(Newser) – Barack Obama today picked up
endorsements from three Democratic Party bigwigs:
Robert Reich, a longtime Clinton friend and ex-Labor
Secretary, and two ex-senators with foreign policy
clout—Sam Nunn of Georgia and David Boren of
Oklahoma. Reich said he decided to endorse
because he was "appalled" by Hillary Clinton's
negative ads in the wake of Obama's comments
about low-income voters, New York reports.
"Those ads are nothing but Republicanism," he said.
Boren and Nunn, meanwhile, said in a joint statement
that "we need a president who has the temperament
of a leader—a sharp, incisive, strategic mind, a rare
capacity for self criticism, and a willingness to hear
contrary points of view." Both will serve as foreign
policy advisers, the Boston Globe notes
