The American people are faced with a decision. Do we want a President or a Boss?

I'm watching James Lipton on Tweety, and he's delivering a very ominous assessment of Mitt Romney.

First of all, he gave him 'acting' lessons, and then went on to say the man is elusive, that you never know which Romney you're going to see.

But last night, Lipton says he saw the real Romney. The Boss who when he tells a joke, looks around the room at everyone and they'd better be laughing or else. The Boss who is unpredictable and keeps everyone nervous and slightly off-kilter because you don't know what he's going to do.

Lipton then went on to say what I have in my Subject line:

Once thing is clear after last night's debate. The American people are faced with a decision. Do we want a President or a Boss?

If we elect a boss, that's exactly what we'll get. Someone who will have no qualms 'firing' people to make a profit.

Because they get people. That's their job.

I recognized what he was saying immediately, even though I couldn't articulate it the way he has.
