It was clear that President Obama was
Presidential, whereas Mitt Romney was his same old arrogant, bossy,
and rude self.
Regardless, how one feels about Romney,
there is no excuse for disrespecting the President of the United
States as Romney did during the second debate.
As Lipton, correctly identified, there
were two people in the debate. A President, i.e. Mr. Obama, and a
Boss, i.e. Romney.
There is a big difference between a
President and a Boss. From the board-room, Romney can bully the
employees, demand obedience, deny-health care and equal pay. He can
enjoy firing people and sell-out his employees and transfer jobs
overseas when it would put more money in his pocket.
A President, on the other-hand, must
represent all the people, all the time. While he can replace his
political employees, he cannot fire civil servants on a whim, nor can
he deny equal pay for equal work. Most importantly, a President must
understand that economics is more than a profit and loss sheet, and
diplomacy requires an understanding of other cultures, and that we
are a nation of mixed races, and cultures how minorities.
A President knows there is a difference between the private sector and the govenment, and knows what those difference are and how to address those difference. Romney hasn't a clue.
It was inexcusable for Romney to treat
the President-of-the-United States, as he were simply a low income
worker, of a different race, who dared to disagree with him and his
opinions as he did during the Tuesday debate.
Romney acted the same way, during the first debate, and his behavior is disgraceful. We need a President, not a boss.
