Better Romney Than Obama In November

I agree 100% with what Hannan has said in his blog post today about Mitt Romney. You can read it here. Mitt Romney is not the bogeyman the British media are making him out to be. The media reflects not only the embarrassment we feel about those who are members of odd religious sects but also the idea that we must support someone like Obama in order to prove the view we have of ourselves as colour blind. This embarrassment and view of ourselves affects those from right and left of the political spectrum and leads us into patronising the likes of Obama by forgiving errors that we would never have forgiven in say Bush. Obama, deep down, is not a friend of this country and the removal of the bust of Churchill from his office, although a slight thing, is a manifestation of that feeling he has about us. Frankly Obama is a big head made bigger by the ridiculous Noble prize given to him at the beginning of his Presidency and by all the flattery heaped on him simply because he is a black man and the first man of that skin to be elected President of the most powerful country in the world. The praise for his election should be heaped on those that voted for him, not on the man himself. He cannot be praised for many of his policies however, not on the economy, nor on the way he has handled the Russians and, by murdering bin Laden, neither on the issue of the rule of law - an anglo-saxon concept if ever there was one. His healthcare bill leaves a lot to be desired too. Indeed he will leave office with the security of the world in a worse position than when he became President. Putin's Russia is a loose cannon as he takes his country back to confrontational politics with the West. Obama has failed to give Israel the support it deserves as the only Western type democracy in the Middle East and instead given succour to the ambitions of Iran. Romney will be far better equipped to look after world security and to bring back economic growth to the USA and eventually to the world. It is in our interest that Romney becomes the next President and shame on us if, because he has an oddball religion or for some other quirky reason, we fail to support him in November's election.
