I think this article is probably true. A lot of voters want their government to "care about them" and a lot of voters think Obama is just the guy for that role.

1) I do not want my government to take care of me. It bothers me that 47% of the people want to mooch off of 53% of the people. Romney was correct when he tried to explain that a workable society creates conditions where people can successfully take care of themselves.

2) In terms of personality, I think Romney really does care about people. His personal history has genuine examples of this. He is a caring man -- which is part of the reason why he wants government to back off. On the other hand, I sincerely believe that Obama has a damaged soul and does not care about anyone but himself. But he seems able to hide this from weak-minded fools pretty well.

“It bothers me that 47% of the people want to mooch off of 53% of the people.”

It’s worse than that, because another 10% (or more) want to work running the looting and vote buying mechanisms.

Romney lacked the wit to attack the bureaucrat/foundation/academic iron triangle that is ruining the country.

Being part of the government for many years let me disabuse anybody here of the stupid idea that gub'mnt can or even wants to care about you.

What a bizarre question!
