Be Assertive, Mitt!

                       The Presidential election is now only 72 days away. After following the entire campaign intently up to the convention, I am still waiting to see Mitt Romney go on the attack. It is clear to me Romney is not in his comfort zone under the constant eye of Democrats who want to paint the picture of him being some evil greedy rich guy who destroyed the middle class. Romney thus far has been ashamed to embrace his many accomplishments because he still thinks he needs to be seen as a regular guy to get elected. Only going by the talk of how life used to be, American culture and society in general must have taken a seismic shift South sometime in the last 50 years. I say this because in today’s culture it actually feels awkward to tell most of our peers the big time moves we are making to move up in life, because a lot of our peers just are not doing much. Large groups of people today feel they are entitled to a handout because of the comparative disadvantages they may have faced that a trust fund kid did not have to endure. I am not the site historian, but it is obvious the generation of Americans who worked for everything they owned were so happy when their hard worked paid off they spoiled their children without thinking about it. This created a tidal wave of feeling entitled across an entire generation that became a breeding ground for people who could receive without ever knowing what it was like to actually be pushed to their personal limits. The task of training students to evolve into hard working Americans has been almost solely handed to the government run school systems and this has become a disaster. The decline in family values and broken homes has resulted in an overall soft approach to life where everyone gets a trophy and last is as good as first. The longer this pattern continues, the more dangerous it is for our country and the more she will weaken.
                   Obama rallied these very people out of the wood works with a message of hope and change. Obama wooed the masses through charisma and elaborate speeches into believing there is an easy way out through his administration. Mitt Romney needs to start speaking to the other side of the aisle. He needs to show no remorse for his accomplishments and show the people that everything he has had his hands on has been a winner. He needs to explain his entire family has reaped the benefits of a successful sow and encourage people they can do the same. Romney must turn his work at Bain Capital into a campaign positive by showing he understands business, the economy, and what business owners want. He needs to retell many Americans that jobs come from businesses who are profitable. Mitt Romney may not be a regular guy but I do not want a regular guy as my President. I want someone who actually has the skills to do a good job and be a strong leader. The more traditional Americans have fallen silent to the boisterous liberals, but there are still more people who know what America was like compared to the gullible new age. Mitt Romney must be more assertive and rally the silent majority that is begging for a change. We need a leader.
