Just to follow up on Broadsword2004's interesting observations - there is no magic in societal groups doing things together.

IMO, the magic of the free market system, among other things, is that a bunch of individuals (volunteers) have the initiative, self discipline, self-motivation to do things together because the system rewards it - or doesn't reward it, as the case may be.

But, not because the system makes you do it.

IMO, Obama is a statist who wants to - likes to - make you do things.

ETA: I am less clear on Romney's motivations as of yet. It is certainly not fame or money.

It might be interesting to have psych evaluations of both candidates.
