Seriously, how can a major party candidate—the Republican nominee for President—bring Big Bird into the fray of politics and the media and the public did not laugh him off stage. Really, Big Bird will save the U.S. from economic disaster, a disaster cause by a previous Republican President, and a disaster the current President is correcting, albeit slowly. With high employment numbers, a major ongoing war, high gas price and a slew of other problems and Romney propose getting rid of Big Bird as his solution … and again the pundits wonder why Obama lost the debate.

How can an astute person like Obama debate Romney when lies, Big Bird, flip flops, are the norms? Right after the debates, the spinners and fact checkers all pointed to these Romney’s lies. But, the following morning the headlines were about Big Bird. If you honestly think about it, the use of Big Bird was a ploy by Romney and his team. Remember, before the debates Romney signal that he will not allow the President to be untruthful during the debates. There was no evidence that the President was going to be deceitful, but Romney put that claim out there. Was he signaling to us that he was prepared to lie? I do believe so. And, in my view that why Big Bird became a part of the debate, Big Bird was a decoy to keep our mind occupied and off the dishonesty of Romney and his team.

Romney is at it big time. Even before the Republican primary, he and every single Republicans clobbered President Obama over ObamaCare. Statements after statements about how he is going to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Now, guest what...he is for ObamaCare. Ok, he did not say he is for all of it, but he has soften his stance. He now claimed that he will only repeal the part of the bill he does not like and he will keep some part of it. I am not surprise of this switch because we all know Mr. Romney has no core. Issues after issues, he flip once he knew the opinion of the public. I will only post the link of the article, that way everyone can read it and interrupt it for themselves. The link is from the huffingtonpost: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/....

While, I do like leaders who are smart and flexible enough to evolve with the issues, I do not want leaders who panders for vote. We have seen President Obama evolve on issues but most of the time, his evolution is bring to populace with him on the issues. Healthcare and Gay Rights are two such issues. First, Gay Rights, his evolution was slow, but he did it when it was not popular and when he did the nation follows. Second, on healthcare, he got it passed even though many opposed and others (supporters) were angry because he did not go far enough. However, he rode out the storm and as people began to realize that even though the healthcare bill may not be perfect, it is still better than nothing; furthermore, the foundation is set for future modification to the law. He achieve many more things, but I highlighted these two to show a leader who is willing to lead. Romney on the other hand...well you decide. We all know where he stand.

I think the media and many others are missing the point of Romney solution to illegal immigration. When ask what would he to solve this problem? He replied, "...[illegal immigrant will self deport once he is President because they (the illegal immigrant) will go back to their country because they will realized life in their country is better]." Maybe, Romney is trying to tell us (the American citizens) something. Is he saying, that once he is President, life here will be unbearable? Everyone knows immigrants come to America because of prosperity...the chance to make their life better. And Romney is right, under his leadership, America will not have illegal problem....he plans to drive this country to the ground.
