An idealist
needs to use central machinery
to execute his/her personal believe
So does the preference of Federal Government
by President Obama

An practitioner
only needs to crack one challenge after another one
to improve specific aspects
With the experience of Governor
Mr. Romney see the flexibility of state
in place of fat and highly wasteful Federal Government

There are always more  beneficiaries in one than the other
it all comes down which one you believe
a more charismatic idealist
or a more assertive practitioner

A more private business initiative would save and prosper
a more pushy Federal Goverment would only spend more of our money
