(12,233 posts)of who he is as a person other than those that reached the media... Seems like if you are "in", then he's accepting of you.. but different isn't good. His pranks are not funny (more harmful and directed at making the other person laughed at and possibly scarred)... And he was more than willing to stuff another million dollars into a Cayman account than allow the actual workers of a company to keep their pension after his company destroyed it financially.
To me that says he doesn't have the compassion nor temperament to be a leader of any country. He certainly didn't do a great job in MA as Governor. I think he lacks empathy. He cannot relate to people who his company destroyed. And he's willing to lie about anything and everything; so there is less trustworthiness of him than most politicians (and that's not saying much based on most politicians).
On that basis, I can't see electing him. I think he would finish destroying the country where Mr. Bush last left off. And that I'm left of Obama.. more like Bernie Sanders when it comes to issues (or at least what is said out loud... for all I know Mr. Obama is being practical in a situation where anything he tries to do is blocked).
