The Economist tilts left

The Economist this week is chock full of praise for Obama, and denial. Obama is working wonders in foreign policy and with the economy, The Economist argues. Give him time, they plead.

Obama isn't trying to do too much and isn't advocating European-style socialism, the magazine argues. It's just that the mean old Republicans are distorting Obama's policies. Blame Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and the "firebrand" Mike Pence. Obama could learn from Europeans, The Economist argues.

What he's likely to learn from Europeans isn't likely to appeal to Americans.
