This post is dedicated to VOTING ALERT BEACON #3: LISTEN / IGNORE
Instead of criticizing each other, calling each other names, and effectively bullying each other in the name of becoming President of the United States, it’s time for both of you to turn away from each other and face the voters. Talk to us! Remember, we have the votes you want.
Last Friday, Candidate Obama made a speech on the economy in which he said something about the private sector doing pretty good. Of course, Candidate Romney jumped on that like he had found a vein of gold and his inauguration for the Presidency was going to be next week. Really, Mr. Romney, you didn’t give us all the context and the things you said were not very nice.
Yesterday, on Tuesday, Mr. Obama commented in a speech that Mr. Romney had learned entirely the wrong lessons from a successful career in business spanning 25 years. He went to say how flawed he thinks Mr. Romney’s economic ideas are. There was a tone of ridicule.
In the past week, I’ve read several articles questioning whether both candidates have lost touch with reality, and whether they are able to connect with the voters. Think about it. We have two individuals who want our votes, but spend their time yelling at each other. At a time when we need new ideas about how to move into the future, we have two individuals who stubbornly insist on looking backward and blaming each other for history.
GUYS, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION! YOU NEED YOU TO TALK TO US, THE VOTERS. WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE AND WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO DO TO GET US THERE. EACH OF YOU NEEDS TO TELL US WHAT YOUR VISION OF SUCCESS IS. THEN WE’LL TAKE IT FROM THERE. WE’LL VOTE FOR THE VISION WE THINK WILL GET US THERE.
Oh, one more thing. I am dead sick and tired of spending time in a school classroom all day, or volunteering my time in youth development, where we constantly teach our children and future leaders how to talk to each other. We work hard at helping them understand how rotten bullying is, and that it isn’t acceptable. I think we’re making a lot of progress with the kids. Then I come home and find you two guys acting like bullies on the national news in the name of becoming President of the United States. PLEASE KNOCK IT OFF!
. . . remember that America’s best days aren’t behind her. America’s best days are ahead of her. They always have been and always will be.
