With elections right around the corner some people may still be trying to make up their mind as to who they want to be president. People have been hearing speeches done by president Obama and candidate Mitt Romney as well as to the comments others have about the speeches. But how can one know who is telling the truth? What if the candidate you choose does not accomplish any of the "goals" they said they would do? Thankfully, there are people that write articles with their opinion but also included parts of the speeches given by the candidates. One cannot believe everything that is said by the candidates but they can pay attention to the statements they say they want to accomplish when they become president. An example, of this is Mitt Romney. Many have seen this bipolar attitude towards some of America's biggest issues. For instance, many can recall the statements about immigrants that he has done, "He was a friend of immigrants, then a scourge of immigrants, then again a friend.” (Mitt Romney’s campaign insults voters
) So what should one believe? His first thoughts about immigrants or the thoughts after everyone has given feedback to his idea? Romney has shown that he is a fake because he says one thing then changes the whole story to the other side. So how is one supposed to believe him? Is one willing to put so much power in the hands of an individual that does not have a set plan? This election does not only affect America but the world as well because presidents also have to worry about world politics as well as the economy. This involves trade, taxes, the economy, debt, etc. One bad decision in choosing president can change the whole economy and way of living but also the way everything operates.
