Revved Up Romney Takes the Fight to an Incompetent President Obama
Mitt Romney is finally coming into his own as the indefatigable Republican nominee. After enduring endless rounds of verbal fist fights with his opponents, Romney proved organization, message and money matter when you run for President of the United States. His victory speech following five primary wins (Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania) revealed a fiery, passionate candidate ready to take the fight to Obama and win!
As a friend told me, Mitt was “crunked.” Indeed he was. Romney is shedding his clinical veneer to reveal his passion for the job of President and why he’s the better choice over Obama. The theme of his speech “A better America begins tonight!” reminded voters Obama’s promise of hope and change turned out to be a dream gone bust. Romney added Obama’s record of failure that “has been the best Barack Obama can do but it’s not the best America can do.”
Romney highlighted how Obama conned Americans into electing him president on the merits of his personality in 2008 but little else.
“Four years ago Barack Obama dazzled us in front of Greek columns with sweeping promises of hope and change but after we came down earth after all the celebrations and parades what do we have to show for President Obama?” The answer is nothing! Over the past three and half years, Obama’s policies have delivered historic unemployment above 8%, excessive regulation, and unsustainable spending and government growth which has killed job creation and the economy.
Obama has NO record to run so as Romney said he will run “a campaign of diversions, distractions and distortions.” From day one, Obama blamed Republicans for not yielding to his demands and causing his failures. The president then distracted and divided the country by waging wars on the rich, women, students, the Catholic church, free enterprise, the Supreme Court and the US Constitution via Obamacare.
Like Romney said, “It’s still about the economy and we’re not stupid.” As the presumptive Republican nominee, Romney is the candidate of opportunity, who can lead the country into a job creating recovery not a government centric black hole in which Obama has us stuck. “We will stop the days of apologizing for success at home and never again apologize for America abroad,” said Romney.
Romney’s pledge to the American people is a stark contrast to Obama who during his first few months in office gave a speech to the Muslim world in Egypt, apologizing for America’s war on terrorism. His first days in office, Obama waged a war on success, telling Americans who do well they should be ashamed of themselves and punished by paying disproportionately higher share in taxes than all other groups. According to Congressional Budget Office, the top 10% of earners pay 55% of all federal taxes, while almost 50% of Americans pay no taxes.
If Romney keeps shining the light of truth on Obama’s ugly record of failure, he will win in November, which is why Obama is running far and wide away from his record. Each week it seems the Obama machine manufactures a new war on some segment of the population to distract Americans from his abysmal record. Of course Obama’s perpetual domestic enemy combatant is Republicans.
This week’s war is on students and their school loans so Obama can to snag the student vote. Obama and Democrats want to keep interest rates rising from 3.4% to 6.8%, which would cost $6 billion and are blasting Republicans for worrying about how taxpayers will pay for it. Even the liberal Washington Post blasts Obama’s loan games for spending money on yet another initiative we can’t afford.
Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan wrote Obama’s strategy is “divide and conquer, break the country into little pieces and pick up as many as you can.” Americans are tired of Obama’s war mongering. He sounds like Chicken Little screaming everyday “the sky is falling” but give me another four years and I’ll fix it. Most presidents vying for a second term at this stage in the game are touting their successes but we don’t hear that from Obama. Instead we hear Obama moan and groan how he inherited a mess but it was a job he raised $700million to win so he apparently wanted the mess.
The job of President of the United States is bigger than oneself and good presidents know how to put the brakes on their ideological egos and seek compromise from the opposing party for the greater good of the country, something Obama will never do. The job of POTUS isn’t too big for Mitt Romney because Romney’s ego isn’t bigger than the job or more important.
The more Romney talks, the better he sounds. The more Obama talks and appears on TV, the worse things get and the more incompetent he looks. Another sign of Obama’s desperation is having Bill Clinton appear in his new political ad where Clinton effusively praises the capture of Osama bin Laden. Invoking words from Bush, Clinton says “the president is the decider in chief,” thus reminding Americans this was one of the few times other than Obamacare that Obama has taken responsibility for a decision during his administration. And it’s worth noting that were it not for the Bush administration’s enhanced interrogation techniques like water boarding, which Attorney General Eric Holder tried to prosecute CIA agents for using, Obama would never have caught bin Laden.
Records win re-elections not late night TV appearances in which President Obama “slow jams the news”, making a mockery of the office to attract young voters ignorant of his record. No president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has won re-election when unemployment was 7% or higher and Obama is presiding over unemployment north of 7%. It’s about the economy stupid and Americans will not be fooled again by a celebrity candidate strong on personality and weak on substance. “Romney will win in a landslide,” my friend Tony Powers recently told me. I’m beginning to think so, along with many Americans, who as Romney said, “are tired of being tired.”
Good read. I especially liked the part about the “government centric black hole”. The size and scope of goevernment is the source of many of our problems.
The federal government has become too big to manage effectively. We must make it smaller, and the way to make it smaller is to decide what’s important, only do those things and do them well. Waste, deficits, over-regulation, and other ills will fade away.
