I believe President Obama is doing a good job of leading us out of this recession, just as FDR did during the ?Great Depression,? which I well remember as a child. That was much, much worse. Remember, President Obama inherited this mess, left to him by George W. Bush and his administration. The last good Republican president we had was Eisenhower, whom I voted for.
As good as this country has been to Mr. Romney, wouldn?t you think at least one of his five sons would want to defend his country by enlisting in a military unit? But no, I imagine they will all become CEOs or bankers of all Daddy?s offshore billion-dollar investments.
Our country has become so corrupted by our political system anymore, especially by the Southern politicians presently in Congress. As for Mr. Romney thinking he can turn the economy around ? I don?t think so. It took us a lot longer than four years to get us out of the ?Great Depression,? which is all Mr. Romney gives President Obama.
