Current Event 2

In a very recent article by Alexandra Le Tellier in the LA Times entitled "Obama vs Romney-- prepping for a presidential debate rematch," Tellier discusses the recent debate and the upcoming debate.

President Obama and Romney have recently had a debate. Romney was declared the winner of the presidential debate. However, I do not believe he should have won. Tellier stated "the chronic flip-flopper changed his previous talking points." Romney lied his way through the debate, and changed his opinion so that it sounded right, trying to make himself look good. America does not need a leader who can not choose a side and stick with it. Tellier claimed that Romney "needs to back up his words with a plausible plan." He tends to say things without explaining how he is going to do it. Alexandra also stated "Romney’s numbers for rescuing the economy don’t add up." How could he help the economy if he can not make a decent plan? He must form a proper plan, and then back it up with solid evidence. Romney should also consider how his decision is going to affect the future.

America needs a leader that can choose a side and not lie their way through a debate. The tensions of the next debate could be higher than the last; Obama could come back with an even stronger strategy and win the debate. If Romney finds a way to support his ideas, he could win the next debate due to winning the previous debate.
