ObamaTory!
Posted by Adam Blickstein

Not one to parse his words, the Tory Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has weighed in on the U.S.Presidential election:

I think [Republican candidate] John McCain has many, many wonderful qualities... but I think a Barack Obama victory would do fantastic things for the confidence and the feelings of black people around the world - that they can win."

Asked if he endorsed Obama, he said: "Yes."

His, um, interesting endorsement of Obama is quite a reversal for Johnson, who once wrote:"Not only did I want Bush to win, but we threw the entire weight of The Spectator behind him." But then again, he also once said about Bush: "The President is a cross-eyed Texan warmonger, unelected, inarticulate, who epitomises the arrogance of American foreign policy."

That has to be the most condescending endorsement ever. That guy's a wanker.

The Republican party is so far to the right on most issues that is not that difficult to imagine a Tory endorsing a Democrat. David Cameron, the current leader of the British Conservative Party, would be considered a liberal Democrat with his support of the poor and the Kyoto protocols.
