Lambrini Argenas
President Obama and Governor Romney
clearly have conflicting ideas regarding the direction of our country. Romney
strongly disagrees with almost all of Obama’s plans and ideas. He constantly
stresses the importance of the free market. Romney feels that businesses are
better among less government regulations. He implies that business should rely
on the excellence of our people and states, not by the federal government. At times, however, it is difficult to
determine Romney’s authenticity. He seems to be more concerned with “saying the
right thing” and saying what the American people want to hear with terms like “more
jobs” and “tax cuts,” rather than formulating legitimate plans with substance.
In contrast,
Obama seems to be more precise and substantial within his plans since he also
provides examples. I strongly agree with his plan to pay doctors based on
performance rather than the amount of times they are seen. This increase of regulation among the medical
system will highly limit, if not put an end to medical fraud, and we the people
will finally stop getting “jerked around” as the president put it. However, that is not to say that he too was
not flawed. I often find it difficult to understand Obama as he seems to beat
around the bush at times.
I honestly don’t know what to make of this debate. Both
bring up good points and ideas. My concern is who is ACTUALLY going to make the
difference and do something about our country’s current situation. As far as I’m
concerned we haven’t made much progress with Obama, and Romney seems to bring
up points without validation, along with his many contradictions.
Really thoughtful response Lambrini--you are right that Romney is selling himself as businessman who believes things should be done locally not federally--and there was a sound bite style to his performance--your conclusion that it is still hard to understand who will make a difference is right on point!
