Comments on Israel's poor decision to back Mitt Romney

Before the past election, in which President Obama had a widespread victory, Israel decided to back Mitt Romney. Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but this seems a very poor decision given the widespread support of Obama leading up to the election. Binyamin Netanyahu seemed to have nothing but good things to say about the US and the president before this election, due to our close alliance with training of military personnel to financial aid. However, there may be some backlash for Israel due to this betrayal. I don't know how Mr. Netanyahu thought he could get away with backing the candidate with lower support, knowing he had blown most of his campaign money early on and was liable to gain much more. This seems like an obvious error, and Israel may have to pay for his mistakes. It may be time for Israel to start getting some more sensible leadership who will stay away from backing one candidate or another and jeopardizing their friendship with the United States.

Mitt Romney- The benefit of the non-incumbent

There are some giant problems with the GOP candidate running for the highest office in the United States this year. Mitt Romney lacks some very important foreign relation skills, his numbers don’t add up, and he tortured his dog. This seems to be the general consensus of the American people right now. Let’s explore the root dilemma of this candidate.

Mitt Romney has his faults, and he has benefits, the main one being that he has the potential to fix the US, but is untested. Let’s start out with that benefit. We have seen what Obama can do, like the things I talked about in the previous section. However we haven’t seen what Romney can do. We don’t know if he would fly into the white house with a cape flying behind him and fix all Obama couldn’t in one day. The fact is, we don’t know. Here’s what we do know. He has flip-flopped on almost every issue since the start of his political career, and has some major mishaps we have to take into account. I will start out with one of the most major dilemmas. His forty-seven percent statistic. This wasn’t an accurate statistic in the first place, but he topped it off with a cherry by saying, “I don’t care about that 47%.” This may be one of the only true facts he has presented us with for the entire election season.  When you take a fact checker to the presidential debates, you would be surprised the ratio of true to untrue, especially in the first and third presidential debate. But the fact is, most people don’t look at the facts, and the statistics he is throwing out there sound good. It doesn’t matter what he’s saying, as long as he is saying it’s his campaign strategy, and Obama definitely didn’t use that in the first debate, as he said almost nothing to combat Romney’s “facts”. And that is why the election could go either way this Tuesday.
