I would say on a personality basis--that President Obama walks away with stylish points. Romney was forced back into what he is--a smug obnoxious disingenuous man and sooner or later--true colors come out. That being said--I do not believe that Obama has done a great job as CEO of our nation---not a bad job--but when he was able to spend more money(borrowed) than any other President to stimulate our economy --he did NOT do enough in these areas.
A. He did not use the money to stimulatejb growth anywhere near enough relative to what he had to spend
B. Regulations on mortgages housing and personal borrowing have thwarted buying--especially from first time buyers, selling of homes for a price consistent with what the national 10 year avg of homes cost(below)the ability for a person to get a personal loan to start or run a small business(entrepreneurship and job creation)or to grow a small business
C. I do not believe as an African American President that he used his position wisely to help African-American/Hispanic neighborhoods in inner cities schools housing and job creation with stimulus money he was afforded
D. Gas prices are way out of whack and not sustainable
E. Condition the release of handouts--way to many people receiving freebies who CAN work who have the ability to work but have found free is better than earned--these benefits need expiration dates for those who are not sickly injured under the age of 45 etc..
F. Has let the deficit gain traction with no definitive plan to stops its massive growth
I could go on here but I am tired:) There are plenty of things he has done right to be fair and balanced and he took one helluva mess. But I think the USA is in need of a turn around expert and that is what Romney did for a living. Im scared that the US is going to be covered in such a debt that it could cause a dozen maybe 15-20 years of stagnation and for me to cast a vote for Obama this time--he'd better explain to mw what his turn around plan is. And to those who vote and are happy with a stylistic victory--please ask yourself those questions.
