When voters go into the polls to select a president this
year the question weighing on their minds will be: Do I want four more years of
this president? Almost nothing else
matters. Those who think Barack Obama
did a good job, given the problems when he went into office, will take the
plunge and look forward to four more years of an economy that is eating America
alive.
Those who want Romney are simply fed up with Obama and
understand that he has no clue how to turn America around. More important they’re scared. Four more years of a man who doesn’t have any
compunctions about stomping on the Constitution to get his way and voters are
afraid we will lose the fundamental values of America.
I believe there is a third group of voters who will make
their choice in the polling booth. Those
voters have refused to really let their decision be known. They don’t want to be seen as voting against
the first black president. But the
economy is their fear. Elderly voters have watched their retirements
collapse. Some young people are looking
at a stark job picture. College students
are torn. They hear Obama trying to buy
them with the student loan while seeing their prospect of a career decimated.
The secrecy of the voting booth is the reason Mitt Romney
will win. Fear of the current president is a palpable driver.
