Are we there yet?

Are we there yet? Is the question children ask there parents when the drive in the car gets a little too long. It's also the same question we, as citizens of the United States of America, should be asking the current Administration. But, we already know the answer "Just a little further." Well how much is a little? I firmly believe that our current Administration is doing a good job, at helping fix America, with what they have to work with. Understanding that they didn't cause the "Low Economy" they are working to fix it is a fact that we fail to see. I have rephrased my evaluation into a story. I want you to keep an open mind to what you are about to read. It explains why I think we are in good hands.
          America was an addict, one that was addicted to the fast, carefree, and wild life. America would party all night long and sleep all day. She would take what she wanted from the people who loved and adored her, and give little to nothing, or just enough back to keep people loving her. She knew how to present herself to make men want her, and her children adore her. And the people who wanted to keep her, fought for her. America continued to bleed her loved ones dry. Even the men who married her (the presidents) began to be seduced by her greed. They gave her the drugs she wanted without a second thought. Finally, with all of the different poisons running through her veins, she overdosed. And then her children realized that she needed to be put in rehab and fast, or they could end up losing the mother they loved so much. After her many divorces to faithful, she met a new man. We, as her children, didn't think he was right for our mother. We didn't think he could give her what she needed to become better. But, we allowed him the marry our strung-out, addict mother. Right now Mother America is in rehab, and our Administration is dealing with her crazy ass. Although it's hard for us to see our once glorious mother, beat up and suffering, it looks like she is getting better, she is slowly returning to the respectable woman she once was. Of course it's not easy for a man to change the seeded ways of a woman who has been an addict for years, and her children who are afraid to believe in him. He takes into consideration the past pains we've dealt with and so far he's kept a lot of promises that he's made (188 of them to be exact). And she may relapse, as most addicts do, but I know that the current Administration can handle it.

And you're Out!

During the presidential debates the commentators are there to ask questions, keep the candidates within their allotted speaking time, and keep the peace. But, what happens when the commentator steps outside the lines of his or her duties. In this day and age of political warfare we look to other non-candidate parties to keep the battles fair and honest. The presidential debates are aimed towards parties to keep their already decided voters, and to get the vote of undecided voters. After the second presidential debate Fox news took to the stands to criticize Candy Crowley, for her "Team Obama" act during the debate. They claim that she sided with the Democratic party allowing for Obama to gain favor during the debate. In this claim they go as far as saying she help give Obama a life line, and blocked the progression of the Republican party. Fox also show the total amount of talking time each candidate received. Obama total talking time was 44 minutes and 4 seconds and Romney's was 40 minutes and 50 seconds. i watched the debate and can't help to disagree with Fox on this one. During the debate Candy was very fair to both Obama and Romney. She stopped President Obama from interrupting Governor Romney on several occasions, and attempted to keep the debate moving forward. As far as the whole "Taking Obama's side in the debate" I believe commentators should be required to keep both parties honest. They should be allowed to correct a statement that was falsely presented. I see nothing wrong in doing this. Allowing for that to happen showed that even though candidates may seem to get things right, they can also get things wrong. They are trying to sell Americans a product, that "product" being themselves. And as the "buyers" we need to make sure that their warning labels are correct, and that they have all the possible side effects listed.  To view the full report that Fox published, please visit the link below.

Romney new life, Not so

In this article it states that after the presidential debate took place Romney seemed to gain the upper hand. I entirely DISAGREE. I think this writer is pro-Romney and wanted to help shift the outlook in his favor to the republicans. After reading the article I think the author's credibility is non-existent. I watched the debate and at first, I went in with a clear mind. Although I did not vote last year I fully intend to do so this year, so I want to be informed on both parties and where they stand. After watching the debate I am so pro-Obama it's not even funny. The main factor for throwing my vote to his side was the fact that Romney's "Tax plan" was full of s!@#. Seriously. On one hand he said he'd cut taxes by 20% and on the other hand he said he wouldn't cut taxes if it were to drop revenues. Listen to what is being said people. Look at the facts if he were to cut taxes by that much revenues WILL fall, there is no question about that. So what did he say he would NOT do if it dropped revenues? He is not a decisive leader, and it seems he doesn't have an original thought running through that head of his. And did we forget the "legitimate rape" issue. Come on! I definitely don't want a man like that as my president. I decided to see just how President Obama fared on the issues he promised to fix so I went to Obama's Kept Promises and saw that he has kept over 180 of his promises way more than the one before him, yet people only want to focus on ObamaCare, and what he hasn't been able to do. The article from the debate, which this blog is about can be viewed here Debate gives Romney new life on USA Today. After researching Romney even more I believe that other parties want so badly to get rid of President Obama that they rushed and picked an extremely unqualified guy to go up against him. The republicans wouldn't even work with Obama to help solve our issues after he became president, when he tried to unite the parties. Why would I EVER vote for a petty party like that.
