I put my money on Mitt


We are clueless when it comes to identifying our enemies.

We continue to spread our will throughout the world on people who want no part of it, only our money. Riots, mayhem, murder and wars are being fought and demonstrations against us recently  spread to thirty countries. Our Treasury is in jeopardy with every man, woman and child in this country now owing over $50,000 towards the national debt, a debt that is growing every second, soon to be at a level of non-recovery. And all we citizens want is to have a job, support our families, worship the way we choose and have a nice life.

The Census Bureau reported that about 46.2 million people lived in poverty last year, nearly one in every six Americans, approximately the same as the prior year's record levels even though wages have fallen. There were 3 million more people living in poverty in year 2011 than in 2009. Household income is down by 8% since Obama took office. Adjusted income for families is now 20% lower than it was in 1995.

Unemployment numbers just dropped and the Democrats are capitalizing on the new figure. They jump for joy over .03 of a percentage point even though 12.1 million Americans remain out of work which is nearly twice that if those who are underemployed or have stopped looking for jobs are included. Obama said on Thursday that he now will create 1 million manufacturing jobs with hundreds of thousands in the green energy business. We've already seen over the past four years how that worked out--think Solyndra.

We need to protect our friends like Israel but at what point do we back off promoting our influence in the world? At what point do we listen? At what point do we say, "Enough is enough." At what point do we start taking care of our own country first? Why are we still in Afghanistan? At what point to we get out of protecting countries that just use our money against us?

Can any political Party or its candidate have the right stuff to get us back on track? Obama has been a total failure. Romney says he can. After the debate, I would put  my money on Mitt.
