Earning the Voter’s Trust – The Presidential Debate Edition


According the United States media a debate between President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney was scheduled to happen last night from Hofstra University. Somebody wake me up when they actually begin to debate please.

What happened last night was a good old fashioned male pissing match where both candidates spent most of their time attacking the other candidate’s record or using scare tactics and class warfare in order to gain political points for each of their prospective political base. Most of what happened last night did nothing to earn my trust.

As an independent voter and somebody who is clearly a moderate in all things political, social and economic – if found last night’s boxing match between Obama and Romney quite offensive and proved to me that the choice this year for who to vote for to become the leader of the Free World is nothing except a decision between the South Park ‘Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich’.

The question that all American’s will have the choice to decide on November 6th is who do you trust to lead our country out of the current economic mess we are struggling with. Here are some things you should consider after watching last night’s debate:

The incumbent President of the United States; Barack Obama’s main rational for giving him 4-more years in office is that he ‘inherited’ a giant political mess from previous President George W. Bush’s administration and it was Bush’s and the Republican-led Congress’ fault that he couldn’t improve the nation’s economy in the past four years. He also believes that you should vote for him thanks in part to him Killing Osama Bin Laden – yeah, the President didn’t kill him – Seal team 6 did.

The person who wants to be the President of the United States – Gov. and Businessman Mitt Romney’s main platform for becoming the President is that Mr. Obama had four years to improve the nation – and it’s in worse shape than it was before. He also states that if elected, he has the ‘on hands’ experience to create jobs, stimulate an economy and get back to American value system which has been lacking in recent years – but just quite hasn’t been able to tell us exactly how he is going to get us to the ‘economic promise land’.

So – who do you TRUST?

Somebody who has a vision of what he believes is a perfect society but simply doesn’t know how to get there or somebody who knows how to get there and fix problems but doesn’t understand today’s political system in Washington DC?

This is similar to the current problems that plague the SSL Certificate industry and the trust that several products provide each user. On one hand, many SSL Certificate and Internet Virus Protection programs are built to work effectively under today’s internet browsers and viruses that attack our computers every second. But, many of them don’t have a proven solution as to how they will ensure each program is effective for fixing tomorrows increasing technology and problems which are destined to occur.

Simply put, building trust is all about choosing a candidate or a company who both has a vision for the future but also has practical solutions to fix today’s problems. When you cast your vote in November, keep that in mind when making your choice to be the President of this great nation.
