Well, as most of you know the
second debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney took place tonight. And they
both came out fighting. No boxing gloves; no bare fists; no spinning jump kicks.
Only tongue lashings. Both candidates’ faces were thoroughly covered with the
other’s saliva by the end of the debate. So, who won? Well, I was totally
surprised when after the spit settled, the last man standing wasssssss… GARY
JOHNSON. Yeah, I was just as astounded as you were. How in the world could a
candidate that was not even in the debate, due to not being invited, end up
being the winner? After conducting a brief but thorough analysis, I figured it
out. Obama and Romney totally discredited each other by outing their opponents
as liars. Neither
candidate even mentioned any lies that Johnson had told. BINGO, Johnson WINS!!
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. “Who cares about a candidate that was not in the debate? Just tell me who won between the two debaters that actually debated?” I think those questions are nothing but a bunch of malarkey, but I’ll still provide sort of an answer. Both candidates are quite forceful and convincing when espousing their policies. But keep in mind that both of these guys only tell you the things that make themselves look good. They leave it up to the other guy to tell you the bad stuff. Who knows who is telling the truth? Also, they each tell us how their plan is superior to the other guy’s plan. But in the end, who can predict this? The bottom line is their records. This is a matter of fact, not opinion.
So, how have President Obama’s plans worked so far? Well, as is usually the case, some have worked okay, some not so okay. But when it comes to the thing that is most on the minds of people today—the economy—his plans haven’t fared so well. Unemployment hasn’t improved in the last four years. More people have stopped looking for work. More people are getting government assistance. Incomes are declining as prices are inclining. The debt keeps climbing while hope keeps rappelling. This is not good. To be fair, Obama says that four years was not enough time to turn the economy around and points to signs of things getting better. Well, I say this: the predictions Obama made about what the state of the economy would look like at the end of his first term did not materialize. So, it’s time to let someone else take the helm and show us how his predictions won’t come to pass either. If it’s not going to be Johnson, I guess it’s going to have to be Romney.
