If I have had the possibility of voting for a president in the US, I would have voted for Barack Obama. Not because he is black, or that he is a novelty.. Mostly because he, from where I stand IS the better candidate for the job.. The republican candidates, have shown again and again to be extremely stupid, and out of touch with what USA need to get to safe grounds where it come to almost everything.. Mr Obama is maybe not the liberal person many of us believed when he was elected - but he have had a Congress and a Senate who have made every step in the direction of making things better a very difficult one.. I bet he have had to swallow a few "camels" in the hope of making progress that will make progress possible.. And the republicans have used all this "camels" for what it is wort, to make their own agenda worse and worse.. Many of this would never had been known, if it was not for Democratic Underground, and the community here, who have been digging up a lot of "dirt" on the republican side, who should be used to "kill" any hope of an republican president in 2012, or later ones.. The republican Party have indeed made them self their worst enemy the last couple of years.. Specially after Obama got elected, their hate, their unwillingness to work together for a greater good and try to repair the smoking ruin the legacy of mr Bush jr indeed have given US have shown what the republicans is today...
I do not believe Romney to be the best candidate. In fact I do not believe any republicans today is able, or willing to really do the right thing - but rather let the thing slide for as long as possible - and then say "sorry times up, we got ours, you are on your own suckers".. Even when most Republicans would be in the same bag as the rest of america - and be the "suckers"..
And one thing I do fear, from my humble knowledge about history, is that the systems some republicans want US to be, is a country not stable, and where revolutions and violence against the "noble ones" could end rather nasty for them.. US have had an amazing possibility to make buffers, so it would not end that way - but from what I have read here on DU, and other lesser known sites, many americans today is rather desperate, and angry about how things have stared to go.. If the powers to be, do not understand this, and turn around to make it better, it could end in civil wars - and also in a bloody revolution, where things could go bad, really bad.. Remember Europe is a Continent who have known a lot of bloody revolutions since The french revolution of 1789.. It could happened in the US too, if the in-equality goes to wild.. History know no ends when it came to violence when in-Justice goes to long without been minded..
President Barack Obama was a "record breaker" in many ways when he got elected, and should be remembered for it, for all future. But as it stand today, I firmly believe that Obama IS the best candidate, the most possible republican candidate mr Romney is not it... Not to say, it exist an republican candidate today that is able to work for the better good either.. To me from the outside, it looks like the republican party is been taken over by a group of extremists, who is not afraid longer to admit they exist, and is hellbent of ruining everything that have ever been build by government to the better of "everyone else"...
