Who's Next?

In a recent blog post titled, “We recommend Mitt Romney for president”, put out by The Dallas Morning News. Mitt Romney is being endorsed for president by the newspaper editors.  The author(s) of this post is addressing the people who plan on casting a ballot in the upcoming presidential election. The author(s) point out the promises that Obama has failed to fulfill and the national debt crisis, which is now at over 16 trillion dollars with Obama having added 1 trillion dollars each year while in office. Just to put into perspective, here Is a link to a diagram that shows just how much money one trillion dollars is. Obama also warned of unemployment rates as high as 8 percent without stimulus spending. Even with stimulus spending, unemployment rates have been over 8 percent for forty three consecutive months and counting. The newspaper is a credible source for information, as they have been in existence since the mid eighteen hundreds and currently hold over two hundred and fifty thousand subscribers. In the closing of this article, the author(s) also pointed out a quote from Obama himself where he said that if the economy wasn’t repaired within three years of him taking office, he would be a one term president. Romney's flaws were also pointed out in this article, but the authors then went on to say that overall Romney Is a better overall choice.  I agree with the author(s) of this article to a certain extent. I think we (as a country) need a leader that cares for the country and who actually fulfills his/her promises. Politicians make so many promises that are never fulfilled, most of which are never even acted upon.
