If all the polls that are currently flying around that show Barry increasing his lead over Romney are actually correct, then there can only be one possible explanation. And it's that the American people have come to actually prefer being lied to rather than to be treated as adults. I mean what other conclusion can we come to? Because on one hand you've got Barry and his many surrogates out there telling all manner of lies about everything from Medicare to the millions of jobs that Barry has supposedly created. And on the other hand you have Romney, Ryan and few others pointing out example after example that prove what a disaster the last four years have been and how it is that we simply can't go on in the same way that we have been. But too many us seem to find it easier to fall for Barry's empty rhetoric.
And I really thought that the American people would want to be told the truth, to know what must be done so that we can get to work fixing things. I was confident that they would see through all of the "Forward" nonsense, and not fall for the efforts to distract them from recognizing just how abysmal that last four years have been. But, as near as I can tell, no one seems to care all that much about how it is that we got here. And with so much riding on this election, I was so sure that there would be a majority of folks who would be willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure the survival of this country for future generations. I guess I was wrong on all counts. Too many folks seem to be only worried about themselves and not what, if anything, is going to be left for our children. Frankly, I guess, I'm a little surprised at the level of selfishness that I'm seeing.
And it's a selfishness that I guess Barry has been able to tap into and to take advantage of better than Mr. Romney has been at explaining, or demonstrating, just how the selfishness of today is putting into jeopardy the possibility of those who come after us, the ability to enjoy the same standard of living that we do today. I honestly thought we would all be capable enough, on our own, to see that for ourselves without Mr. Romney having to draw it all out in picture form for us. I've always thought that we Americans had a quality within us that made us a little bit different from the rest of the world. A quality that has always enabled us to identify that which needed to be done, and no matter how difficult it was, or how much personal hardship we would have to be endure, we would set to work and do whatever was necessary.
But it would that that simply doesn't appear to be the case anymore. I'm not sure when it was that we might have lost that quality, but it most certainly is one that we no longer possess. We have now become pretty much just like everyone else, living only for today, comfortable in doing the minimum to get by, and happy to vote for the one guy who is only too happy to encourage us to come on down and get on the government dole. The future is definitely looking pretty dim right now, and what faith I may have at one time had in my fellow Americans, has pretty much evaporated. I just don’t see enough of us being able to come together and make the decision that ‘needs’ to be made. Too many simply fail to grasp what Barry has in mind to do once he doesn’t have to worry about another election. The floodgates will be opened and darkness will descend upon us.
