There is much being said in the media about how
"likeable" Barack Obama is and how Mitt Romney does not "relate
well" with people. I cannot
understand why so many people think Obama is likeable. I cannot stand to watch him on television or
even listen to his voice. He completely
turns me off! On the other hand, Mitt
Romney is growing on me. The more I
listen to him and the more I hear about him, the more I like him!
In an article entitled "Obama's Remorseless
Attacks Having Little Effect," Keith Koffler http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2012/07/19/obamas-remorseless-attacks-effect/
discussed the "weeks of vicious attacks by the Obama campaign assailing
Mitt Romney's character and making questionable charges about his stewardship
of Bain Capital" and how they have yielded nothing except a slight edge
for Romney in the latest national poll.
The article is interesting, but some of the comments were even more
interesting to me.
In the first place, the comments tended to be
more positive toward Romney than most of the comments I have read in the past
months. One commenter by the name of J
Dub submitted a sarcastic list of why people would find Romney unlikable. Other comments made by Tom and KRP added a
few other reasons. The following ideas are
attributed to them.
1. Mitt Romney is "drop-dead, collar-ad
handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura." He looks like "every central casting's
#1 choice for Commander-in-Chief."
2. Mitt Romney has "been married to ONE
woman his entire life and has been faithful to her" including while she
fought breast
cancer and multiple sclerosis.
3. Mitt Romney has "no scandals or skeletons
in his closet." If they were there,
someone would be pulling them out for the entire world to see. When an opponent has to go all the way back
to a man's high school years to find something wrong with him (maybe cutting a
classmate's hair), then we know that there is nothing there!
4. Mitt Romney speaks in the same voice and with
the same message to every group. He does
not speak in "a fake, southern, `black preacher voice' when necessary."
5. Mitt Romney is "highly intelligent and
graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School
and Harvard Business School
His "academic records
have not been sealed."
6. Mitt Romney is "a shrewd and well
organized man who knows how to organize a business/political machine. He is a MAJOR force to be reckoned with… as
[people are] beginning to find out."
7. Mitt Romney does not "smoke or drink
alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he
went to college."
8. Mitt Romney "represents an America
9. Mitt Romney "has a family of five great
sons - and none has a police record or is in drug rehab."
10. Mitt Romney made it possible for his wife Ann
to be a stay-at-home mother even during his years in school with one result
being socially well-adjusted children.
11. Mitt Romney is a member of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes called the Mormon
Church. This "religion teaches its
members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable,
self-reliant, and honest."
12. Mitt Romney made his
"money HIMSELF … as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad." He can relate to Americans because he knows
what it is like to work and pay his own way.
13. Mitt Romney "worked as an unpaid intern
while his father was governor."
14. Mitt Romney "took no salary as
Governor" of Massachusetts
15. Mitt Romney "took no salary as CEO of
the Olympics."
After comparing the above information about Mitt
Romney with what we know about Barack Obama, can you understand why the media
considers Obama as "likeable" and Romney as a man who does not
"relate well" with other?
Neither can I! Romney appears to
me to be the best man for the job of President of the United States of America
