Obama vs. Romney...A Closer Look at Their Convention Speeches

It was very well noticeable that Romney attacked Obama in his speech consistently. However, he also spoke about the issues that he aims to solve. For example, Romney stated that he would create 12 million new jobs and that America will become energy independent by 2020. He also said that he would bring a better future for the United States, but did not exactly say how he would do it. He also did not mention anything about the war in Afghanistan, which brings up the question of whether he wants to finally bring the troops back home or not. Romney said that he will have a tighter grip on foreign policy, and he referred to Russia when doing so. This also brings up the question of what Romney wants to do with Russia.

As for Obama, he said that he would create more jobs by investing in renewable energy. Obama will push America to become less dependent on foreign oil by creating solar and other cleaner types of energy. He also said that he would give rewards to corporations that brought jobs back to the United States. He aims to set better education standards for the nation so that American students can once again have a high standing among the world. Obama will focus on nation building as well as foreign policy. Most importantly, he emphasizes the significance of women's choice.
