What a wonderful speech Mrs. Romney gave last night! She showed great talent when it came to showing American women why her husband, Mitt Romney is the best choice for President of the United States. If I wasn't already planning to vote for her husband, her speech would have provided me with reasons why I should change plans and vote for him.
Of course, we knew Democrats were not going to let us simply listen to the speakers at the convention without trying to tell us why Republicans do not have the answers to the nation's problems. My husband pointed out the latest commercial featuring Former President Bill Clinton. This morning I listened very carefully to that commercial.
It was after paying very careful attention to Clinton's words I caught a caveat to the commercial. Clinton begins by saying how Obama will improve the economy and unemployment through job training and better education. However, the most important words in this campaign ad come at the very end, and they suggest Clinton does not have as much faith in Obama as it appears.
After stating Obama is doing many of the same things he did, Clinton makes a qualitative statement. At the very end Former President Clinton says, "This [referring to Obama's plan for improving the economy and unemployment] will only work if there is a strong middle class." Those eleven words flowing from his mouth may suggest Clinton has his doubts about Obama's ability to improve our nation's problems.
Why do I make this suggestion? It's simple. Does anyone in the country truly believe the United States currently has a strong middle class? Of course not!
The weakening of the middle class has been one of the main focuses for both political parties. Everyone agrees the middle class is shrinking, and this decreasing size is not because the middle class is joining the upper class. No, it is because the middle class is losing its financial stability; therefore, I must ask a question. Could it be Former President Bill Clinton made that final statement because he knows Obama cannot fix the nation's problems?
I am not going to say my question has a definitive yes for its answer, but I do believe that final comment from Clinton was not incidental. Former President Bill Clinton knows how to use language with great precision. He knows how to use words to give the impression he is saying one thing while actually saying something else when it comes to controversy of any sort.
I invite everyone to listen very carefully to the political ad featuring Bill Clinton. There is no question the Democrats needed the former president's endorsement for he is after all the accomplished elder statesman to the Democratic Party. Is it possible Clinton agreed to do the commercial, but chose to make that final statement as a qualifier because he has question's about President Obama's ability to solve the problems with the economy and unemployment?
