I hate it when the media takes things out of context, and I hate it even more when we Freepers do the same.
Romney’s son Tag did not say that Romney did not want to be president. He obviously did. He ran two times for the office.
Tag said there was no one who wanted the presidency less than his father did. That harkens to a sense of duty and service. Yes, he desired to be president, but it was not an obsession as it was with Clinton.
The word ‘less’ has a significant syntactical meaning in Tag’s statement. Of all the people running for president, no one wanted it less. It doesn’t mean he didn’t want to be president. It just means his desire was less than the rest thus implying that his dad was running out of duty to save this country economically and not for personal gain or fame and glory.
I do not know the actual extent of Romney’s presidential yearnings, but I do know how to read syntactical sentences.
Taken in that context, that means that’s an even bigger falsehood. That whole family lies like a rug. Willard has been obsessed with the Presidency since his dad was shot down in 1968. I have no hesistation in saying there is no one in the Republican Party who was more covetous of the Presidency than Willard. No one.
