I’m trying to be fair here.
My opinion is that Mitt Romney is a man of accomplishment and he carries himself that way. He knows how to make and has made tough decisions. Most importantly, he knows how to get things done even when he doesn’t get everything he wants. Mostly Romney strikes me as a man who thinks about the larger picture and will lead that way. With that said, is he a little power hungry? Probably. Is he always telling the truth? Probably not.
Obama on the other hand has always struck me as a man in over his head. He talks about ‘taxing the rich’ but, ‘envy’ is not a serious economic policy in my book and if it is, Obama certainly hasn’t convinced me that raising taxes on the rich will do anything but, annoy rich people.
As an Americn, I don’t care about the rich. I don’t even care about the poor (per se). I care about the American economy. Instead of attacking Romney, how about Obama explaining his policy on entitlement spending...those sorts of things.
Obama also strikes me as a man who never really had to do the hard work of life. He’s gotten by with ‘razzle-dazzle from day one, apparently. This Libya thing is a classic example. I’m not sure why but, Obama has just been dancing and weaving ever since the 9/11/12 attacks. I bet some real embarrassing crap went down (more embarrassing than we even know) which is why Obama has been lying the last five weeks.
Romney may not be the answer but, I am certain Obama is not the aNSWER. I’m giving Romney my vote and I’ll assume he knows how to govern unless and until he proves otherwise.
The above is the quintessential description of a successful businessman.
"With that said, is he a little power hungry? Probably. Is he always telling the truth? Probably not."
Power "hungry" can mean wanting to be in control since being in control IS a position of power, it simply comes with the territory and this is not or should not be viewed as a negative. It is wholly dependent on the reason one wants to be in control. Id it for better or worse? Power for powers sake is not a good thing but power for good is a good thing. A person who has no desire to take the reigns of the most powerful country ever to exist has no business running for president of this country.
As for truth. No one can be said to never lie. There are lies and there are lies. If your wife or girlfriend asks you if the new dress she bought makes her ass look big are you saying you would say yes it does? If the reason for a lie is to keep and hold power, power which is used for personal gain rather than the betterment of the majority then it is problematic, otherwise the performance of the individual in the job is what is most important.
