Happy Friday! I am Lance Pisowicz and this is “What’s Wrong
With Washington”. This will be the only

begin. Please do check out my website,

I have a
couple of key topics that I would like to highlight tonight, but for now I
would like to take a moment to honor the victims of the Colorado movie theater
shooting early Friday morning. It
saddens me to think that something as simple and innocent as going to see a
movie can end in horror. My thoughts and
prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult
time. I also am confident in our
judicial system that those responsible will be brought to justice, and that God
will be glorified through the entire process.
To begin with
our coverage for tonight, I would like to discuss something that has been
blowing up my Twitter feed much of this week.
I have had the privilege of receiving insider information from a Mitt
Romney campaign intern in regards to who his Vice President choice might
be. From what I have heard, the known
finalists are Rob Portman (Senator from Ohio), Tim Pawlenty (former Minnesota
Governor), and Bobby Jindal (Louisiana Governor). I have also heard rumors about John Thune
(Senator from South Dakota) possibly being the “dark horse” in the whole
process. Although, GOP favorites Marco
Rubio (Senator from Florida), Paul Ryan (Congressman from Wisconsin), and
Condoleezza Rice (former Secretary of State) might also surprise us as well.
Now that we’ve
taken a look at the potential vice presidential candidates let’s take a look at
the two guys who are running for president.
Both President Obama and Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney have been
trading jabs in many different categories as the November elections
approach. One of the key battles has
been over “you didn’t build that” remark President Obama made recently in
regard to entrepreneurs and business owners.1 So I must ask the president: Who built it then?
President
Obama has claimed that the remark was aimed at showing that government has
helped make business success possible.
However, Mitt Romney has said that the president’s remark was a direct
insult to small business owners, entrepreneurs, and thinkers throughout the
nation.
Some have
called this statement a pivotal point in the 2012 elections, and it has played
a role in Mitt Romney now leading President Obama 45-43 percent in a recent ABC
News Poll according to Hannity on July 19th.2
Will
statements like this, ever-increasing gas prices, and an 8.2 unemployment rate
doom President Obama in November? Only
time will tell.
That will be
it for us tonight. For those of you
wondering about the Ultimate Patriot competition and sweepstakes, I encourage
you to visit the official website of the event at: www.wix.com/lancejp/patriot
for more information. There you will
find documents, links, a promo video, and a whole lot more. By the way, the entire event is free and you
have the opportunity to win a $25 Restaurants.com E-Gift Certificate if you
participate. I hope you’ll join us with
that.
I hope you
have enjoyed our broadcast tonight, as much as I have. Thanks again, and God bless you all. I will see you one last time (Sunday) before
I leave for my vacation in Florida. Have
a great weekend!
