#6 Mitt and Barack

American citizens, as they are every four years, are faced with an important choice. Who will be the next President of the United States? To many in the United States, this is a difficult choice, but to me, it is a clear choice. In terms of charisma, Obama's powerful speaking voice and "hip" image beats out Mitt Romney trying to be folksy while trying to pull off the experienced businessman, in an age in which the one percent are disliked more and more. At a time in history in which the federal deficit of the United states is at a breaking point, I think it's irresponsible that both candidates have plans that will lower taxes, but at the same time, at least Obama will raise taxes for the rich to justify lowering them for the middle class, while Mitt will simply cut taxes for the rich without even giving a justification. I also find Mitt's social programs that target women troubling in a modern society. Mitt may want to say that Obama was unable to work with the government, but the Republicans refused to work with him during his entire tenure as President. If the United States elects a united democratic caucus, than I do see a bright future for America. However, judging from the polls looking at the House of Representatives, we may have four more years of finger-pointing and badgering. These politicians need to spend more time working, than working on getting the right to work from the citizens.
