Obama Knows Who Loves Him Most

President Obama recently commented during an interview that he wanted to be at home at 6:30 in the evening with his family and I get it. If the the people that elected you once idolized you and their minds are changing it makes perfect sense that one would retreat back to the ones that have to love him. My family thinks I'm pretty great too but they also understand when work requires a little more and my work only affects them not their friends and families!

Network Convention Cams Selective Recording

I think it is safe to say that in situations where large groups of people are gathered it's not uncommon to find a few troublemakers in the crowd and I would never suggest that this is appropriate but it does seem to be the norm especially in a society filled with so many ignorant people. It was my intention to ignore the story about the camera person who had peanuts thrown at them and some sort of feeding the animal comment but the more I read reports of the incident the more I am puzzled at why a professional camera person did not have footage. I find it a bit troubling that this would be a news story that involved a professional camera person while doing their job without the footage (not even spectator cell phone footage). Since I know there is usually more than one side to a story, I just don't get it! This story has gotten more attention than the journalists that were beaten at a red light in Norfolk, Virginia recently and that case included some debate but this case involved a camera person with no footage and some idiots. Why is this such a big story while others are ignored?

Romney And Obama With Number 2 Pencils

One convention down, one more to go! Am I better off than I was 4 years ago? Absolutely not, I have a great big headache from listening to all the garbage related to campaigns. Most recently, I just finished watching an interview with David Axelrod who had plenty to say but did it without answering a single question. This is becoming the norm as I watch more and more of these suits on television talking up their candidates and the candidates themselves. I think this automatically puts Romney at a disadvantage because in presidential elections it could be argued that the best talker wins, if I justify the need for likeability numbers. Now here is a problem I think I can solve! If the election results in the best talker winning lets stop voting. Sounds crazy but I might have a solution for choosing the best man/woman for the job. Instead of a vote, we can have the parties select an equal amount of questions to be placed on a test to be taken by the chosen candidates. This eliminates the need for all the money spending, headache inducing campaigning and we put the smartest of the candidates in office. No president will ever satisfy all Americans but in a situation like this all Americans can feel like one was smarter than the other and this is the person in office.

Romney Thinks Solutions

I've seen several stories online that suggest Mitt Romney is a bit foolish asking where the water came from while visiting Louisiana. It seems with the options of rain, rivers, and ocean that this is a perfectly good question from someone that might be considering or thinking about solutions to a recurring problem in the region. Why wouldn't someone who cared ask questions related to issues and solutions? I'm offended that I've read a story on this topic more than once and this suggests that some might be completely ignorant to how problems are solved or feel the need to promote stupidity. I hope the most recent presidency has not dumbed down some Americans to the point where we don't solve problems and we only maintain them or make them worse.
