(151 posts)32. Greed and Compassion
cannot occupy the same spiritual space
Obama's compassionate
won out over
Romney's greed
compassion wins every time.
Consider a greedy republican trying to score political 'photo op' points as transparent to all including republicans as a real president doing the real work of comforting the victims of serious damage , the greedy lose everytime..
truth triumphs over falsehood everytime
compassion over greed the victory everytime..
Obama over Romney, the evidence is clear we have a new winner for the office of President of the United states, congrats Mr. Obama.. you are worthy of our country's leadership and will not even lose a drop of sweat next week when you sweep our states with landslide win!!! congrats, i'm proud you are our guy!
