The Last Debate

I thought Mitt Romney won on the last debate.  He was serene, presidential and respectuful; in sharp contrast to Mr. Obama who exuded desperation with senseless attacks that I don't think will make much difference over the final result.  I don't think Americans will choose a disrespectful, sardonic attack dog over a seasoned, experienced candidate who can really make a difference in their lives, because with Mr. Obama's dismal record, there is no debating that Mr. Romney is the right man at the right time.  I don't think this is a game of who can attack more or demolish his challenger more effectively, but who has more to offer the country at this crucial time in our history, and Mr. Romney's vast experience has proven that he is the man for the job.  Mr. Obama tried to defend his record vigorously, but it is frankly indefensible, and any intelligent viewer will see right through the great demagoguery, which Mr. Obama seems to be quite the expert at.  It worked for you once Mr. Obama, but it won't work today.  We gave you a chance, elected you with so much warmth and even joy, and as the cliche says, "you blew it."  You chose other countries over America, you wasted no opportunities to downgrade and criticize your own land.  I could go on and on with lots of examples, but suffice to say that you hurt the country who elected you with so much goodwill and affection. 

I thought Mr. Romney missed a great opportunity to go after Mr. Obama's disastrous handling of Libya, which was frankly the elephant in the room, but he may have decided to take the high road and I only hope and pray it works for him and for our country.  Mr. Romney is the true patriot here, and he has demonstrated that by the way he's lived his life, but unfortunately Mr. Obama isn't.  Let's look at his deeds, not his words, and let's choose our country first.  It's time to let him go.

A Political Star is Born

Mitt Romney was simply electrifying on the first presidential debate.  He showed passion, convinction and a great wealth of knowledge.  In my opinion, he was magnificent.  In one single, great performance he managed to destroy all the outrageous myths, lies and innuendos that have marred his campaign.  What we saw out there wasn't the cold-hearted, rich, out of touch entrepreneur who only cares about the rich, but a man with a purpose.  A man committed to restoring America to its rightful place in the world.  A man committed to saving America from sliding headlong into socialism. A patriotic man who wants to take on the hardest job in the world, not out of vanity, but because he knows he can make a difference, and out of a sense of duty.  If anybody doubted that he's got what it takes, should have no more doubts after that brilliant debate.  Mr. Romney is uniquely qualified to lead the country in this hour of need.  This is his time and I hope his destiny, but will the country do the right thing and elect him?  I passionately hope so because if we don't, America will be the loser.
