Thoughts on Mitt Romney ?

[Advantage-ME]

Romney is at the mercy of big corporate money and individuals who agreed to back him only after all the other Republicans whom they preferred had negative information about their past or made negative comments during the primaries. I do not trust Romney because he clearly followed Obama's path with his own healthcare, pro-choice, and gun control while he was governor of Massachusetts. Now that he is running for President he denied he was ever for any of the convictions he stood for not long ago.

He's not a man; he's a commercial.

The debt growth while he was governor was during different economic times. There has been a worldwide economic crisis since 2008. Unemployment with our European allies hovers at 20-25%. There are parents who are giving up their children to orphanages because they can no longer afford to care for them. We are fortunate that our economy is somewhat stable in these dire times. We are now at 8.1%. When Reagan was President, his unemployment figures always hovered between 7.1% and 7.4%.

I also feel Romney will endanger our foreign policies. He travelled to Europe and to Israel this summer and was able to infuriate one of our biggest allies and made a comment about Jewish people that was both rude to the Jewish people and to their Arab neighbors. He has stated that he is ready to go to war - but to what avail. Obama saved our troops from Libya and Syria - not one American life was lost but we are getting the results there that we need.

I am voting for the best candidate: President Obama.
