That is all Obama has been doing - when he isn't whining, and Romney has had to waste time parrying every one of them, rather than discuss real issues. He tried to do that when he spoke before the NAACP but got booed. He just can't win with some people but, I guess that's exactly the way you want it.
Romney doesn't engage in negative attacks. Just ask Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
