3 Reasons why to re-elect Obama

3 Reasons why to re-elect Obama

And 3 others why not to vote for Romney

On November 6, 2012, the Americans have 3 reasons why they SHOULD re-elect Barak Obama.

1- He is a Democrat, which means concentrating on domestic issues that benefit ordinary Americans rather than the rich ones and the foreign interests.

2- He promised to reform the health-care regulations, and he did.

3- He fulfilled his promises regarding the wars. He pulled the troops from Iraq, where the republican president George Bush sent them to disable the weapons of mass distraction they never found. He also started pulling the troops from Afghanistan and did not take the country into a new nonsense war.

But there are also 3 reasons why the Americans SHOULD NOT vote for Mitt Romney.

1- He is a Republican, which means he will devote his policy to his party’s priority interest; the foreign affairs, especially starting wars. The Republican record of wars is not encouraging. Look into Reagan and the ‘Grenada War’, Bush Senior and the ‘Invasion of Panama’ and the ‘First Gulf War’, Bush Junior and the ‘Afghanistan and Iraq Wars’. It looks like ‘War’ is the only language they can speak.

2- Every time a Republican is in office, a giant scandal or a lie associates with him, his administration or era. Do you remember Nixon and the ‘Watergate’, Reagan and the ‘Iran-Contra Gate’, Bush Senior and the ‘Saving & Loans’ and ‘Read my Lips’, Bush Junior and the ‘Iraqi Weapons of Mass Distraction’ and also the ‘Resection’ his policy caused and the ‘Bankruptcy’ of major banks, finance companies and car makers?

3- Every time a Republican is in office, the economy takes a nose-dove. Romney’s record of making his fortune by moving American businesses overseas, which usually increases the unemployment rate, is not a good news to start with.

When a party always ruins the economy, raises the deficit, involves in scandals and leaves war mess behind, then why do the people keep bringing it back to office?

Vote Democrat, Vote Obama! He deserves a second term so he can finish the job he started.
