Most Critical Election in History

President Barack Obama has failed. Failed to do what he has promised and failed to fulfill his 2008 campaign push of change and hope. The only thing he has held true to is change. He has fundamentally changed the United States of America as he said he would. But it's not the changes we saw coming.

Bad changes:
-Passing of Socialistic Universal Health Care reform that stole 716 million dollars from Medicare for funding
-National debt has raised to 16 trillion dollars
-Unemployment rising to 8.1%
-Gas prices doubled
-46 million Americans are on food stamps
-Illegal immigration more rampant than ever
-DREAM Act was passed
-Extreme civil unrest in the Middle East
-Does not back Israel and has weakened the friendships between many allies and other world leaders
-Hundreds of thousands of top secret information has become public
-Average college tuition costs have increased
-General Motors is owned by the government
-Gay and lesbian rights are now endorsed by the Democratic Party
-Abortions will soon be government funded
-Contraception will soon be free
-There was a time period where military personnel were delayed pay checks for a while
-He has attended less than 50% of intelligence meetings over his term
-America has gone from the number one competitive country in the world to now number seven
-Religious freedoms are being taken away daily
-It is now frowned upon to speak your mind if it doesn't line up with everyone else's opinion
-Small business owners found out they didn't build their businesses
-Will raise taxes on the families that have in income of $250,000 or more. This will cause many small business owners to be unable to hire others or may even go out of business. Raising unemployment.
There are many more little things but I would keep you reading for hours.

Good changes:
-First African American as President of the United States
-Osama Bin Laden is dead
-War in Iraq is over
-His celebrity status has shot up
-The First Lady, Michelle Obama, became a good public speaker
-I have learned the need to have political awareness
-I've learned to love my country that he is destroying even more
(I'll let you know that I was able to easily rattle off negative but I've spent a long time staring at my walls to come up with these few positives.)
(I really am thinking extremely hard.)
Okay I give up!

So as you can see America is not better off than we were 4 years ago.

Now I'll address Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney

Good:
-Will preserve the institution of marriage between man and woman
-Pro-Life
-Saved the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, UT
-Was Governor of Massachusetts between 2002-2006 where he entered with a 3 billion dollar deficit but after cutting taxes, increasing fees, removing corporate tax loopholes
-Picked a cabinet based off managerial abilities rather than partisanship loyalties
-Started BainCapital which focused on venture capital opportunities
-While CEO at Bain, they started Staples Inc. and helped to restart companies that were going out of business such as: Sports Authority, Brookstone, Dominoes Pizza, Sealy Corporation, Accuride, and Artisan Entertainment. These companies were going out of business, but Bain invested money into these companies and they were able to become very successful in their markets.
-Offers an easy 5 step plan that will fix our economy and strengthen the middle class:
1. By 2020 to be energy independent by taking full advantage of coal, oil and nuclear energy that we posses.
2. Improve education and allow parents to choose the schools their children will attend.
3. Forge new trade treaties.
4. Cut deficit spending (decrease the size of the government).
5. "Champion small businesses". Allow small businesses to grow by cutting their taxes, simplifying regulations on them, and take away the penalties on them by removing and replacing Obamacare.

Bad:
-Prior to 2005 was Pro-choice and gave in to same sex marriage advocates to allow civil unions in Massachusetts but did not legalize gay marriage. But since 2005, he has had a change of heart and is now Pro-Life and supporting marriage between man and woman.
-Many question if he himself paid taxes or had off-shore bank accounts even though he has released his tax documents from the years in question
-Has a business like approach when addressing public where he can offend many people with his brutally honest assessments (in my opinion, this is what we need)

Electing Barack Obama again could cause many negative spirals in America. Foreign policy is already a very scary and risky situation and they are not going to just chill out any time soon. Also, the economy is not getting any better and these 4 years and statistics have proven that his policies have not worked. What will it be like in another 4 years after he has continued his policies? What will the unemployment numbers look like in 2016? These are scary thoughts that could become reality very soon if he is given the chance. So please look at the facts, look at the history. Romney has had success as a business man and as a Governor. Obama was a state Senator for 3 years before becoming president. That's no experience running operations and he has shown us his lack of ability to lead around the world and within our borders.

Thank you for reading.
