Who is the Least Infulential Person?

GQ names Romney ‘Least Influential Person of 2012’

 

This opinion by Noel Sheppard is by far the BEST story I have read. It was revolved around Romney’s idiotic campaign. He starts off by telling us how the GQ (Gentleman’s Quarterly) magazine voted Mitt to be the #1 least influential person. His tactic was brilliant as he commented on Romney’s $ 300 million in the Bahamas.  No more brutal campaign mishaps, cowardly color changes, or ridiculous photos of his “appealing” smile. This next sentence is where the transition happens, “I mean, the guy got over 59 million votes earlier this month. That’s a lot more influence than GQ’s number two pick, actress Amanda Bynes”. Noels comments were strategically played to come across as totally bashing Romney but perhaps he wants to open our eyes to the true Influential person, Obama. As all the attention was pushed onto Mitt as Obama just got by with that he’s done is his 4 yr term. The article said, “Obama’s dealings with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, his felonious real estate developer Tony Rezko, and his America-hating Reverend Wright throughout the entire 2008 campaign combined”. This election was premeditated to alienate Romney as the bad guy to get the heat off of Obamas failures. With saying that I will also add that everybody makes mistakes. It almost seem that no one will allow the president to make mistakes but if the shoes was to be on the other foot, what would happen then.

How not to be President

After reading a colleagues work I discovered that I could not become the next president. I am a below middle class, black, woman and regretfully have done some stuff I’m not proud of. I’m pretty sure if I had $1.25 billion I could pay off some debt, clear my name, and run a presidential campaign. My colleague did a great job with having factual evidence and still maintaining a comic tone. She gives personal experience which shows character and style. Her ability to relate to the average “Jane” causes one to forget about social status and more about the cause. The statistics of the average US income being $50,000 is a slap in the average Joe’s face. If that was so called true then there shouldn’t be a 47% that Romney pointed out. I can at least say that I have had more than $1000 in my bank account, but that was including the school loans. That doesn’t count for anything seeing how I eventually have to pay that back. Majority of the Americans I know live from paycheck to paycheck; just hoping they can make it. If the government would give real hope to its citizens then in return I’m sure we would give back to it. The rhetorical question that is asked in her blog is a great writing tool for expressive writing. I enjoyed her blog and all the content that she had in it. It was influencing and persuasive all in one.
