The confluence of my Independence Day posting on passion and my recent writing on the presidential candidates seems like they have come together. People who are not passionate about what they are doing especially in the public eye are deemed for failure. You want your political leaders to be passionate (and reasonable / practical etc).
I get the feeling that Mitt Romney is not passionate about being president (OUCH THAT WAS HARSH). I think he was passionate about working at Bain and making the Salt Lake City Olympics successful, but not this. What about Barack Obama? Well I will leave that for another day...but Mitt needs to show people his passion because in my view, he lacks it.
Amazing how people running for the highest office in the land and they lack passion.....
