I listen to Rush regularly, and he’s mentioned the meet with Romney on several occasions, but never suggests whether or not he believes Romney will followup satisfactorily. IMHO, Romney will not, he’s just not a bold politician with a conservative political core, IOW, somewhat like GWB. But, the following paragraphs are a part of the transcript from Rush’s site about his meeting with Mittsie:

“The only thing I can tell you, Ken, is that Romney came by here in January. I think it was the 13th, the middle of the month. And I met with him after the show. It was about 4:30. I met with him for almost an hour, and he left here for a huge fundraiser a mile down the road, mile and a half. And during that conversation — I’ve mentioned this to you — he said to me that he wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up being a one-term president because he’s got to shake things up. This country can’t go the direction it’s going or his children and grandchildren and nobody else’s will have a future. When he was talking about that, he sounds just like you and me.

He sounds just like you and me when we talk about it. He was very affirmative in his acknowledgement to me of the threats posed by Obama and the Democrats to this country. If you had been in that conversation, you would not have doubted his conservatism at that moment. But then you would read where he has said in years past, “Look, I’m not a conservative. I’m not one of these,” and you’d scratch your head. I’m not saying it wiped any of those other instances out. I’m just telling you that that day, he sounded like me. He was fairly echoing the fears I have about what’s in store for this country if the Democrats are not stopped. This transformation, this belief that our founding was unjust and immoral and we’ve had a fraudulent country for 200-plus years.

That it’s a country that was structured by the rich, for the rich, at the expense of everybody else. And everybody was just left to fend for themselves. And the Founders knew that most people couldn’t fend for themselves, and that was the way that the Founders kept all the goodies for themselves and their family and others in their socioeconomic class. It was all part of the plan. (This is what Obama believes.) And that it’s finally taken 200-plus years, but the evidence of the failure of the founding of this country is now clear. And Obama is the right man at the right time to finally fix it. And he’s doing it by taking away everything he can from the rich that he can.”
