Obama Inhaled So What

November 26th, 2007 by Quan Tranh

Obama inhaled and that was the point.

Mitt Romney on the other hand doesn’t get the point.

“I agree with the sentiment that nobody’s perfect and most of us, if not all of us, in our youthful years have engaged in various indiscretions we wouldn’t want to have paraded in the front of a newspaper,” the former Massachusetts governor said in New Hampshire. “On the other hand if we’re running for president, I think it’s important for us not to go into details about the weaknesses and our own failings as young people for the concern that we open kids thinking that it’s ok for them.”

I would have to disagree with Mr. Romney on his last point.  Politicians are not perfect and should not try to portray themselves as perfect.  I want to see weakness.  I want to see failure.  When you are human you are humble, which is something many politicians are not.  The other issue is that Romney, like most Republicans, seems to have this attitude that everyone should be perfect.  We don’t want kids thinking that it’s ok to be weak and have a failure in their lives now do we?  Yes, God wants us to be perfect.  If you believe he’s there you shouldn’t forget that we were made in his image, not as his exact duplicate.  Romney should realize men are not gods, but maybe someone should give him a mirror that works before trying to explain it to him.
