"Move B****... Get out the way..."


That title is okay because i put it in quotes right? Ha. 
Human Events published an article that struck my fancy. Although not a direct suggested source, it streams to the front page of Red State. It's titled "OBAMA’S PANDERING TO WOMEN FALLS SHORT."Author Audrey Hudson accuses Obama of preaching for women equality in the workplace but has failed to clean up his own backyard. As President, i feel you should set the bar high for the rest of the nation. My favorite line from the article is "Democrats meanwhile defended that pay inequity and say the gender pay gap in the White House is smaller than in the overall economy." HA, what a freaking joke! People would sacrifice him if that wasn't the case. But really? I mean come on people! If you're going to preach it, you have to back it up. Both candidates are full of deceit. 51 people on staff make 42,000 a year, the lowest in the White House, majority are women. It goes without saying Romney is NOT a favorite amongst young women, but Obama is not painting a pretty picture for himself either. If the White House is considered a hostile workplace, how are we supposed to feel about the rest of America?Both men up for president have become equally disgusting to me. I felt better off naive to the whole situation. There isn't a lesser evil to vote for this year. It is a little disheartening to feel neither will be an acceptable leader, much less a great one.  “The message to Washington and to candidates from young women is clear – get out of the way – lower taxes and lower federal spending to get this economy moving again.”

Off and on...


Washington Post published an article by Eugene Robinson titled “Obama’s off night gives Romney an opening.”  Robinson discusses the debate that happened October 3, Wednesday night. He argued that although Obama had a rough night, the race for president isn’t over. I could not agree more. It might have evened the playing field though. He believes most voters have already made up their minds, if so was true, Why all the hoopla? He continues that the “win” for Romney will have very little effect on the outcome. But not only was it a good night for Romney, it was a bad one for Obama, closing the gap between opponents I believe. I agree when he states that it took the Republican party out of a dark hole. Romney has made some significant blunders and the debate shed light on a very dismal outlook. I personally prefer a spit fire personality such as Romney versus a pensive one such as Obama. But everyone, including Robinson, has come down hard on Obama’s demeanor that night. Robinson also took the moment to point out all the issues Obama missed. This really solidified his liberal agenda to me. Accusing Obama of missing the dire questions that Romney previously hasn’t answered, which democrats feel like he can’t.


One thing that wasn’t discussed in the article which Governor Romney brought up in the debate was the redirection of government back to the state level as opposed to the federal level. I feel it was a really important topic and probably omitted because it was a strong point and his articles tend to be left-leaning.
