Post Mortem on first Debate

Even though many people want to say Mitt Romney made a better impression because he looked fresher than President Obama, that alone should give President Obama the winning edge. Mitt is not carrying a precarious country on his shoulders, he has every right to be upbeat. He is travelling light. President Obama on the other hand, while criss-crossing the country, trying to explain to the American people what his plans are in crystal clear language, keeping Americans safe in the face of looming war, and  taking care of his own family at the same time, he is in the race for an election. How much can a man take and still be upbeat.
However, the President is youthful and athletic, there's nothing that a good night sleep would not cure.
In fact, I believe that the President won that debate. I believe he was deliberately low key, he did not want to put frills on something that is so important to poor people, old people and people with pre-existing conditions. He wanted to make sure that they heard what he said above the hype. I think I got a better understanding of how important Obamacare is for the middle-class and poor people, sick people. The rich don't care - they have enough money to order plastic surgeries for their dogs, to send their pets to pet hotels, what do they care, what do Mitt Romney care.

Even though Mitt Romney want to fool poor and middle class people he cares for them here his proposal for schools.  He said that people should be able to send their children to the better schools. If you live in a poor area and the school is bad, how could you afford to send your child outside his neighbourhood. Mitt just do not get it. He just does not understand the lives of ordinary people because he is fortunate to have money.  We do not need a president who only seeks to enrich the rich and hope that that money will trickle down to the poor. What does trickle down is just that - a trickle.

I am going to return to the debate again but for now, don't let Mitt Romney deceive you people, give Obama another year, you know what you are getting, you know where you are going. Change course now and America goes underground.

Give President Obama another term he deserves it, he has worked for him, he is an honest man.
