Four years ago I lived in Arizona and was convinced then that Sen. John McCain would have been a better choice for President of the United States of America than Barack Obama. But after Obama was elected, I bought into the glamorous words of change and listened to my peers who swore that with Barack Obama as president things would get better. He was the president, after all, and we needed to unite and stand behind him. But now after four years of deception and division, I realize that everyone was being fooled by yet another lying politician. Now, as Obama keeps reminding us, we Americans have a choice. We can choose his vision of America, or we can choose that of Gov. Mitt Romney. I support Romney because I believe that his credentials as a businessman far outweigh that of Obama in making the American economy better. I would rather have a businessman in the White House than a lawyer. When I hear President Obama speak, his words are captivating, but they contain no substance, and this is not what I am looking for in a president. Obama is consistent with misleading tones that imply equality of outcome. Romney, on the other hand, speaks more on equality of opportunity, which is how this country came to greatness. There are several reasons why I am voting for Romney. Gov. Romney is for limited government. He is more likely to reduce taxes for small businesses and corporations. We have the highest corporate tax rate of any developed nation in the world under President Obama, and we need a reduced tax rate for these groups to help stimulate job growth. Also, Romney wants decreased regulations to give confidence back to businesses to hire again. He would also like to decrease spending across the board to reduce the ever growing national debt which is now $16 trillion and rising. Gov. Romney has said that he wants to decrease the power of the federal government, and allow states to make their own decisions on topics that are state decisions and not the federal governments. Moreover, Romney would like to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, a proposed pipeline that goes from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, which Obama opposes. The development of the pipeline would create numerous jobs and greatly increase our domestic energy production. Romney would like to expand our reach in the areas of natural gas, coal and nuclear energy that are desperately needed because solar and windmill energy are far too expensive and are rapidly becoming obsolete. I see Romney as being a better president simply because he is a lifelong businessman. On the other hand, Obama is a lifelong politician. Although Obama was a community organizer, a lawyer, a professor and ultimately a senator, his background doesn’t make him a suitable president as he has had no executive experience before entering office, unlike Gov. Romney who has held the office of Governor of Massachusetts, during which he helped develop and enacted into law the Massachusetts health care reform legislation. The law was first of its kind in the nation, which provided health insurance access through state-level subsidies and individual mandates to purchase insurance. He also presided over the elimination of a projected $1.5 billion deficit through a combination of spending cuts, increased fees, and the closure of corporate tax loopholes. I will not be swayed again by fancy, flowery words of change. Gov. Romney is my choice because it seems to me that he can back up his statements, and if he can’t, then why not let someone new lie to us for awhile. If Romney doesn’t keep his promises any better than Obama did, we can just elect another liar in four more years.
