Fortunately, for many of us, life is full of opportunities to restart an effort that might have gone a bit off track. Or to coin a phrase, we are allowed to hit the Reset button. Rationales for inaction and procrastination are legion and, frankly, not worth discussing. So, we begin anew.
Mitt Romney has all but nailed down the Republican nomination, and , friends, this is a very good thing. When the current White House resident was elected, we looked to an old saw for comfort: If the US could survive the Carter presidency, we could survive anything. How naive were we? Carter's ineptitude was, for the most part, quickly remedied. The damage that our current Chief Executive has wrought might not be so easy. Our fiscal house is not just in disorder, it is a shambles.
When asked a few months ago, who he would select as president, a friend stated that he wanted someone who owned a calculator and knew how to use it. Furthermore, he wanted someone who had run an organization, even if it was only a scout troop. Hyperbole? Perhaps, but given the mountain of debt accumulated in the past three years, not especially.
Mitt Romney has the skills and experience to bring order out of the chaos and put the country back on track to deal with its many challenges. Once this is done, we can begin dealing with some of the important social issues.
And, finally, a note to the MSM: How important is the so-called issue of likability? First of all, Mitt is a very charming and likable guy, but just how important is this quality in and of itself?
Finally, on a local note: The Voters rejected the Meals tax increase in the January special election.
