Beware of the Snare

I believe that the new dirty attack from the Obama camp against Romney shows how desperate they are. Do they think that the American voters are stupid and that they don’t see that they are trying to divert their attention from the economy, the unemployment, the bad housing market, the enormous debt, and not to forget the new rules and executive orders  imposed silently on the American people, etc., etc.? If his administration pretends to be so good, they should show it to the American people who are unemployed and suffering. Where are the elegance, the honesty, the transparency and the progress our president had promised?

As for Senator Harry Reed who accused Romney for not paying his taxes for the last ten years, he should have first asked where Obama’s school documents are and why he is hiding them, if they are so good. I learned from my father during WWII, when he was in the French army and they gave him a riffle without the bullets to protect the ammunition depot. Those who gave him the order were in fact traitors. The attitude of the French people at that time was similar to what we see now here; they were hypnotized. I saw where those dreams of wanting to change the world have led us, to a disaster, where millions of people lost their lives and ruins were everywhere. I am asking my fellow Americans, do we need another utopist dream, another disaster? We do not need fantasy or leaders without experience. We need honesty which can elevate the entire humanity, without false dreams, lies, and deception. Only this way will the world trust us again.

Mr. President, be fair and don’t listen to those who try to win this election for you with lies, tricks and voter fraud! My generation understands where they want to lead us; we passed this already. Americans should be proud of their president and not the opposite! Is this the way we want to teach the new generation? By insisting that every woman should have the government pay for her nine dollar contraceptive is maybe good now to avoid abortions, but what about the long-term health consequences for the users? Have you thought about this? Who should they sue for health damages down the road? What about the young girls, do they have to learn the wrong way, instead of abstinence and honesty?

In three and a half years you were not able to show us how to create jobs for the millions of people who trusted you! Is this the reason why you prefer to talk about everything else?

Mr. President, the man who wrote these lines came to the United State forty years ago to enjoy the freedom and the liberty known to the entire world. Do you want to change this way of life and maybe copy the Russians or the Chinese, whose dream was to copy us? I am not for any particular candidate but we reached the point where any change would be better than what we have now.

Many people are unwittingly helping Obama to win another term by listening to his rhetoric and repeating the errors of the past. Those who are trying to convince our elders in the retirement homes and the nursing homes to vote for Obama are taking a huge responsibility upon themselves. If I were to advise President Obama, I would tell him to stop any negative attacks and if I were to advise Governor Romney, I would say he should not listen to these vicious attacks, as they will return against those who launched them. He should stay on a positive campaign path, which will honor the United States.
