Circle of Justice

After watching the candidates’ responses to the Circle of Protection, I noted their differing views. Each one emphasizes their belief in the Circe of Protection, yet the candidates differ on how they plan to maintain the charitable circle. Obama definitely has a strong value of God, faith, and prayer (throughout his speech he mentioned these terms many times). He mentions how he prays for those in need and that our nation “is all in this together.” His word sound very supportive and he seems confident that his work thus far as president has helped maintain the Circle of Protection. In my opinion, Obama’s mission seemed to strive for charity. He believes we can help the poor by continually giving to them from our nation’s revenue. He does not want the budget cuts to be targeted at the lower class because they are the ones who need it the most. I definitely agree with the latter statement. However, I think there is a difference between giving to the poor and teaching the poor to help themselves. Romney continually emphasized a mission of justice. Unlike Obama, he did not often mention giving to the suffering. Instead, he promotes his plan to restore our economy. With a recovering economy, more jobs will be available. Less people will be on the welfare payroll and on a salary payroll. Then, the suffering Americans will have a supportive supply of money to work and feed themselves, rather then be fed off our nation’s support system (as Obama is promoting). The weakness in Romney’s plan is that some of his budget cuts may originally hurt the poor. However, after the upper class begins spending again, our growing economy may be back into full swing.
