Will
the Real President Obama Stand Up?
Like millions of people around the world, I watched
the Presidential debate last night with great expectations. In fact, I am on vacation in Aruba and made
sure I was planted in front of the TV instead of my nightly ritual of lounging
at the pool.
Something happened to me right before the debate
that was scary. I thought, “what if
President Obama does not win tonight.” I felt extremely agitated and tense. It
was such a scary feeling that I went on the balcony, looked to the sky and said
a prayer.
Unlike the excitement I experienced with the McCain/Obama
debate of 2008, when I was in DC at an event where they interrupted the program
and showed the debate on two large screens, I felt disappointed. I was disenchanted with the entire
program. The moderator, Jim Lehrer was not in
control of the debate, Romney did a great job at continuing to flip-flop and there
were so many missed opportunities where President Obama could have won hands
down. Some points I believe could have turned the debate were simple and
outlined below.
1. Does
Romney Like Obamacare or Not? First, he
campaigned on the promise he would appeal Obamacare, and now he says he likes
some portions of the plan.
Obama
– You say you will appeal Obamacare,
then turn around and put portions of the plan back into your own health care
plan that was largely based on your original health care plan as governor of Massachusetts.
In my Gary Coleman voice, “What you trying to say Mitt?”
2. Both
candidates went on and on about taxes and tax cuts.
Obama
– Speaking of taxes Mitt, where are yours?
3. Jobs
Obama
– Mitt, when you were Governor of Massachusetts, the state was 48th
in job creation and what about all the jobs Bain Capital outsourced to places
like China, who you say you will change how you do business with once you are President?
Does that mean you will bring back all the jobs you outsourced?
4. Rodney
boasted Massachusetts was number one in Education.
Obama-
That may be true now, but not ten years ago when you were Governor. Are you trying to steal someone else’s credit
or just the election?
5. President
Obama said under the Bush trade laws; corporations get tax breaks for doing
business overseas. Romney said
corporations do not get breaks.
Obama
– Why did you outsource jobs and put your money in banks outside the United
States if there is no benefit? As a matter
of fact Mitt, explain to the American people how you expect to represent them
when you have outsourced your own money and supported other loopholes for the
rich.
6. Romney kept repeating
under my plan, under my plan, under my plan……….
Obama
– First of all Mitt, where are your plans.
Secondly, do they include the 47 percent of Americans you are not
concerned about?
Where was the real President Obama last night and
will the real Mitt Romney please stand up? In spite of all, Obama has proven to be a man
of his word in spite of the many obstacles and Romney has never kept his word
because he changes his position to fit the situation. I continue to pray and
feel confident President Obama will prevail.
VOTE on November 6th.
