Romney Exposed!

A candid video just released by Mother Jones shows Mitt Romney expressing his views on what he really thinks of Democratic voters. The video sees Romney speaking at a private function where he states that 47%  of people will vote in favor of Obama and that these people essentially take advantage of the government and what they offer such as health care and housing due to feeling a sense of entitlement. The Republican also goes on to explain that Obama voters avoid paying income tax which consequently dents his own campaign as his policy for creating low taxes doesn't connect.


"All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it..." - Mitt Romney

DNC Recap: Michelle Obama's Speech

The Democratic National Convention was home to many speakers over the course of the 3 days including the first Latino keynote speaker, Mayor Julian Castro and Former President Bill Clinton. However the scene stealer was no other than the First Lady, Michelle Obama whose speech no doubt increased the popularity of her and her husband. According to CNN, a recent poll showed Michelle Obama to be the nation’s favourite First Lady with 72% of the vote. Michelle’s speech not only depicted Barack as a good politician who sticks to his word but also as a human being who has had his fair share of struggles before making it as the President. She showed him to have a personality outside of what he stands for as a president but also managed to incorporate some of his key policies such as better health care and increasing student aid.

“Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are – it reveals who you are. ...... at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as President, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are....”  - Michelle Obama, DNC, September 4^th, 2012
