McCain inspires disunity
by Bob1995156

McCain inspires division. Remember when his presidential campaign imploded? I can't think of a more glaring example of bad leadership, of bad interpersonal management skills. How good a manager could he be when his top lieutenants not only quit him, but went to his rival camp? In my book, good leaders inspire loyalty and unity (re: Obama.)

Obama doesn't have it all, either. He's a senator. Senators are good at speaking (who's better than Obama?) but a president is an executive, not merely a debater. There's more to the presidency than merely having the right opinion and opposing those who are wrong. As noble as this is, an executive has to be so much more capable, so much more nimble, so much more accomplished.

I''m afraid that Senators aren't cut out to be presidents. Governors are. I'm afraid McCain in the White House would inspire the same disunity as he did in his campaign. He doesn't know any other way to be. I've cheered him on in the good fight as long as I've known of him----but that doesn't make him the appropriate choice to be the nation's chief executive.

For whatever faults Romney has, you have to hand it to him---the man has got a golden finger. Whatever he touches turns to gold. "By their fruits ye shall know them" and Romney has, by far, the most distinguished record of difficult acheivements.
