Well, I did vote early. I voted today, the 19th of October. I don’t plan on voting often. And I am still alive, so I won’t be voting in Chicago. This is the first time I have voted by absentee ballot. That means, I voted before the third debate. Maybe I should have given Obama one more chance. Maybe he won’t be lethargic and out of it, like he was in the first debate. Or, as smug, arrogant and aggressive as he was in the second debate. I don’t expect he can get moderators in two successive debates to bail him out.
I can’t think of anything he could do in the third debate to change my mind. He could admit than he lied when he claimed he said, in the Rose Garden, that our ambassador was killed in an act of terror. But that would make him an acknowledged liar, rather than a deceitful liar. And then, the spin meisters came out and said, “yes, he called it an act of terror.” I need to move on because this subject has me frothing at the mouth.
After all, isn’t it really all about the economy? We have a President that stated what he was going to accomplish and has miserably failed – for four years. He was going to bring unemployment down to 5% and he didn’t bring it down at all. He was going to cut the debt in half. But, he added a trillion dollars to our national debt each year he has been in the White House. Hope and Change. What a joke. I’m frothing again. I think the only Hope is for a Change.
I know that some people believe that the Republicans in Congress went out of their way to keep Obama from succeeding. First, let me say that the Congress of the United States is a true embarrassment – both Republicans and Democrats. But Obama had a complete Democrat majority his first two years (half the time he was in the White House) and had nothing to show for it, except Obamacare. The entire time of his administration, he never passed a budget. You can say that that is Congress’ fault, but I say if we had a president who was a leader, we would have had a budget. Does anybody doubt that Mitt Romney will have a budget his first year?
If you hire someone who has no qualifications or understanding of the job, you get what you deserve. That is what we got with Obama. Nice looking, articulate (with a teleprompter) and likeable, but unqualified. The guy who told the press he had visited 57 states (Can you imagine how the press would had played that up if Dan Quayle had said that?). The leader of the free world who bowed to a Saudi King and then had his spin meisters say he didn’t do it.
I have finally come around to Hope and Change. Our only Hope is to fire Obama and Change to someone who can get the economy going. I believe Mitt Romney can do it. He worked with a Democrat legislature in Massachusetts. He put a struggling Olympics into the black and I want to give him a chance to do something good for our struggling country. We desperately need it.
Never has a president accomplished so little in helping the economy and piled on so much debt. I would like to say, “But maybe I’m wrong.” But the facts won’t let me.
Obama said, “If I don’t get this thing done in three years, I’ll be a one term president.” Well alright then.
