Proposed Presidential Response:
With regard to economic theory:
The idea of “Perfect Competition” is something that does not work in the real world. It is a “theory” which requires something known as the invisible hand of the market to equal out the playing field. This to me is a type of Social Darwinism which does not include a compassionate view of fellow human beings. At our level of technological and scientific advancement I believe that human beings are capable of creating a more just and modern society through combined efforts to allow everyone a decent standard of living. My opponent tries to use scare tactics by labeling this with words from the past; words that corporations have spent millions of promotional dollars to “tag” as negative. You know what those words are; I do not have to repeat them here. I do know that my goals do not include pitting one group of people against the other. My ideas do not include creating a pool of low wage workers for corporations to exploit. In my opinion~ that is exactly what Mr. Romney and his corporate supporters are trying to create. I want all Americans to stand with me against these social planning strategies that my opponents economic policies are devised to implement.

I believe in the greatness of the
United States because I believe in the unique potential of each American. My policies reflect this belief. The
time is upon us to renew America. By investing
in our people through education and access to quality healthcare for all, in
every stage of life. By investing in our infrastructure through mobilizing and
modernizing our resources of energy, transportation and communication
technologies. Making these changes will help to create a more powerful and positive environment which
encourages each human person to reach their brightest potential. It is my
opinion and my earnest belief that this will lead to greater health, wealth and
happiness for every citizen.
Predictable Romney Reply: I don’t
know what you are talking about Mr. President...
Proposed Presidential (quick) Rebuttal:
Here you go again trying to pull a fast one over on the American people.
That is what I do not like or respect about you Mr. Romney. And that is why I
must continue with my administration for another 4 years.
Proposed Presidential Closing Remarks:
I am asking
the people of America to vote for me and to also vote out the Republicans in
Congress and the State Administrations who have caused so much economic harm to
our country during my first term in office with their austerity agenda and
political stonewalling. Together we can make the changes needed to create a
better society for all Americans. How do we do this? We must make sure
Republicans are not re-elected to Congress.
Why is this important? I will tell
you. During my first term I have witnessed, and maybe so have you if you have
been paying attention, something I did not want to believe, but it happened. It
is shameful how Republicans have worked together to harm the American people
and the American economy, the world economy for that matter. Because what we do
here in the United States does have ramifications throughout the world.
Republican stonewalling on many of my proposals especially the jobs bill has
caused poverty to metastasize. The policies I have proposed are evidence that
despite their worst efforts to hinder an economic recovery, I have managed to keep
economic conditions in our country from getting worse and we have seen some
improvements. I am confident my policies are moving America Forward where as
Republican policies promise to move us backward to darker days for everyone. For
everyone except people like my opponent Mr. Romney who make-up a tiny minority
now commonly referred to as the 1%.
I say this because I
know for a fact most of you do not live the lifestyle my opponent was fortunate
enough to inherit for himself. I do not agree with the way he has been able to avoid paying
his fair share of taxes especially when I see all of you struggling. I do not
agree with Mr. Romney and others in the Republican Party who shame people for
not being able to find a job or for accepting help from food stamps. I know how
hard it is to live in a society that has high economic inequality. For most people it can mean a life filled with too much difficulty and uncertainty. The policies put forth by Republicans and supported and promoted by Mr. Romney will
only serve to widen the income gap between the haves and the have-nots. I am asking you to stand with me and I will
continue to do all I can so that America becomes a place of opportunity again,
for everyone ~ and not just for people like Mr. Romney.
