No Matter Who is elected things will stay the same

I know this sounds like a very cynical comment but unfortunately it is also true. If you remember how Obama promised to close Guantanamo before he was elected wasn't able to after he was elected?
Even if Romney is elected instead of Obama nothing will really change at all except that Romney might get us all killed because of bad foreign policy decisions which seems to be his very worst quality if he becomes president. Obama is burnt out from dealing with insurmountable problems as any man or woman would be at this point. Only a few presidents have had to deal with this much like Lincoln(who probably welcomed assassination), Franklin Delano Roosevelt (who died in office) and Truman(who left office and nobody cared) even though he had sheparded the country after Roosevelt died and had to A-bomb Japan and moved the country to where Eisenhower could rebuild the country and make it the most powerful country ever on earth at that time.  Obama is exhausted as any normal man or woman would be about now having brought the country this far in extremely difficult times.

In fact, I would say things will get much worse if Romney is elected because he has no idea what he is doing yet and probably wouldn't for about 4 years of being in office. If you really want to see things get better likely Obama would be a better choice because he is the only one who actually understands how bad things actually are not just in theory like Romney does. So, on purely a pragmatic level even though it might cause Obama to age or even get ill or die in office he likely would be the best bet for another 4 years. This is my opinion.


Later: By the way in a fact finding truth mission one of the networks reported that neither Romney's or Obama's economic plan is feasible to end the deficit or to balance the U.S. Government budget. So, from this point of view they are both talking "Fairy tales" in regard to the economy and balancing the budget and ending the deficit. What it would actually take to end the deficit and balance the budget would be so draconian that the U.S. would look like a third world nation if we did it now. So, in order for this nation to stay first world and not go third world we might have to carry the debt from the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war longer than anyone wants to in order to remain a first world country. So, just expect the U.S. to be still paying off the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the 2020s. A similar thing happened after the Viet Nam War in the 1980s. It caused 10% unemployment in the early 1980s and several difficult recessions throughout the 1970s and 1980s which was the price the whole country paid for the Viet Nam War. Wars are extremely expensive (1 cruise missile is about 1 million dollars for example) and if you remember "shock and awe?" that likely cost at least 100 to 500 million dollars just in cruise missiles that night let alone anything else that was done before, during or after that in regard to military or planning expenditures.

Sometimes, it is better to carry some debt rather than to live in an alley in a cardboard box like a homeless person as a nation and be completely vulnerable and bankrupt and defenseless as a nation.
