Former Republican FL Governor Charlie Crist endorses President Obama


Charlie Crist writes a huge love letter about why he's endorsing President Obama.

He said:
I’ve studied, admired and gotten to know a lot of leaders in my life. Across Florida, in Washington and around the country, I’ve watched the failure of those who favor extreme rhetoric over sensible compromise, and I’ve seen how those who never lose sight of solutions sow the greatest successes.

As America prepares to pick our president for the next four years — and as Florida prepares once again to play a decisive role — I’m confident that President Barack Obama is the right leader for our state and the nation. I applaud and share his vision of a future built by a strong and confident middle class in an economy that gives us the opportunity to reap prosperity through hard work and personal responsibility. It is a vision of the future proven right by our history.

We often remind ourselves to learn the lessons of the past, lest we risk repeating its mistakes. Yet nearly as often, our short-term memory fails us. Many have already forgotten how deep and daunting our shared crisis was in the winter of 2009, as President Obama was inaugurated. It was no ordinary challenge, and the president served as the nation’s calm through a historically turbulent storm.
There's more, go here to read the rest.

Somehow this doesn't strike me as a surprise considering how hard in the paint so many social progressives and LGBT activists have gone after him for his clear hypocrisy over the past 2 decades in his political and personal decisions.

Anyways, good for him because at least he has the sense unlike some queeridos these days like GOProud twats that will vote and campaign against themselves for the hell of hoping the sanity will see them as human beings.

Interesting this comes as the GOP prepares to open the convention in Tampa. Welcome to the Sunshine State.
