Hi Prasad, Agree that Romney comes across/has been pretty ruthless in his actions. However I have to differ on your view that a leader has to have empathy to his people. - foremost he has to be a brilliant administrator & get the job done. ie, Implement his stated policies (not change them once elected) effectively & deliver results. thats the "most important" qualification. Apart from this, if he is connects with people, shows empathy, good person/likeable, then it is great !. The issue with Obama is he has everything except for qualification & track record for this job. so it is like choosing fire or frying pan Cheers, JK
