Vote For Obama

Editor, Times-Union:
There have been several letters about why you should not vote for Obama. Let me tell you why you should.

The first thing I hear is about the stimulus. Don’t forget that a lot of that was started by Bush, and you say it was a failure. I don’t think it was a great success but it was not a total failure. You then say we should not have bailed out the banks or the auto industry. What do you think would have happen it they went under? Things would be worse than the great depression.

Do you want a president who thinks that he doesn’t have to worry about 47 percent of the people because they need assistance to make ends meet? We hear Romney say he is going to appeal Obamacare, but what is he going to replace it with? And then he says there are parts he will keep. He says we need to cut some of the tax deductions to balance the budget, but he also wants to give the rich more tax breaks.

As far as Social Security goes, if the government would pay back what they borrowed then there would be plenty of money to keep it going.

If you have not seen the pattern yet, let me tell you that Romney does not care for you unless you are in the top 1 percent.

Given the choice between Obama and Romney, I choose Obama because he cares about everyone not just his friends.

In closing, let me say did Obama made some mistake, yes. Is he perfect? No. Out of the two people running is he the best pick, yes?
