Without having heard the 30 minutes speech, I read the New York Times article about it. I find that they hold a lot of respect for "Mr. Romney" and most of the article circled around him and his values rather than the actual substance of Obama's speech.
Honestly, I haven't formed an opinion on who I am going to vote for in the election, and seeing as it is my first, I feel like I should make an educated decision. So, what I previously wrote may come off as me being biased and leaning more towards President Obama, but I am really just trying to understand Mitt Romney and his beliefs.
Sometimes I find President Obama to be stating the obvious, something that every American knows like when he said Americans, “have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their view.” I personally think that having a 3rd grade level education makes you fully aware of that fact.
Knowing that the New York Times is more conservative than other newspaper companies, I notice how they bring up how often President Obama faces challenges and critique. However, when I read the way that they quote President Obama, I can hear Obama's booming voice speaking those words with the applause that most definitely came immediately after that.
Lastly, referring to my previous post, on the unrest in Libya, I have finally heard an official response from President Obama. “There are no words that excuse the killing of innocents, there is no video that justifies an attack on an embassy. There is no slander that provides an excuse for people to burn a restaurant in Lebanon, or destroy a school in Tunis, or cause death and destruction in Pakistan.”
I completely agree with the fact that there is no excuse for what the terrorists have done to our people overseas recently, but I would like to know President Obama's plan for seeking justice on those who killed Chris Stevens and our many other fallen Marines.
