2nd Presidential debate between Obama and Romney

2^ND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: OBAMA OR ROMNEY

It was a good debate. Although Obama has an edge over Romney in connecting with people, it was Romney who was actually connecting. Romney addressed the questioners by their names, in fact, he clarified the name one questioner, did I get that right? That was touching; Obama did catch up as an afterthought.

Neither one of them addressed Jeremy’s parent’s concern, they did not even referred to them, I was hoping they would. I am sure there was a gaping gap left with Jeremy's parents..

Romney was looking at the people where as Obama was staring at the floor, as if there was a hurdle placed in front of him, it was irritating to me, and not sure if it was for others.

Though Romney was good, he came across as a criticizer than a problem solver, where as Obama missed a few good opportunities that could have sealed him a clear victory. Obama will regain at least two points lead over Romney following this debate.

Romney’s come back on 7/11 was good, but Obama put the lid right back on it.

Romney blew it on Benghazi  he could have pushed for lack of intelligence, instead he was caught with falsity, and from that moment on, it was a downward slope for Romney. It is not just that Romney has been shooting  whatever is convenient to him, does he not think that he is watched by the same people over and over again to see and hear the different versions? He needs to stick to one version for he 2016 run. 

On the other hand, Obama could have nailed him on the immature and dangerous statement Romney made about our Embassies.Romney was clearly wrong there...

On the last question - Romney was asserting, and reasserting that he cared about 100% of Americans, clearly he did not mean it, I wish someone analyzes it, and that’s where Obama could have blown Romney away.  All Obama had to say was this, “Governor, I am glad you said that you stand for 100% of Americans here in public, but that is not what you say in private, what else have you said?”

Obama has brought stability over the four years, and Romney’s presidency will knock over that if he is elected. .

Romney has not matured in his convictions; he is in the experimentation stage, trying to see which statement will work. He has two different views, a private view that he shares with the ones who give him money, and the public view that gives the appearance of inclusiveness. How deep is either view? God only knows. I don't know which Romney I will get at the end. Even the GOP is not sure.

Obama is a sure thing; he will keep everything intact; he will not turn things upside down. Unemployment is steadily going down; Women can continue to feel secure, he will not repeal the Equal Pay Act, not repel equal insurance premiums for men and women, and will not repeal Roe v. Wade, will not do a flip on "Don't ask, don't tell", and he will keep the veterans' benefits intact… and a whole lot more.

America First - Go Obama, and not Romney for stability

HUFFINGTON POST

My fellow Republicans, let's put America first, party next. 

Romney has not matured in his convictions; he is in the experimentation stage, trying to see which statement will work. He has two different views, a private view that he shares with the ones who give him money, and the public view that gives the appearance of inclusiveness. How deep is either view? God only knows. I don't know which Romney I will get at the end. Even the GOP is not sure.

Obama is a sure thing,  he will  keep everything intact; he will not turn things upside down. Unemployment is steadily going down; Women can continue to feel secure, he will not repeal the Equal Pay Act, not repel equal insurance premiums for men and women, and will not repeal Roe v.

Americans win today

CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA

http://theghousediary.blogspot.com/2012/06/americans-win-today.html


The security and health of our nation should be our first priority. Defense of the nation and health of Americans go hand in hand.

Thank God, the Supreme Court has upheld the individual health care mandate. Indeed, the Bush appointee Judge Roberts saw the sense in doing the right thing and tilting the decision in a 5-4 ruling.  An average American wins today.

A few may not see the wisdom in it, but when they see the big picture, they will eventually admire it. A healthy America is a productive America and those opposing now will benefit from higher productivity. America is better off with this decision.

My fellow Republicans sincerely believe, and I do too, that government should not be in managing health care or messing with people’s life.  However, when they look at the situation seriously, they have short-changed themselves with mis-information. People are paying for it, and getting their service. Government ain't doing it.

Health of the nation is as much of a priority as the Defense of the nation, one protects from outside invasions, and the other from ill-health, if not guarded both weaken the nation.

With a strong defense and strong health care, Americans win. It is not a socialized medicine; it is a responsible investment in human capital with good returns. It is an investment in a health, that produces more work hours for the nation... that is what they don’t' get.

My fellow Republicans need to be in tune with America, our party has been wrong and short sighted on a few issues. I am a Moderate Sensible Republican American, and I thank the Supreme Court for upholding this decision.

To my fellow Americans at large, Democrats, Libertarian, Green and other party members, GOP is a great party, taken over by a “handful” of short-sigthed individuals  but  when they see the light at the end of the tunnel, they will see the good it does to all of us, including them or their family members and friends.  I welcome them to be in tune with America and Americans.

A majority of us, the Republican Party members are like you, modest, moderate and want the best for every American and every human across the globe. Each one of our political, religious, social, racial, ethnic and cultural groups has a share of a few loud mouths, and we need to deal with them with love and affection, they will come around.

Mike Ghouse
America first, party next.
