Romney can’t articulate what we want to hear because Romney is all about business and money. If he believed in ‘America’ we’d be hearing him speak the right words.
I don’t know why Romney wants to be president. I really don’t. My sense is he’s protecting money for the finance industry. Nothing about Romney says he has a clue how the average citizen lives. Part of Clintons ‘charm’ was that he grew up like a lot of Americans did. He pulled himself up from a rocky start. Obamas narrative was cleaned up for the citizens but people think Obama was like Clinton in that way - but he wasn’t. Obama did not grow up American.
What’s Romneys goal? What’s his vision for America? Who does he think Americans are? What is good about America? I betcha he couldn’t answer those questions without a focus group. Everything about him feels managed and forced.
Your post #166 is absolutely on target, Carmody. Excellent job. Bullseye. Thanks.
