I do not want Mitt Romney for president, much as I find Obama to be a complete waste of the past several years, but, on the other hand, he isn't Michele Bachmann and he isn't George Bush.<br /><br />Bush came to the White House pretending he would be a "CEO". Many of us noted that he was an appalling CEO when he was a CEO and, no surprises here, he was an appalling president, the worst in history, as president. At least Mittens is a successful businessman.<br /><br />Romney is completely untrustworthy, out of touch with the mass of people, selfish, privileged, and under the spell of conservative economic philosophy (to be sure, that philosophy has served him very well personally and, by being out of touch, he doesn't comprehend how it has not served the majority of Americans), but he isn't the massive disaster that Bush was, that Palin and Bachmann and Perry and others would have been. And at least he can be persuaded if it appears that the general welfare also is good for him.<br /><br />I don't want Romney, but he doesn't send me into a cold sweat the way the thought of others in the White House does.DBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182965443810437028noreply@blogger.com
