Sunday night’s interviews with President Obama and Mitt Romney on “60 Minutes” were more interesting than the norm. Perhaps because they ran in succession, or perhaps because they amounted to a preview of next week’s first Presidential debate, they provided an illuminating portrait of the two candidates, and why one is leading the other. Obama performed his usual shtick as the last reasonable man in Washington, a dogged defender of the ordinary American. Romney, despite acknowledging his own slip-ups and making some substantive points on entitlement reform, came across as a heartless rich guy.
