Change of Leaders
Sun, 09/16/2012 - 14:42 — RSchiffmanWith the mounting economic and global issues facing America it is time for a change in leadership. Obama has proven time and again that he is a divider, not of uniter of Americans. Throwing blame at everyone but his own failed policies and his inability to work across the aisle, his cowtowing to the Muslim world at Israel's expense is not the president America needs. How much longer will he before Iran is a proven nuclear threat. As for our domestic issues, all Obama and the Democrats do is throw more money at the problem . Obama has an entitlement attitude, being paid for by the middle class.
Mitt Romney has a proven record of working with Democrats when governor of Mass. He has a proven record of business success and has the knowledge base to right our sinking economic ship. And, very importanty, he has made it very clear he will stick by our ally Israel and stand in the way of Iran's nuclear ambition.
In the upcoming election we, as Americans, have an imporant decision to make. Continue with 4 more years of absent leadership, global mistakes and the my way or no way atitude that Obama brings to the country, or elect a man who has shown he can work across the aisle for the good of his state while governor and has the knowledge and leadership skills to strengthen our economy, and will stand by our allies against terrorist regimes. For the good of America and the world, vote for Mitt Romney this November.
