It is shallow thinking, but it’s not as anybody in the MSM is savy enough to correct him. To most people Pubs are the party of the Rich and Dens of the Little Guy. And that’s the way this “scandal” is thoughtlessly being spinner: Romney caught in rich guy lovenest complaining about those pesky poors. If they knew what they were doing they’d say he’s right for the wrong reasons or wrong for the right reasons, or whatever.
Anyway, Obama says gaspingly ignorant things about our basic system of government, let alone economic minutiae, every day. And while both stir up class warfare, Obama does it flagrantly in front of Greek columns on prime time tv, as opposed to Mitt’s small talk behind closed doors. This shouldn’t be a one day story, let alone a campaign shaking scandal.
And no, he is not shallow for a guy who’s been running for 20 years. Who do you think gets to be president? Not philosophers, or at least not since Jefferson. Wilson was a professor and wrote political science, but no one reads it anymore. Obama is nade out to be a constitutional law scholar, but I’ve heard him from the old days. I can tell why he became a community organizer. They’re politicians, not thinkers.
I’ve read Reagan the Great’s old radio addresses, and they show remarkable insight for someone in his position. You know, actor, union rep, GM pr guy, radio announcer. Not an intellectual. Shows he took the time to think things through, but next to the luminaries of our movement, some of whom he met and was informed by, he deserved at most an “attar boy, now go upstairs while the big boys talk.”
Reagan was a deep and complex thinker, and an avid reader , a brilliant man, a man who earned his college degree in economics, and he brought that depth and intelligence to everything that he did, that is why people kept seeking him, even in Hollywood to settle union disputes, it is why he could breeze through 4 Soviet leaders and change the world and has an historical record of a life spent always prevailing, always winning, and appearing effortless when doing it, although we learn from his SS details that as soon as the public or visitors went away, that Reagan went directly to study or to work, or reading.
No one sent Reagan away with an atta boy.
Romney on the other hand is a shallow man, out of touch, an untalented politician, with no complex thinking and no seeming knowledge of or interest in life outside of his little world, that is why he is always caught flat-footed, is awkward and seems to be speaking with difficulty or memorization when addressing conservative issues, or global issues, or again, anything out of his tiny personal experience in life.
Romney has little to show for his 20 years of running for office, and always spending record breaking amounts of money on his campaigns, he has a single term, won by less than 50%, and left that office with no chance of reelection, and being forced out with a 34% approval rating.
Romney better turn this campaign over to someone with leadership skills and know how, who can instruct and guide Romney, someone who can create an image that Romney has a reason for running for president, because so far, no one really knows what his campaign is about or his politics, or why he even wants the job so bad.
