Mitt Romney is now officially taking on Obama for the presidential race. This calls for the media to jump all over both candidates to try to weaken their good points and focus on some negative decisions/attributes. The funny thing about my word choice just now was that depending on what party you side with, you will look more harshly on just how "negative" those decisions each candidate made were. As farm as a side link I found in the Huffington Post, it had a side link to a local posting site for La Jolla, California. As far as I am concerned this was one of those articles that was aiming right at Romney to try to post a negative image of him.
Romney has a house out there in La Jolla, and he decided to renovate his house to the point where it is six times the average Americans. Does that really matter? Does that make him more or less capable to hold the presidency? The answer is no and I believe that this was a weak attempt to tarnish Romney's image. The truth of the matter is that the media and author of this article downplayed Romney's importance and character. Whether they were doing it purposely or not the rhetoric used causes people to change their opinion or have it questioned simply because the author decides to pose the candidate in a specific manner. It comes with politics but it shouldn't be the focus of importance.
