Can Mitt Romney transform America?

January 19, 2012

Former Governor Mitt Romney claims he’s going to give it one, last ditch effort to try and save America. Mitt has made a claim that he’s willing to be a one-term President if it means overturning everything that’s been done the last twelve years—particularly the last four.

Personally, I’m a little tired of hearing Romney say he’s going to overturn Obamacare. It’s probably why I would not make a great politician, a musician, or an ad man. I loathe repetition. I can’t stand it, but I do know that if you want a human being to know your message, you have to repeat it over and over and over again, until it sinks home. Congressman Michele Bachman’s warning also doesn’t sit well with me when I hear Romney simply state that he will overturn this effort to transform America into a socialist country. Her warning is that this mammoth piece of legislation, we call Obamacare, cannot be overturned in the manner Romney is suggesting. She warned that by the time a Republican takes the seat, parts of Obamacare will be so entrenched that it will have to be fought line by line. Her point was that no one had the temerity, or the knowhow, to do what needed to be done to fight the leviathan. Her point was that only a legislator that knows the minutiae of legislation could successfully weed out the damage that Obamacare promises to do to this country.

Obama vs. Reagan

September 23, 2010

In the closing days of his tenure as president, Reagan was asked what he would like his legacy to be. He said: “I would like to be known as the president that gave the government back to the people.”

What would Obama say if he were faced with the same question Reagan faced in his final days, regarding his legacy? Would he say: “I would like to be known as the president who took the government back from the people.”?
