LIFELONG REPUBLICANS SWITCH TO OBAMA

By WILLIAM D. RUCKELSHAUS and RUSSELL E. TRAIN

The Tampa Tribune

Published: November 1, 2008

As former administrators of the Environmental Protection Agency, we have served three presidents as their principal advisers responsible for the implementation and enforcement of our nation's environmental laws. We are lifelong Republicans. Yet after much thoughtful deliberation we have decided to support Barack Obama in his bid for the White House.
-------------------------------
William D. Ruckelshaus served as the first and fifth administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under Presidents Nixon and Reagan, was acting director of the FBI, and served on the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy.
---
Russell Errol Train was the second EPA Agency Administrator, from September 1973 to January 1977, serving Presidents Nixon and Ford.

Train is a WWII veteran serving at the rank of Major. He was a judge for the U.S. Tax Court from 1957 to 1965. He was President of The Conservation Foundation from 1965 to 1969 and Under Secretary of the Department of the Interior from 1969 to 1970. Between 1970 and 1973 he was Chairman of the newly formed Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ).

The presidential bid of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is getting a boost from three former chairmen of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Former SEC chairmen William Donaldson, Arthur Levitt and David Ruder will announce their support for Mr. Obama this afternoon, three months after former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker endorsed the Democratic candidate.

Mr. Donaldson was appointed by President Bush, while Mr. Ruder was appointed by President Reagan and Mr. Levitt by President Clinton.

Mr. Volcker was appointed by President Carter.

“We believe Senator Obama can provide the positive leadership and judgment needed to take us to a stronger and more secure economic future,” the banking leaders said in a joint statement issued today.

MANCHESTER, NH -- The McCain-Palin campaign today announced that New Hampshire State Representative Doreen Howard, a Democratic legislator from Newmarket, has endorsed John McCain for president. Representative Howard previously supported Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's candidacy.

"As a lifelong Democrat who enthusiastically backed Hillary Clinton in the primaries, I am now supporting John McCain. Like Senator Clinton, McCain values the importance of public service. Both Clinton and McCain put country first and that's critically important," said Howard. "John McCain and Sarah Palin are mavericks who have proven they can deliver real reform. As our nation faces challenges at home and abroad, Americans will benefit from their experience, judgment and strong leadership."

Elected in 2006, Representative Howard is a member of the State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee. She represents Newmarket and Newfields.

Representative Howard supported John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000.

I don't give a crap who is supporting him, OT, it doesn't change a dang thing. You look into the bit of his past that we have pried open from him and you see a steady stream of Socialism indoctrination. You listen to him and look at his policies and you see Socialism. What sense is there in denying the obvious?
