A last look at the political arena, I promise - I think

This is the last one   --------    I think  -------  in my political posts.

First off, I thought the last debate was much more civil than the last two.  YAY!  I am a little puzzled by the fact that both men showed so much more respect to the mediator.  I just wonder if it was simply because it was a male, rather than a female.  Just a thought.  Or perhaps they realized that all the past craziness was just not accepted by the American public.

Foreign policy.  I have no idea.  I know that I don't want a war of any kind.  I don't understand all of the ins and outs of foreign affairs.  I know that the middle east is important.  I know that all of the countries that were mentioned affect us in ways that I can't comprehend.  I know that it is imperative that we show the world that we are strong.  And I know that the rest of the world looks to the United States to be leaders in every way!   Because I don't have a clear understanding, I can't comment on who has the better handle on things.  What I can say is that I was in awe at just how many things and issues are thrown at the president of the United States in that area.

I honestly, with everything that I am, want to see Governor Mitt Romney become the next President of the United States.  I want to see a leader in business help us to get out of the economic mess we are in.      There are so many things involved in that.  I think he has proved himself professionally. Being successful and wealthy should not be something to be feared. It should be something to be admired.  Not only professionally is he second to none, but I believe that his personal life is one to be recognized.  You don't have to agree with his religious beliefs.  In fact, I would be willing to guess that the majority of the American public does not even know what he really believes.  But, look at his moral strengths.  He believes in the family.  He and his family worship God.  They believe in service to their fellow man.  There has never been a question about his past in those areas.  His allegiance has not been questioned!

This is what I wonder and would like you to think about.  Why would a man like Mitt Romney want to be the president in the first place?  What in the world would he get out of it?  It isn't financial gain.  He may have a lifelong six figure paycheck as a president or past-president, but he doesn't need it.  Shoot, he gave up a lot of money in earnings by leaving Bain to campaign. You can just look that up through a google search.  You can also look up the amount of his own personal money he spent on both campaigns.  Why would he do it once, yet alone twice?

I have two theories on this.

One, he is an egomaniac who sees himself as someone who already succeeded in the challenges he had before him.  He is already multizillionaire!  He already turned a hurting Olympics into a success that was seen by the entire world.  Now he is out to prove that through his leadership, he can turn an economy in the worst weakened condition that anyone who didn't live through the great depression has ever seen.

                                                                      OR

Two, he honestly believes in the future of America and is concerned for the future of his children and grandchildren.  He feels that he has had success and truly believes that his ideas can make a difference for his posterity as well as ours.

Either way, it could be a win for all of us!

I have to disbelieve most of what I hear about President Obama.  I do not believe he is a socialist, communist, terrorist, etc.  I do not believe that the United States of American will be in ruin if he is reelected.  I have to believe that we have enough safeguards in place to prevent that.   BUT, I do believe that it is time for things to look up!  We have to do better as a country!  We have to be better!  I have children and grandchildren.  I worry about what kind of situation they will encounter down the road.

I do not believe my little blogs have changed the minds of Americans.  I probably haven't even convinced a single Democrat or Obama supporter to change their vote.  My real objective was to perhaps give one or two people something to think about, something to investigate.

Some people who have commented to me have questioned the Bible, questioned the Godhead, etc.  I have always been strong in my religious beliefs.  I believe in a living and loving God and I will continue to pray for this country and its leadership - whoever that may be.

Thanks for reading!
