"BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU WHOM I VOTED FOR"

He said so as he held court after casting his ballot at the Martin Luther King Community Center in Chicago, Illinois. This is the town he picked to do his volunteer work of uplifting the community of South Side back in the eighties. By the way, his wife and U.S First Lady is originally from that part of America.

 

In voting early, the U.S President has gone down in written history as the first incumbent to do so, by his own account. This move is supposed to be his last-minute trump card. From a man whom Donald Trump has characterized as "the least transparent president in the history of this country [America]", Obama seems to have slowed down a tad in the re-election campaign.

 

His message is no longer as potent as that during his 2008 campaign trail; and his articulation less lucid. To be sure, things have not been easy for him. His critics seem to be louder than he is, and more energetic. Yet his record in office is pretty justifiable. And the American people have a lot to say about that. Remember the words:

"...the time we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can."
 

And now--this year, in his re-election--there appears to be no follow-up message to get his supporters continuously engaged and fired up. On the other hand, Mitt Romney has come out with his Republican guns blazing. How far Romney can get with that equipment is yet to be seen.

 

We all know the answer to the question of whom he cast his vote for. If he gets trumped on November 6, the fault will be all his.
