Romney Speech at RNC Reflection

I had a chance to watch the speech live only near the last 15 minutes of it. By that time the speech to me gained a small margin of interest when he began to talk about the many things that Obama was to blame in the country. He may have imposed many new ideas from his perspective, but was all about why it was better to go without Obama this election. Some might say that Obama has the majority of votes already due to minorities and women, and is true to some extent. But with Romney's imposition in this speech, and the current struggles this nation is going through, he might be able to drive the nation to pick him instead of Obama; to try a different man for the job. Romney also spoke of an ideal America, in which "That America" could be more prosperous if he were to be president.

This is quite the new experience. Sadly, I feel very awkward right now.
