The Endorsement: He’s not one of us but….

The International Socialists support Obama.  They hope for “real change.”  Obama can be pressured.

Of course we do feel that people should vote for Obama over McCain, not because he is one of us or is even friendly to us and our positions, but because there is no hope of real change without a president that progressives and social movements can pressure to sign legislation that provides universal, affordable health care; reestablishes unions’ ability to organize, reexamines our trade agreements and withdraws our forces from Iraq as quickly as possible.
