Did Obama eat a dog; did Romney haze a teen?

Did Obama eat a dog; did Romney haze a teen? These are ridiculous distractions. This is an election for the most powerful office in the world. What either of these men did as children has little or nothing to do with the presidential election of 2012.

I want to keep the economy in the front. I saw the front political page of CNN today, and it read like a Jay Leno late night skit. Slam Romney and hail Obama! Is this what you want to hear about?

I want jobs, lower taxes, and an efficient government. I want an end to butt kissing politicians of either side. I thought it was bad when Clinton shamed himself with his sexual nonsense, but quite honestly, with the problems in the economy not just in our country either, can't CNN and others find any real news to report. How about how the candidates will fix the ailing economy.

My honest opinion is that I hope Mitt Romney wins, and the money he spends is his own. I believe Obama has been very generous with my money.

I think the tactic is called red herring where you throw something out there to take focus off the real issues. It is the economy all the way.

Destraction so we will not see, neither one has any idea about how to fix the economy nor any other of sever important issues. The only candidate with a plan and willing to address it is being completely ignored as though he does not exist.
