Obama and Romney: two different Americas

Obama and Romney: two different Americas
Posted on May 15, 2012

It’s not Bain’s duty to care about whether jobs are created or lost. But a plausible response to that statement is, well, do we want a guy who spent two-plus decades in the private sector not caring about whether he was creating or destroying jobs–but making jillions for himself while doing it–to be the president of the United States? Fair question. There are lots of Americans who don’t want a former community organizer as president. We’ve heard from them. But there are surely also a lot of Americans who don’t want a hedge-fund man as president. As with, say, Obama’s unconventional upbrining versus Romney’s quite conventional one, the two men represent and symbolize very different Americas.
