WHO WILL MAKE THE BETTER PRESIDENT? If I had to vote based solely on speeches I’m hearing, I’d have to vote for “Anyone But.” Okay, so “ObamqaLogna” and “RomneyHood” are kind of cute, in a 3-year-old way. And campaign strategists, not the candidates, have to have coined the phrases. I’ll accept them as comic relief. What I really want relief from, though, is half-truths and verbal rock-throwing. I want to hear concrete plans about how we’re going to move our improving, yet fragile, economy into full-blown recovery, and I don’t want empty promises that it will happen overnight if we only vote for one or the other candidate. What I’m hearing now I call Poli-hooey.
Shouldn’t our President be a role model for all Americans, including Congress? Maybe if the candidates stopped acting like spoiled brats our lawmakers would follow suit, learning to compromise for the common good so that fair, equitable laws could be passed to give our economy a giant push in the right direction? Or maybe that’s just the Pollyanna in me. Hey! I could vote for her….
You are so right! I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t listen to a thing that Mr. Romney says. I read a blog on Daily Kos that explains a lot about Romney’s faith — this is where he gets his sense of entitlement. The Mormon religion and their hierarchical leaders are a very strong aspect of his faith. He wouldn’t be able to keep his church out of the politics like John Kennedy did.
