Race and religion as a quiet issue for both candidates in the 2012 U.S. presidental candidates, with Obama and Romney both reticent and unwilling to talk about the defining aspect of their lives fearing voter prejudice.
Race and religion in the 2012 U.S. presidential election- Obama and Romney
01/18/2009
Both candidates prefer reticence about defining aspects of their lives fearing voter prejudice. The election campaigns of both sides leave out identity politics. Both campaigns also prefer to keep Romney's record managing the 1999 winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and as the governor of Massachusetts out of the public view for different reasons. This adds to the sense of aloofness of both candidates, one a professor and the other a business executive, who were distant to begin with.

Obama and a Rorschach test presidency.
01/18/2009
The tendency of Obama as Presidential candidate to have all kinds of people project their hopes on him was how this Rorschach test phenomenon worked. This does not work well in the Oval Office. As one columnist puts it, in the President's office people tend to project their fears on Obama instead.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
