Some of you have said we need a CEO to run our country. Ron Kessler wrote this in an article posted on Newxmax.com:
"In selecting the CEO of a company, no one would hold a debate among candidates for the job. Instead, a search committee would look at character, which is a compass to future behavior, and competence as measured by candidates’ track records.
"The media coverage and debates have focused on anything but. Instead, they have focused on atmospherics, promises that may or may not be kept, who is ahead in the polls, and how well the candidates tell jokes and respond to questions from a snowman on YouTube."

Like Romeny, I am a Mormon too. However, I have strong political opinions and have philosophical problems with both parties. I vote independently. Party, religion, what toothpaste they use, the color of their eyes mean nothing to me. I really hate pork barrel politics and dishonesty. I also always try to vote for candidates who put their constituents first before their party loyalties. Living in South Korea I have been watching the election process from a distance and still hadn't made up my mind until I got an email and photos from my sister-in-law who has been coordinating clean-up projects in the San Diego area after the fires.
It turns out that the Fisher family is among the many victims of the terrible fires in Southern California. One evening the Fishers got a phone call from a volunteer who asked what they needed help with. The Fishers said that they had a burned out stump that needed to be removed. They guy on the hone said he would be there in the morning and would be bringing his dad. His dad turned out to be Mitt Romney. It seems Romney had meetings in California that afternoon but had some free time in the morning. These photos were taken by the Fishers - completely out of the public eye. The press didn't know anything about it because Romney didn't want it to turn into a media circus. Mr. Fisher said he tried to get Romney to stop for a breakfast burrito and some juice but Romney wouldn't stop. He said he didn't have much time and they had to get this stump removed. Here is real insight into the man's character. This guy is genuine and for real.
