On Wednesday, August 11, 2010, I attended an excellent town hall meeting on Facebook. Marco Rubio was sitting in his house at a computer being peppered with questions from the hundreds of people watching the broadcast. I asked about five questions, but because of the vast number, he didn’t answer any of mine.
The thing I found most interesting and impressive was that Mr. Rubio was answering complex questions about many topics off the top of his head. His knowledge of issues is deep and thoughtful. You can tell he believes what he says and when he speaks, it is with confidence and conviction.
As I watched, I couldn’t help but compare and contrast him to our Socialist President who can’t say good morning without a teleprompter guiding him. One thing that keeps me up at night is remembering that Axelrod and Emmanuel are telling Obama what to say. The communists and ultra-liberals have got to love the fact that Obama will say whatever they type into the teleprompter.
One more thing…I usually don’t comment on local politics, but there was one person I would like to urge you to vote for. Monica Gordo is running for Judge in Miami-Dade County. I worked with her while she was a gang prosecutor in the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. She would make a great judge and I urge those of you in Miami-Dade to vote for her.
He’s got my vote.
