The Restaurant Owner who bear hugged Obama invited to tonight’s debate

The ReadyWriter

Scott Van Duzer, the pizza shop owner who enthusiastically embraced the president last month, by physically lifting him up off the ground and bear-hugging him; will be a guest at tonight’s presidential debate.

Tonight is the 3rd presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney. This debate is being held at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida and will focus on foreign policy.

This election 2012 is crucial, will you tune into tonight’s debate? Be sure and share your comments with me when it’s over.

Mitt Romney’s son wanted to take a swing at Obama

The ReadyWriter

The tense verbal exchange between President Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney during Tuesday’s presidential debate stirred anger in Romney’s son, Tagg Romney.

Tagg Romney was a guest on a North Carolina radio show when he was asked how he felt when Obama accused his father of being a liar.

Tagg said he wanted to jump out his seat and “rush down the debate stage and take a swing at him”. But when he thought about how secret service would “stomp him down” he held back. 

I heard Tagg Romney’s interview and I think his comments were a natural response of action to anyone attacking his father.  If someone was verbally attacking my father, I would want to react in the same fashion, defensively. In a case like this, Tagg didn’t care that Barack Obama is president of the United States.

So in the meantime as the media “blows Tagg’s comments” out of proportion on this issue, I’m sure Romney’s son made the comment out of human nature, love and protection for a parent.

Romney – Obama Debate Gets Testy

The ReadyWriter

 

There were some tense moments between the presidential debate rematch between President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney at Hofstra University Tuesday. Governor Romney was concise and confident at the start of the debate, while Obama seemed anxious and fired up. The pressure was on and Obama appeared to rise to the occasion.

Romney was petty taking the president toe to toe but President Obama definitely “Chin-checked” the governor however, I do respect Romney’s religious standards.

“CEO will fire his employees if Obama is Re-elected”

David Siegel, this flashy Florida billionaire has warned his employees; “If Barack Obama is re-elected they should all fear for their jobs”.

In an email Siegel sent to all 7,000 of his employees at Westgate Resorts, David Siegel suggested his staff may want to think twice about voting for Barack Obama if they want to keep their jobs.

“In spite of all of the challenges we have faced, the good news is this: The economy doesn’t currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration,” he wrote in the email, which was leaked by his staff and quickly went viral.

“Of course, as your employer, I can’t tell you whom to vote for, and I certainly wouldn’t interfere with your right to vote for whomever you choose,” he continued. “In fact, I encourage you to vote for whomever you think will serve your interests the best. However, let me share a few facts that might help you decide what is in your best interest.”

The email goes on to make the argument that if Obama is re-elected and raises taxes on the wealthy, the 77-year-old Siegel will be forced to cut jobs and will have no motivation to continue to work, which would mean his staff could find themselves unemployed.

“So, when you make your decision to vote, ask yourself, which candidate understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn’t?” he wrote. “Whose policies will endanger your job?

In the meantime, Siegel’s dream mansion sits on 90,000-square-foot gated retreat in Windermere, Florida., it’s currently under construction for additional improvements. 

And although Siegel claims his email is not a threat or intimidation tactic to his employees, he had no idea it would fire off such the media storm that it has.

Obama SUCKED in last night’s debate!

The ReadyWriter

Yes he was that bad…

I was so pissed as I watched last night’s debate and President Obama looked down, pursed his lips, appeared distracted, stuttered, all while Governor Mitt Romney was attentive, engaged and relaxed as he lied.  Romney made it “all about him” as he came with a frame for the evening, and was prepared to engage President Obama on every question; and because of his documented faith in his own abilities, Mitt Romney felt he could wing it with snatches of familiar verbiage.

There was barely a moment when Obama offered any sense that he was prepared to challenge Romney on his weakest point. The President allowed Romney to piggy back off his policies and be aggressive in this debate, it was like Obama became a straight wimp!

Even on the most basic political points, President Obama seemed clueless. When you argue as a Democrat that you and your Republican opponent share wide areas of agreement on Social Security—especially when recipients make up a chunk of Romney’s “47 percent” of indolent spongers—you have thrown in a fistful of high cards.

What remains after this debate, is one key question that the next 48 to 72 hours will answer: Did this debate change the minds of significant numbers of voters?

Assuming that the flash polls are right and that most viewers thought Romney won the debate. I did what about you?
