In the opinion of the author of this blog Barack Obama deserves another 4 years. When Obama took office the United States was facing the next great depression. It didn't happen. While the economic recovery has been slow, it has been steady. When Obama took office we were entrenched in 2 wars, now 1 is over and we are winding down the other. Osama Bin Laden is dead. That right there may have clinched the endorsement of many people. While many may not like all of the changes included in 'Obamacare', at least he got something done. Also keep in mind that this was all done by someone who had the highest of expectations.
This endorsement is also about the challenger. Mitt Romney is a nice guy. A successful guy. And even would make a good president. He has also changed his stance more than a retired old man changes tv stations trying to find Bonanza. It should scare people that if you look at his record he could run for either party... at the same time. I believe that Romney would be a great asset to any president's cabinet, maybe even Obama's. He does understand business, but the United States of America is not a business it is a country of over 300 million people. As the leader of a country you can not look at people as numbers. I get the sense that Romney doesn't know any better and that is a shame.
In closing it is important to note that I voted for Obama in 2008. Some will say that I'm doubling down instead of admitting that I voted wrong in the last election. That is not the case. In 2008 I did not buy in to the cult of personality, I bought into the promises and ideas that the were achieved in the first paragraph of this piece.
