Romney Painted Himself As PresidentialObama showed his Biden like quality of interrupting which does not play well with certain voters. BO talked down to Romney - "We now have ships called aircraft carriers and submarines".  This is not presidential.  BO continued to PERSONALLY attack Romney - Also not presidential.  Romney made sure that he pointed this out to the American people. They will equate this to BO and how divided Congress is.  Romney pointed out how he worked across the isle with 87% Democrats while he was governor. These are undisputed on the record facts that cannot be twisted by the Chicago campaign. Libya A Non IssueLibya was a key areas that BO was expecting a fight. He would have brought up how Romney was trying to politicize this. He could not attack Romney on this issue and now it will be hard to use it in his final campaign push because Romney did not make it an issue. At times, BO was visibly angry in his attacks on Romney. In his closing statement (Romney), he was calm and confident and laid out his case.Politicians vs Business LeadersThe difference between a politician and a business leader is stark.  Politicians are so used to campaigning and fighting in the gutter that this becomes there means to any goal they have.  Their biggest goal is to be re-elected. That goal starts the first day of their term.  A business leader knows that if he/she does not perform, they will be replaced.  They know they have to work with the opposition to move the company or their operation or division forward.  A true leader, does not point the finger to why he/she was not successful but he points to what actions they took to move toward the goal. A true leader makes goals clear and concise and simple to understand and then gets out of the way of the folks who need to implement the action plan.  He is there to train, support and give guidance.  A true leader holds his team accountable and makes replacements when necessary. When things are not working, a real leader make course corrections and changes the action plans as often as needed to reach the goal.</blockquote>
