Despite Barack Obama secretly meeting with Rupert Murdoch, and despite the New York Post's semi-recent turn to support Hillary Clinton, the News Corp. tabloid has gone ahead and "enthusiastically" endorsed John McCain for president. Not that the Post is ready to pour cement shoes for Obama: "None of this implies an iota of disrespect toward Obama. It took a formidable candidacy to defeat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton - a candidacy, by the way, which we strongly supported earlier this year. And the intelligence, the organizational skills and the ability to communicate that Obama demonstrated from the beginning dramatically underscore the history that is being made by the first African-American to head a major-party presidential ticket."
