What is a Mitt Romney?

A Mitt is an extremely tall, incredibly stiff and very white man - also a Mormon. That isn't something I look forward to seeing as the head of our country. Does he have another name or is that it? I don't know what qualifies him to be our president. His past record stinks as far as I'm concerned. His years at Bain Capital made most of his 200 million fortune. I don't understand leveraged buy-outs and that sort of business venture, but I do know that many of his dealings made him much money but caused businesses to fail and go bankrupt, thus causing many people to lose jobs. He always talks about how he created jobs during this time there, but fails to mention the adverse effect that created the job losses under his leadership. I've noticed his way of trying to fit into his surroundings. When in the south or midwest, he wears jeans and eats the kind of food that he probably wouldn't touch otherwise. He talks like the country people there in a manner I find condescending.

I wonder if he ever cuts loose and has a drink with the guys or goes out dancing just for the heck of it. But I guess Mormons don't dance if there are sexual overtones in the dancing which is what dancing is all about. And I know they don't drink. What does Mitt do for fun? He probably can't see an R rated movie or watch raunchy television. What a drab life! Even Republicans are thinking he should loosen up a little and stop being so combative and dark. He should be running for president, not trying to knock the actual president down. He seems so angry at Obama. Is he afraid to talk about his past and all the money he has, some of which was not earned in a good way? Why can't he make up his mind about something and then stick to it. 

He was chosen as one of the 100 most influential people in the country by "Time" magazine last week. I'm sorry they picked him, but no one asked for my opinion. I'm sure I could have come up with a much better candidate . . . possibly someone who hadn't cost people their jobs or someone who didn't strap their dog on top of their car and then drive hundreds of miles.  "Time" had a short piece written about him by Bill Bain, CEO of Bain & Co. He was gushing about Mitt throughout the piece and he did mention something I found hilarious. When Mitt first started working for Bain, he would come into work so early he even beat Bill Bain who had always been the first to arrive. So Bain one day told Mitt he was pissing him off, and when Mitt asked why he told him. Mitt says the reason he's so early is because he gets up and helps his wife with their kids, then goes and visits the sick people from his church

and then comes to work. I don't know how that made him come to work early unless he didn't sleep at night . . . . ever. Will he do that if he becomes our president? I'm sure there are many sick Mormons in DC.

I see where broadcasters are interviewing Ann Romney and depicting her as almost a saint. We know she has MS and had breast cancer at one time with radiation which she says really laid her low. I had breast cancer surgery and radiation and I drove myself to all the appointments and kept going as usual. I have many of the same symptoms she has but I can't take equine therapy as she does because I don't have the money her dear husband does to provide the horse or therapy. I don't have any place to keep a horse where I live as I'm not in the 1% like they are with their three mansions and elevator for their many Cadillacs. I'm hoping Mitt doesn't build his run for the White House around his wife and what a special person she is. But I'm afraid that's just exactly what is going to happen.
