An Obama ad attacks Romney for outsourcing jobs to China and India when
he worked with Bain Capital. While this may be just the usual political
nonsense it does raise a real question: How does a citizen show he is
prepared to be President? Certainly there are differences between the
regular world and the rarefied political one. Obama's main achievement
has been the murder of bin Laden; how does Romney show he is of similar
stuff? Does he have to kill a national enemy? Or just order it?
The
unspoken truth of the matter is that we pick a President based on
appearance, acting ability and debating skills. Reagan wasn't an
aberration, he was the fulfillment of the system. We used to be so rich that it did not matter who we elected, as long as he was sane.
We now may have to be more discerning.
