A tale of two candidates

America, do you know what your presidential candidates were doing this week? Compare and contrast. After hosting a barbecue for 1,200 veterans on Independence Day, President Obama was comforting a sobbing woman he met on the road who thanked him for passing the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare if you prefer. She recently lost her sister to colon cancer because the sister couldn't afford health insurance. [photo via]

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney was riding in his boat in New Hampshire, where he is spending a couple of weeks at one of his mansions.

Think that pretty much says it all.
