Romney hasn't earned our trust...

Editor LZ Granderson from CNN has written a well put together article about Mitt Romney, the Republican representative for the Presidential election. LZ Granderson states that he had asked a group of people about the trust that they have in Mitt Romney. The response to this question was "I trust him more than I trust Obama." That response was shocking to me, because of the way Granderson elaborated. He stated that it was a longer way of saying "no." There are many reasons that Americans do not trust Mitt Romney, and one of these reasons is because of the so called "tax plan" that Mitt Romney has, but will not show to Americans. How are we supposed to trust him to be our President if he cannot elaborate on the tax plan he has...??

LZ Granderson's says Mitt Romney's many deceptions make him a riskier bet than President Obama.
This is a perfect picture to show the confusion on Mitt Romney's face when speaking to the Americans about his "tax plan."

Many Americans can see that Romney flip flops a lot of his ideas such as the pro-abortion rights, and also Romneycare. 

Many people see that Obama has broken promises since he has been in office. Granderson states that "500 promises the president made during the 2008 campaign and found thus far he's kept 37% of them.  He's broken 16%, and compromised on 14% and is still working on the other 22%." 

I find that not only the Republicans are effected by this situation with Mitt Romney, but also Democrats.  He is promising/agreeing on things that he doesn't necessarily follow through with or elaborate on, and it doesn't make him look like a very trustworthy candidate.

  1. It is all about getting the votes and obtaining presidency. Who to trust is the biggest question that many Americans face with all presidencies. They see the empty promise that Obama makes, while Romney can't make a stance on where he wants to stand on issues. This shows us how our country relies on these people that can't even trust what has been written for them to say. I think Romney needs to speak to Lady Gaga about obtaining a poker face, while running for candidacy!

  2. And this is why Romney didn't get elected! I'm so happy that American's could see through his lies. I understand the fact that you have to try and make yourself look the most appealing to try and win the votes; but you have to at least know what your talking about if you want to gain those votes and peoples trust that you will be a good leader of this country. Sadly we all know that who ever was elected was going to lie, they are politicians and that's what they do, whether its a little while lie or a massive one, they all tell them.
