Mitt Romney is a winner.
“Mitt the Twit.” –The Sun.
Romney is a good person, good husband, good father, intelligent, well-educated, wealthy; he has been successful in everything he has ever attempted in life.
How?
“Mitt Romney Would ‘Respect’ Israel strike on Iran.” -msnbc.
“Romney Pulls Back from Aggressive Statement on Iran.” –Washington Post.
“In Jam, Romney Tries Not to Make New Iran Policy.” –Businessweek.
Well, how hard can that be? How hard is it “NOT to make new Iran policy?” How does somebody so accomplished get himself into “jams” so often?
Romney wants the presidency so bad his teeth hurt. He is wound so tight he can’t think straight. Have you ever noticed his eyes when he is being interviewed? They dart, bore, flicker, never at ease; his mind is going a million miles an hour and he can scarcely keep it all in. He is intense and disciplined; so intense and so disciplined that he over-thinks and becomes undisciplined. This excellent adventure overseas was planned down to the last detail. First stop, London. During the Olympics. Perfect. Romney is intent on playing up his experience in every utterance he makes so when he did his interview with Brian Williams of NBC Romney knew just what to say, he would weave in his experience with the Salt Lake City Olympics and talk about the London Olympics. He had done his homework just like the A+ student he was, read his briefing papers, talked knowledgably…and then “Mitt Romney’s Setting a New Olympic Record for Gaffes” -Star-Ledger.
He was so down in the details that he lost the forest for the trees.
Hasn’t this whole foreign trip come across as missing the forest for the trees, as being presumptuous? He’s not the president yet, he’s not a presidential emissary, he’s not a governmental official, he’s not even officially the Republican nominee yet. And yet, there he was meeting with Prime Minister Cameron (and conspicuously being photographed with No. 10 Downing Street in the background), meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu today and presumably to meet with the Polish Prime Minister later in the trip.
Romney wants this so badly that he's trying too hard and annoying even those friendly to him, like the “Republican” Prime Minister of Great Britain, like American conservatives, before whom he described himself as “severely conservative.” It just does not come out right when Romney says it, like when he said “I’m not concerned about the very poor.” He didn’t mean that and the context shows he didn’t mean that but that’s how it came out of his mouth. He had to walk that one back too. Like his father saying he had been “brainwashed” on Vietnam. George Romney didn’t mean that literally either. It still ended his hopes for the GOP nomination in 1968. Voters didn’t think they knew George Romney after that. Just like his son.
