20/12)

call for hope and change. Perhaps the change he spoke of could only come with
the help of Mitt Romney.” (Editorial, “Time For Another Change,”
The Tennessean, 10/17/12)

The Tennessean
: Obama Suffers From An “Inability To Possess Leadership To Break
The Partisan Gridlock In Congress.” “President Obama’s steps

partisan gridlock in Congress.” (Editorial, “Time For Another
Change,” The Tennessean, 10/17/12)
The Tennessean
: Obama’s Lack Of Leadership And Inability To Forge Bipartisan
Consensus For Health-Care Reform Was A “Sad Failure.” And

support.” (Editorial, “Time For Another Change,” The Tennessean, 10/17/12)

been able to enact policies that might significantly grow jobs and restore the
nation’s economy.” (Editorial, “Mitt Romney For President,” The Reporter, 10/28/12)

The Reporter
: “Mr. Obama may have great ideas, but if he can’t get them

account will change after Nov. 6 — they are worthless.” (Editorial,
“Mitt Romney For President,” The Reporter, 10/28/12)

#17 – The New York Observer: “The United States simply cannot afford
another four years of weak leadership.” (Editorial, “Romney For
President,” The New York Observer, 10/16/12)

The New York Observer : Obama’s Class Warfare Rhetoric Is Not That Of A
“Friend” OR A “Leader,” But A “Politician.”
“Class warfare might be a successful strategy for cobbling together 270
electoral votes. But it’s not the way to unite a divided nation. The
president comes to town on a Monday, takes our money, shakes our hands and
tells us how much he values the CEOs and innovators of New York. And then
on Tuesday, he turns around and refers to business leaders as fat cat
bankers whose success was created by the sweat of others. That’s not a
friend. That’s not a leader. That’s a politician.” (Editorial,
“Romney For President,” The New York Observer, 10/16/12)
The New York Observer : Obama “Squandered An Opportunity To Bring
Positive Change To Washington-And What Change He Did Bring Will Burden
Future Generations.” We continue to rack up debt, buy services we

to end.” (Editorial, “Romney For President,” The New York Observer, 10/16/12)

together.” (Editorial, “Romney Offers New Leadership America
Needs,” The Billings Gazette

of fumbling.” (Editorial, “After Four Years Of Failure, It’s
Time For A Change,” Casper Star-Tribune
, 10/14/12)

#22 – Bluefield Daily Telegraph: “As the economic crisis continued to grow -
and millions more were still without work – Obama chose to ignore the emergency
at hand and instead came to a Kroger store right here in Southwest Virginia to
stump for his controversial health care reform package.” (Editorial,
“President Of The United States, Republican Mitt Romney,” Bluefield Daily Telegraph
, 10/23/12)

Bluefield Daily Telegraph : “When we needed a president and a
Congress who would fight to lift us out of a painful recession, they were

oppose or simply don’t understand.” (Editorial, “President Of
The United States, Republican Mitt Romney,” Bluefield Daily Telegraph, 10/23/12)

(Editorial, “Romney For President,” Fitchburg Sentinel & Enterprise,
10/21/12)
Fitchburg Sentinel & Enterprise : “Where’s Your Plan, Mr. President?”
“President Obama makes a weak case for re-election. He says his
policies need four more years to kick in. This from a commander-in-chief
who hasn’t passed a federal budget in three years, hasn’t submitted a
comprehensive energy bill in four years, and hasn’t given voters an
inkling of where America might be headed through 2016. Where’s your plan,
Mr. President?” (Editorial, “Romney For President,” Fitchburg Sentinel & Enterprise,
10/21/12)

#24 – Journal And Courier [Lafayette,
IN]: “We just don’t
believe he’s [Obama's] earned another four years.” (Editorial, “For
President – Mitt Romney,” Journal And Courier,
10/26/12)

Journal And Courier : “Where’s The Plan? … In All Of That
Campaigning, That Plan Didn’t Emerge.” “But here’s the rub:
Obama has had four years. What improvements he’s overseen are largely
incremental. Instead, lectures become excuses. And the excuses wear thin.
Eventually, Obama’s words, meant for Romney, blow back: Where’s the plan?
Where does this White House administration see America in four years? In
all of that campaigning, that plan didn’t emerge.” (Editorial,
“For President – Mitt Romney,” Journal And Courier
, 10/26/12)

Journal And Courier : Obama “Can Dish Out Blame” But Either
He “Doesn’t Have The Clout Or The Willingness To Work The Halls To
Recruit Allies In Congress.” “That said, we’ve watched Obama

blame for recalcitrant factions on the other side of the aisle, he either
doesn’t have the clout or the willingness to work the halls to recruit
allies in Congress. (Editorial, “For President – Mitt Romney,” Journal And Courier
, 10/26/12)
Journal And Courier : “He [Obama] spent so much time and
political capital to pass a health care bill – one that actually wasn’t

of improving the economy.” (Editorial, “For President – Mitt
Romney,” Journal And Courier
, 10/26/12)

For President,” The Joplin Globe, 10/27/12)

#26 – The Shreveport Times: “We Have
Little Confidence Obama Will Be More Successful Managing The Economy And The
Budget Going Forward.” “It is true that in 2008 we endorsed the change promised by
Obama, but the reality today is – four years later – we have little confidence

President,” The Shreveport Times,
10/26/12)

Our Economy The Focus Of His Full Attention.” (Editorial,

, 10/26/12)

#27 – Cape Cod Times: “It was the vision of hope and change that
convinced us four years ago to support then-Sen. Barack Obama over Sen. John McCain.

economic doldrums, and there is little change in how Washington operates.”

the time.” (Editorial, “Romney For President,” Cape Cod Times, 10/28/12)

#28 – Worcester Telegram & Gazette: “President Barack Obama has had ample time
to transform the ‘hope and change’ of the 2008 campaign into positive results.
The results have been deeply disappointing, and the tenor of his re-election
campaign gives us no cause to hope a second term would offer anything
better.” (Editorial, “Romney For President,” Worcester Telegram & Gazette, 10/28/12)

Worcester Telegram & Gazette : Obama’s “Prescriptions … Have Fallen
