Why Mitt Romney Is Like Barack Obama
When it comes to the big issues of the day, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney aren’t very far apart.
When President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney square off at the debate podium in the fall of 2012, it might be harder than you think to tell the two of them apart.
They’re both Harvard lawyers. They’re both millionaires and devoted family men. As a college student, Romney completed a requisite Mormon mission. Obama famously got his start as a community organizer—the rough equivalent for young, politically ambitious African Americans.
Both look like presidents straight out of central casting—tall, trim and tan—with enviable salt-and-pepper gray hair connoting vitality and wisdom. Neither man has ever served in the military. Although their personal histories certainly differ, they’ve got more in common than meets the eye.
