Buffett hasn't endorsed a presidential candidate yet, but he said Wednesday that Obama "is going to bring outstanding ideas to a new administration."
He isn't endorsing Obama, yet.
He's said previously he'd be happy with either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Obama, and has also spoken favorably about the presidential prospects of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who recently left the Republican Party to become an independent.
But don't despair, not everything the Oracle from Omaha touches turns to gold. Not when it comes to politics, anyway.
This year John Kerry is looking for the same magic: he teamed up with Buffett early on, and will surely be dropping his name until Election Day.


A very few people are very, very, good at one main they do. A few others are pretty good at almost everything they do. Most of us are average at what we do (see definition of "average").
Norman Mailer mainly writes fiction though he has also done non-fiction. Some feel he is very good at fiction. In my opinion he would make a disastrous President. If we gave him the power to choose our next President, his choice would be disastrous, in my opinion.
Warren Buffet is very good at making investments. I do not care a f--t whom he likes for President.

Intelligence is being smart in what you do. He's smart in making money. Who cares what he thinks.
Hey, wait. Maybe he could donate all his money to the IRS and lower all our taxes. I still wouldn't care, though.