Keep up the good work.
I think you have valid points as a whole but your unabashed support for Romney is troubling. I’m not sure how any Christian could support Romney…especially with all the stink made over religion and it’s importance in the last election. Further you have to ask how he has been influenced by his beliefs.
Having taught in NYC for “centuries” it is refreshing to hear minority woman getting into the argument. There has been a mind set that minorities vote for Democrats. I got out of that one real quick.
Keep up the good work.
You are a moron. Not sure why CNN even put’s you on their show when no one even reads your blog.
There are a few valid arguments in each of your posts but you bury them in too much reactionary, republican platitudes and drivel for people to really appreciate them. This kind of political discourse is what’s wrong with America. I hope that you don’t continue to contribute to the downfall of our political discourse in this way.
If you can believe it, I am politically ambidextrous, meaning I am able to articulate with force and conviction views covering both the left and the right sides of the political spectrum. The reason why I mention my political ambidexterity is to let you know that in part I can be apathetic, as well as objective. With that said, I would like to make a few comments on your piece. First a couple observations. I understand your political positions to be right of center, and your political opinions to be in sharp contrast to President Obama’s. Am I correct? Your blog’s name suggests that I am.
It’s clear your focus on President Obama’s record attempts to call it into question, perhaps even more, to shed light on its less than spectacular list of achievements. This is a good strategy, but I think it is too abstract. Also, whether the conservative base likes it or not, Osama bin Laden’s death occurred under the watch of President Obama. Therefore, he has secured national security bragging rights, whether he rightly deserves them or not. Also, most military veterans that I have spoken to dislike the notion of “torture” or “enhanced interrogation” since “torture” or “enhanced interrogation” could be used on them if the enemy, God forbid, captures one of them. That said, it is probably not the best idea to criticize the President’s foreign policy/national security credentials especially premised with the notion that Bush-era enhanced interrogation tactics directly resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden.
Lastly, Romney equals economy. Romney equals better economy. Romney equals “I know how to run the economy better than Obama.” Romney equals lots of money. Romney equals lots of prosperity.
The American Dream, a cultural script embedded in the psyche of every single American citizen, evokes Mit Romney. Therefore, it follows, that Mitt Romney is the American Dream. The vast majority of unemployed American citizens, who might I add, will have nothing better to do on November 6th but to vote because they will not be working, want a job, or at least, want to believe they can obtain a job. The vast majority of unemployed American citizens will favor the person who they believe will be able to provide them a job. That person is Mitt Romney.
If you really want to draw a contrast between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, it makes the most sense to associate all things prosperous to Romney, and all things stagnant to Barack Obama.
Associate Obama with an economically bankrupt Congress.
Associate Obama with an economically deflating Congress.
Associate Obama with an economically reckless Congress.
Associate Obama with the economics of dollar deflation.
Associate Obama with the economics of currency corruption.
Associate Obama with the economics of big government goods and services that are good for nothing and only serve to stifle the American economy.
Associate Obama with the economics of an American dream deferred.
The list goes on and on and on.
You’re a really good writer, and an awesome presence on television.
I hope you receive the spirit in which I am sending this message.
Peace and Blessings
I think you should continue to keep an active voice through your website and other media outlets.
To those of you who do not like Ms Wright’s views, I have one simple message: turn the channel or read a different website. No one is forcing you to follow Ms. Wright. Right?
In my view Romney represents one of the few really honorable men to run for office in a long while. Again in my view, anyone who says that he is not Christian, is showing their own bigotry, and living with a distorted view of Christian living.
I have bemoaned the fact that there are no statesmen in politics anymore. Only people with party affiliation. Will Mitt be different? Only time will tell. Time has shown us that Obama is certainly not a statesman who is trying to make a better America.
Think about America, be proud to be an American, work to bring about a better America. It’s difficult to do these things with Obama’s agenda.

Interesting note: the most recent budget met with bipartisan disapproval.
Ms. Wright you made a few insightful observations regarding the current political scene but you lose much of your creditability in the midst of your assertions.
Yes the president has many flaw as all of us do, and so does Mr Romney as we all know. And yes Rev Wright may have preached some things that many found distasteful as much Biblical truths are. But, the truth is the truth wherever it comes from or whetever the motive behind it.
I have read many of your tweets and most are steeped in anger and frustration over those who do not agree with your stance. Well, so be it if you feel what you say is unbiased truths.
I am a man who has seen and experienced much of what you allude to and I will tell you here and now, much of what we observe is not what it always appears to be.
Never be rash in arriving at a conclusion until you hear the whole of a matter.
Many profess knowledge of things they know nothing about and curse things celestial to their own damnation. Those who follow them will ultimately suffer their own humiliation.
I humbly suggest you allow the president the right to select those whom he will to baptize his children, and if God so ordained Rev. Wright to preach an unpopular sermon, so be it. Let God be God and you be content being who you are.
