Obama Wins? Writing on the Wall!

The presidential election is almost over. The only thing that remains is for everyone to go to the polls and vote for Barack Obama. Mitt Romney has managed to place his foot in his mouth again. I really do not think he gets it. Saying that you are a rich kid, born with a silver spoon in your mouth and that half of the country feels entitled to and is dependent government programs. Then to say that if he would have been born in Mexico he would win the election. Then to say all of this in front of a room full of rich folks in private and get caught doing it and having the nerve to stand by what he said. Like my baby daughter would say; oh my God!

Mr. Romney, this is the information and technology age. People have phones and cameras every where. It is rare that you can say or do anything and not be overheard or video taped. This is like a thief that robs the corner store on video tape. Weren't you smart enough to know somebody would see you and turn you in? Wisdom is known of her children, and that was not wise. Mitt, can I call you Mitt? Wants to run the entire country and be the leader of the free world but you keep making big mistakes. Let's see you insult the host country of the Olympics, you make remarks insulting Muslim countries, you flip flop on your health care plan, and now this. Even a fool that keeps his mouth shut is considered wise.

I do not even like politics, but this latest debacle is utterly ridiculous. How is it possible that you would insult the very people you want to lead? Where is your compassion and love for the people? At the end of the day running for political office is a popularity contest. Talking about the people you want to elect you is not very smart. Mr. Romney is not even popular among his own party. During the Republican convention the last two Republican presidents and vice-presidents didn't even show up to their own convention. The old saying goes, “you look conspicuous by your absence.” The convention looked like an old boys club meeting with rich folks holding million dollar parties on yachts, while the rest of the country is struggling trying to find its next meal or tank of gas. It is clear that everybody is not struggling.

Stop with the I pulled myself up by the bootstraps lies, when you never struggled a day in your life. You are trying to portray yourself as one of the common folk, but you are far from that reality. You have no empathy for the people. You refuse to release your tax returns and documentation from your past does not add up. What else are you trying to hide? If you are lying about all of that, then what else will you lie to the American people about? Just be honest, and say I'm a rich kid and want to be president and help rich folk get richer. You parade your wife in front of the country in a red dress to say “I love you women” but want to take women back to the dark ages where they have no rights at all. Your healthcare proposal will also take seniors and others back to having little or no health care and really will not stop the breach in spending on healthcare. So who are you for? Are the American people the 2 percent that are rich or the 98 percent that are not. Who will you fight for and represent?

The rich folks sold the country out and now want to blame the poor and middle class. The very people that Romney put down are in that situation because corporate CEO's, like him, outsourced our jobs and moved their businesses out of the country. Now they want to run on a platform of jobs and fixing the broken economy which they broke in the first place. Then, they want to do it with the same trickle down economic theory that has never worked in the past. If it failed in the past, it is a good chance it will fail in the future. It is all a lie to say the people are dependent on entitlements when most of the welfare in this country has been given to the RICH. All of the trillions of dollars of bailout money went to corporations, not the poor and middle class. It went to banks and car companies and big industry. Even the food stamp program is to profit the rich. When people on food stamps go to the store and buy food, the money goes right back into the hands of the corporations.

The Republicans want Latino votes but do not want Latinos in the country. In fact, they do not want anyone who is not affluent to enter the country and have the opportunity for the American dream. The proof is all of the Republican sponsored immigration laws meant to keep Latino people out. They parade a handful of Latino folks in front of us, so that we will believe that they are inclusive of everyone, which is simple not true. They do the same for the African-American vote. The African-Americans that represent the Republican party tend to be more well off than most. “Are their Blacks better than other Blacks?” The democratic convention actually looked like the United States of America. People of all races, creeds and colors. Wasn't that the vision of the founding fathers of this country? Isn't the United States supposed to be a melting pot where all can come together in freedom and liberty and pursue the American Dream?

Mr. Romney the People are hurting, but you want them to make more bricks with no straw. We have already been delivered from that, no need to go back. Mr. Romney if you want to be president you have to be the president for all the people, of all the people, and by all the people, not just the rich, wealthy, and well off. How can you actually lead and serve people that you despise? True leadership begins with love and compassion for people.
