Political Showdown or Forfeit?

Hey Everyone,

Its another Wednesday and so of course i have to give my take on the next thing that i found interesting. Now i am no political analyst and i am definitely not a CNN Correspondent but i watched the Presidential debate last week and i have to say that i was in fact disappointed. Hands down Mitt Romney won that debate and that's not an easy thing for me to say but it appeared to be true.

Lets get something clear though. Mitt Romney didn't win the debate because he gave profound insight on the American problems and how to fix it He won the debate based on his performance, his ability to go out there and have all eyes on him. All eyes weren't looking at the important things but that wasn't relevant, just as long as they were looking.

To start lets look at where President Obama went wrong. He went to the debate and performed the role as President of the United states of America. Don't get me wrong he had every right to after all he is the president. But lets get real here people, he needed to remember that he is not only the President of the United states but he is also fighting to remain that way. What was missing from the debate was the fight. He left his boxing gloves back home and came to a fight with just his fists and got knocked the hell out. He failed to take advantage of the numerous opportunities that Romney gave him to make the huge holes in his claims big enough to fit the Grand Canyon. He did not mention, the most damaging video of Romney discriminating and discarding a huge chunk of the American population as being irrelevant then had the nerve to be at the debate attempting to speak for the people. I wont even bother to get into the others because this could go on all night.

With that said lets give credit where credit is due, President Obama Handled himself very diplomatic and he addressed the questions very well. He spoke to the specifics about his plan and that's just it, you can tell he has a plan.

Lets get to Romney. He certainly did put on a show. It was the biggest level of hypocritical display that i had seen in awhile so much so that all i could see on his face were the words "liar and Fake". What he managed to do was get the attention of the people. He did his homework on President Obama's strategy and plans so much so that he was able to confidently stand there and just question everything the President said. I give him credit for that. The attitude and persona that he projected, that aggressiveness worked well as a smoke screen to distract the viewers from realizing that he really has nothing to say about his plans because he doesn't have one. For someone to stand there that night and manage to convince them self and the ignorance of the people following him that stating what someone shouldn't do and what you plan to cut or remove is not an action plan to make things better. He has yet to give the specifics of how he plans to accomplish half of the false promises that hes been offloading.

There is a saying "Mouth make to say anything it damn well want to say" this is in reference to Romney. I have come to the realization that Romney is a flake, a flip flop. He flips as often as a light switch. For the past 18 months he has been campaigning with a specific agenda and now in the last few weeks leading up to the election suddenly everything has changed. Are people to believe that somehow he had an awakening, a revelation as to what needs to be done, what is right, that he needs to care about all people, not just the people who can fund his campaign? I don't think so. What he started to smell was the failure and realizing that he'd been consistently slipping in the mess that he made by the the rubbish that spills out of his mouth. This was just a last ditch effort to change his image. Ask yourself this people, if he flipped just now, who is to say that he wont flip if he's to become president. I say how do you trust that?

To wrap things up it will most definitely be interesting to see if the democrats can start to save face and regain their position starting with the VP debate tomorrow. Romney was successful in getting people to think that maybe hes not stupid and has some sense after all. He just challenged the president and held his ground. People are now saying,"I need to start paying closer attention to this Romney". But guess what Romney, all eyes are on you and now people will get a closer look that all words and a lack of know how will not go far.

All things said and done, this is politics and hey people do crazy things and things don't go the way they should. Whatever happens will be another persons mess to try and fix and only the people truly feel the pain of the decisions made that affects their day to day life, their future.

All i have to say is.....May the best man for the job win.....

That's my take on what happened. See it my way or not, doesn't change a damn thing. Until next time....
