Who’s Right and Who’s Wrong

As I wrote in my blog on global warming, someone is right and someone is wrong.  On Monday night during the third presidential debate, President Obama and Governor Romney will try to convince American voters who’s right and who’s wrong.

Obviously, each candidate believes he is the right choice to lead America for the next four years.  With clearly defined opposing views and polls showing that Americans are basically evenly divided – there is no middle ground.  Half of Americans are right so consequently half are wrong.

If Romney had been elected president four years ago instead of Obama, would his decision to “let Detroit go bankrupt” been the right decision?  Would Americans be better off today that they were four years ago?  If Obama is not reelected, will America regret it fours years from now?  Governor Romney is making  his bid for change.  How different is his bid for change today than President Obama’s bid was four years ago?

Economists run data and provide charts to illustrate probabilities.  Political analysts dissect words while experts predict truthful motivation by analyzing body language.  But all in all, it seems that only time will tell.

Did President Bush set out in his first year to do all the things that have defined his presidency?  Since  time is the factor in assessing the results of a president’s cumulative decision-making, it seems that a strong indicator for choice should be character.

During the third debate,  Americans should do more observing than listening.  Haven’t we really heard it all by now?  At this point in the campaign, each candidate should be exhausted.  Who will show it?  Will tempers flare?  Who will appear as a leader of the free world and who will provocatively appear condescending.  Inasmuch as the third debate will focus on foreign affairs, who will provide the best “presidential look” for our allies and adversaries?  Remember the truth in the familiar saying – a picture is worth a thousand words.

Romney’s First Day as President – Monologue

I can’t believe that I won.  My first day in the oval office.  What should I do first?  Let’s see, oh yes, my number one campaign promise. (Shouts out window) ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE WITHOUT JOBS, GET UP!  I DON’T HAVE A JOB FOR YOU YET, THAT’S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME, BUT GET UP, GET DRESSED, PRETEND THAT YOU HAVE A JOB TO GO TO.  There, my first presidential order.  Okay, what should I do now?  Oh yes, fire Big Bird.  I’ll let Paul do that.  After breakfast I’m going to clean up the mess that Obama created.  I know that his heart was in the right place but he just didn’t know what he was doing.  Do I know what I’m doing?  Look how lay back he was at the first debate.  He should have asked me about that 47 percent thing.  Probably thought that I had a good comeback so he didn’t want to give me the opportunity.  Ha, I had nada!!!  Anyway, I’ll run the country like a business.  That’s what I do, that’s my thing.  People always say, do your thing!  I’ve said it before, I don’t mind firing people so all you lazy people out there who can’t get on board, well, steer that ship overseas.  No, I can’t say that.  That’s almost 47 percent of the population.  That might take care of the budget, though.  They’re takers, not contributors, so no tax revenue lost.  Let some other country deal with all the poor, I mean, disadvantaged folks.  Hey, I’m alone, I can say poor if I want to.  I hope this place isn’t bugged.  I’m hungry.  I wish someone would bring me my presidential breakfast, coffee at least.  Where’s that room service number.  I’ll fire whoever was supposed to bring me my breakfast.  There, already created one new job!

Ah, a mirror!  Let’s see how presidential I look early in the morning.  I’ve got that little smirk down pretty well.  Not too smirky, keep it sincere.  And my sad puppy eyes seem to draw people in, although Ann can’t stand it.  I’ve got to stop blinking so much but I can’t help it when I’m nervous.

Look out world, I’m at the helm now!  I’ll fix America’s image.  Russia, China, take notice.  I’m not going to put up with your shenanigans!  I’m tough.  I’ll take on the entire world if I have to, uh, I shouldn’t say that, I might have to.  Anyway, I’m not afraid of anyone.  As Bush used to say, “Bring it on!”

Ooh, someone’s at the door.  Maybe someone has finally brought my presidential breakfast.  (Opens door) Big Bird!  How did you get in here?
