Thank God that Obama is the president

Today we saw a clear comparison of the choices we'll have for the election of next November. On a one hand we hand an empty suit endorsing another empty suit in Las Vegas, Donald Trump, who in the past had ridiculed and belittled Mitt Romney, was endorsing him today. Now let us look at the other side, Obama was today at a breakfast in Washington recalling his experience when his family and he met Billy Graham at the evangelist’s house in North Carolina, and that after Mr. Graham praying for him he felt the desire to praying for this great man, but that he couldn't find the words. He also spoke about the poor and the urge for taking care of them, and how the bible talks about that. We know that Romney has been saying that he does not care for the poor, nor does he care for the wealthy, this last one being a farce, and that he cares for the middle class. We know that he cares for the middle class because he is willing to pay his “fair” share of taxes, less than 15% while the most of the middle class pays between 35, and because he hides his money in Luxembourg and the Cayman Islands. If we pay attention to his speeches we know that he believes that corporations are people, and that he wants to reduce taxes even more for the top 1% of the income earners, the club he belongs to, that he says that he has felt many times that he was at risk of getting a pink slip, and that he is also unemployed. I don't know many people who file taxes showing an income of $20 million a year, and brag about being unemployed.
Romney should be ashamed of himself.
After a day like this I am glad that Obama is the president, and hopefully, comes November he will be re-elected.
If the opposite is the case this country will need all the help in the world. We can still remember what happened the last time a Republican was in office with George W. Bush, the U.S. was attacked on 09/11 because he was asleep at the helm, we got ourselves into an unnecessary war in Iraq, and to put the last nail in the coffin we had the greatest financial collapse since the Great Depression. A great resume to brag about.
