Romney Critics & Supporters

Romney critics are concerned that he cannot possibly understand the plight of the average American. Romney supporters think his personal success is an asset for a president. Both positions are short sighted.

Personal success does not translate into an ability to implement good policy. I wouldn't want a president who treats the country like a corporate acquisition.

You don't need to have lived like the average American in order to be empathetic to them, or be able to implement policies that protect and enable them.
