The larger context is even funnier.

The title of Mitt Romney's new book, "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness," is a not-so-subtle jab at the visits President Obama made overseas when he first took office, derided by the Right as the "American Apology Tour."

Mitt Romney has published a new book, "No Apology: the Case for American Greatness," which sets the stage for a second presidential run in 2012. He is shown here as he addresses a forum of the Foreign Policy Initiative at the W Hotel September 21, 2009 in Washington, D.C. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)Romney's book as a whole, however, may best be remembered not for the contrasts it offers with the incumbent president but for the contrasts it presents with "Going Rogue," the best-selling memoir of Sarah Palin, a potential Romney rival for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
Where Palin's book is a mix of score settling and juicy anecdotes, Romney's book consists of a 64-point plan for strengthening the United States and countless references to what he has been reading. Palin's book titillated audiences with her take on her husband without his shirt on ("Dang, I thought. Divorce Todd? Have you seen Todd?").
Romney's readers, by contrast, will have to make do with his take on the decline of the Ottoman Empire and other great powers (easy money and a lack of innovation did them in, in case you were wondering).
This is not to say that Romney's book is free of anecdotes
In between his policy prescriptions and reflections on world history, the former Massachusetts governor shares his distaste for weeding, his displeasure with one of his son's teachers, and the discomfort of his presidential campaign aides when he would discuss

I quite frankly haven’t seen the candidate, for any party in the last 18 years that deserves my picking up a pen and writing a check to, let alone voting for. I gave up on the Republicans when GW decided to spend record amounts. What is to say they won’t do so again when in the “command center”.
>>>For universal health care before he was against it????<<<
Isn’t he for it again? He’s been singing the praises of his RomneyCare socialized medicine program.
So I gueess he was “For socialized medicine, before he was against it, before he was for it?” Mitt is the only man alive who could soundly thrash John Kerry in a flip flopping contest.

Mitt, if you get the nomination you will get my vote. I will however work, fight, scratch and donate throughout the primaries to ensure that never has to happen.
That is interesting. I always thought it was because they spent too much time on their sofas, with their feet up. :-)
To ABC News and other leftists who want to manipulate the Republican 2012 primaries: READ MY TAGLINE.
“I will never again vote for a posser.”
What is a “posser?”
Oh dear, another RINO alert. Boring. Obama’s won re-election already.
“Mitt, if you get the nomination you will get my vote.”
That as much as invites the pubby elite to continue nominating RINO losers.
Mitt, if you get the nomination, I will vote for Satan himself if he is the Demonrat nominee.
Pubbies, listen up: NO MORE RINOs. PERIOD. EVER. Or you will NEVER, EVER win another election for anything, not even dog catcher of Chatahoochee, Tennessee.
Maybe a misspelled word. Someone who is not what he/she/it claims.
If Romney truly cares about this country he won’t run in 2012.
I will walk over broken glass before I vote for that guy.
It’s time for conservatives and Tea Party adherents to take over the GOP. When we do it, Mitt Romney won’t have a seat at our table. We want him to remain a private citizen.
NO MORE RINO'S. Period.
The larger context is even funnier.
I believe the rest of my post (which you chose to ignore) exemplifies my feelings about the man. Problem is, in a choice between Mitt and Obama, Mitt is nominally better. Hell, there are DEMOCRATS that would be better, so that isn’t saying much for Mitt.
Agreed. I don’t trust him.
Mr. “I support abortion, gay rights and goobermint controlled healthcare” ?
Take a hike, Mitt. We don’t want any.
“Maybe a misspelled word. Someone who is not what he/she/it claims.”
OH! I’m sorry. I think you might have mean’t “poser” as in “someone who pretends to be someone or something that they are not.”
You are quite correct in your assessment.
