Letters: 'I Must Choose Obama'

Choosing a candidate is much the same as interviewing a person for a job opening.

Dear Nashua Patch,

For any elected position, look for principles that make America strong. Those encourage a balance between capitalism and socialism; the desire to compete and control with an ideal of public service, as individuals and in business. Expect this from those truly patriotic, but demand it from the rest.

We’ve all seen reckless greed and competition take jobs out of the country and ruin our economy. Healthcare benefits are cut to increase corporate profits. Public programs are cut because taxes don’t provide needed funding. We are not in balance. The chosen candidate(s) must use their office to regulate those that won’t do it voluntarily.

We are all responsible for our community. The person seeking election has a much greater responsibility to the group. They cannot have hidden loyalties or use their position to profit themselves or their friends. We must know who they associate with, their finances and personal views. It is the same when interviewing a person for a job opening, or deciding who to date. Trust is earned.

Given the candidates running for office of President, I must support Obama. His administration is making progress getting our country back in balance: much more to do.

Sincerely,
