ROMNEY’S RISE IN POLLS A SIGN OF UNINFORMED VOTER FRUSTRATION
Obama is the Only Intelligent Choice!
By Rick Grant Commentary
Here in Florida, Mitt Romney’s attack ads are running without rebuttals from the Obama camp. What the hell is Obama thinking? Recently, democratic strategist, James Carville wrote an article denouncing Obama’s campaign staff as incompetent. He suggested Obama fire the entire team.
Whatever the problem, Obama must correct it and start blasting Romney as a job destroying corporate raider-- an elitist silver-spoon rich guy who could care less about the millions of people still out of work and suffering. Sure, Obama made mistakes, like spending two years crafting the Health Care Bill. Nevertheless, voting in Romney as the alternative to Obama is unthinkable.
Obama’s problem is the millions of uninformed people who falsely think that he has not done enough to get the economy moving and the he is responsible for the abysmal job market. Indeed, this is a fool’s perception. I believe President Obama has done the best he can to correct the monumental mess that Bush left for him to clean up. Still, he needs to shake up his campaign staff. They need to start touting his accomplishments and reminding people of Romney’s nefarious past.
Here’s the reason that Romney’s poll numbers are going up.. The vast numbers of registered voters have the collective intelligence of a sea slug when it comes to understanding how our government works. They tend to blame the incumbent Prez for the dismal economy and the price of gasoline. Savvy people know that gasoline is a commodity and is traded like stock. The President has absolutely nothing to do with the caprices of the gasoline markets.
The low attention span of the average American voter and their lack of interest in history causes them to forget the terrible legacy left by past Republican administrations, starting with Reagan. Oh yeah, to fanatical GOP zealots, Reagan was a prophet. But his so called "trickle down economy" only lined the pockets of the rich and never made it down to the middle class. The two terms of W. Bush cost us trillions in an unnecessary war with Iraq and other colossal blunders.
Still the vast majority of Americans go about their day to day business blissfully unaware of the Republicans’ sinister machinations. These self-absorbed curs never watch the news or read a newspaper. They just exist in a fog of ignorance and false hope.
What’s worse is, the black population may stay home because the black preachers are upset about President Obama’s recent opinion, approving of gay marriage. These church going blacks harbor very conservative views on gays and especially gay marriage. Obama needs to address the concerns of his own black voting block who helped elect him for his first term. Some blacks voted for the first time to elect the first black president. Yes, Obama clenched the gay vote. But he may lose the black vote.
For me it’s too depressing to contemplate that blacks would stay home just because some ignorant black preacher said that’s what they should do. Romney is no advocate for black prosperity. If fact, he probably never knew a black person in his life, nor does he give a damn about their plight.
It’s imperative that we reelect President Obama for a multitude of important reasons. Voting for Romney is not the answer to our nationwide problems. Wake up America and smell the stink of Republicans’ devious intentions of making the rich richer and creating a whole new poor class.
