Topic: Mitt’s moving to the middle
Brief Summary : Mitt Romney admitted that if he was elected president he'd repeal ObamaCare, however he also stated that he does agree with some things in ObamaCare (health-care reform). “One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage. Two is to assure that the marketplace allows for individuals to have policies that cover their family up to whatever age they might like.”
Mitt’s moving to the middle. In a nod to undecided voters, Mitt Romney dished out praise yesterday not only to former President Bill Clinton, but to President Obama.Romney said Obama “deserves credit for giving the order for the SEAL Team Six to go after bin Laden and take him out. That’s absolutely right.” But he criticized the president for not acting more forcefully to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons.He praised Clinton for urging more bipartisanship in his speech last week.
“I think he, Clinton, really did elevate the Democratic convention in a lot of ways,” Romney said. He then hinted that Clinton’s performance may have overshadowed Obama’s.Romney also tried to soften his opposition to the auto bailout, which had angered many in the swing state of Michigan, by saying he had called only for General Motors to declare bankruptcy.Romney’s plan allows insurers to deny coverage to previously uninsured people. Romney's promises are a cynical attempt to mislead the American people on the devastating impact his policies would actually have. I learned that although Obama is Mitt Romney's opponent he still agrees with some of Obama's policies.And quoted "“Of course, there are number of things that I like in health-care reform that I’m going to put in place." In doing so it has been said that he is more in the middle rather than the conservatory side.
This information can be beneficial to me because it allows me to stay in tact with current events especially those regarding the upcoming political election. I am now informed that Mitt Romney and Obama's opinions regarding healthcare are somewhat similar when it comes to people with pr-existing conditions continue to receive healthcare coverage. The author of the article seems to disagree with Mitt Romney and his two-sided opinions. This is evident because the author includes several other sources in which other spokes people quoted Romney. They also analyze his quotes and interpret them with negative opposition. This article is significant and could heavily impact the political arena today because it clearly exhibits Mitt Romney's inability to form an opinion and stick with it. It seems as if he may initially make an opinion regarding a particular topic, and then change it as soon as he is questioned about it. This could negatively impact the election for him because no one -republican or democrat- would want to elect an individual who is inadequate when it comes to making decisions.
