Robert Reich Believes That Romney Versus Obama Will Lack Passion

Robert Reich explains why the likely 2012 presidential race between Romney and Obama will be unexciting to both sides. Romney is not liked by the Tea Party crowd and Obama has disappointed progressive democrats. Reich may be correct but there are things that will stir passion on both sides. Obama is hated by conservatives. Many still believe that he is not a citizen, and others can't decide whether he is a socialist, a fascist, or both. Progressives understand what it would mean to have a Republican president. Romney would have an opportunity to make the Supreme Court more conservative (if that is possible). He would also continue the attack on everything that progressives find worth fighting for in America. It will not be a contest inspired by love, but the passions will be strong on both sides.
