BLAND VS SPICY DESCRIBES THE TWO DOCUMENTARIES ON ROMNEY THEN OBAMA

The video on Romney, the man and candidate for the US President, put together by Chuck Todd, is not unlike unflavored gelatin, limp, tasteless, lacking disinfection. The airing of Obama was a gourmet meal full of excitement, culinary results, and people drooling with anticipation.  Searching to hear some substance, about Romney, it would seem that he is an empty suit with a family who have benefited from all that money can buy.  It is like watching a 1950s sitcom of the perfect American family, not the politics required for today.  The title is : The Making of An American President.  Unfortunately they didn't bake him long enough nor put all the ingredients into the making.

Chris Matthews had a special on MSNBC called Making History in which he did a magnificent hob in relating the salient history necessary to understand President Obama  It might be ON DEMAND though I haven't checked it out as it seemed too soon to get the whole presentation. 

Ken Shepherd of News Busters wrote a rather scathing piece about it.  Mr. Matthews presented the long road to racial equality in the United States as necessary to forge a foundation for Obama's entry into politics. While I accept the fight for American Blacks to get into politics, I think that Obama cannot be seen neither black nor white (other than by those who are racially prejudiced and see him as a black, forgetting he is as much white as he is black.P

It seems that everyone who comments on these  two documentaries have their peeves but, if viewed as to what it says of the substance of each man, rather other aspects, it is hard to fill the empty Romney suit.
