The man with the plan: who’s better to lead US?

The Issue: Whether President Obama or Mitt Romney has a better plan for America’s future.

My family makes less than we did four years ago, and we are worth less (“Why Mitt Will Win: Bam Has No Plan” Linda Chavez, PostOpinion, Nov. 3).

We pay twice as much for gas than we did four years ago and also pay 30 percent more for food. We pay more to live while making less. We have never known so many unemployed people in our lives, and for the first time, my wife became one of them.

All this while the deficit is through the roof, the Middle East hates us more than ever, Guantanamo Bay is still open and we are still at war in Afghanistan.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Linda Chavez surely jests in saying Mitt Romney will win the presidency because President Obama has no plan.

It is Romney who has no plan, other than to say, “Elect me, and I will bring change.”

Romney must have set a record for flip-flops on important issues by a nominee. This indicates that he does not have a plan he believes in.

After the primaries and the presidential campaign, voters still don’t know who the real Romney is.

Obama has successfully divided the country into special interests.

He will get the vote of the 47 percent who do not pay federal income taxes and the 12 million people who were given food stamps after he changed the qualification formula, because people will vote for money.

Obama will get the “green” vote, even though his initiatives failed and he wasted billions of taxpayer dollars.

Only a few voters care about, or even understand, foreign policy; therefore, Obama’s incompetence abroad will be inconsequential.

I hope that I am wrong and Chavez is right.

Mitt has a plan? He won’t tell the electorate what it is.

That makes two that know Romney’s plan: He and Chavez.

Obama’s jobs bill would be on his tally sheet of accomplishments if the Republicans hadn’t torpedoed it.
