From a biopic on Old Money: The question Romney's parents should have asked.
Some years ago, I saw a biopic about the Krupp-dynasty, one of the richest german families of the 20th century and owners of the nationwide dominating company in the metal-industry for more than half a century.

When thinking about Mitt Romney, a question from this mini-series comes to my mind.
The scene was as follows:
The son, about ten years old, is home-schooled by the best teachers money can buy. One day he meets other kids on the street and makes friends with them. He asks his parents, if he could attend a normal school, like all the other children.
That day, late in the evening, the parents talk about what to do.
The mother scoffs at the idea that HER son, the designated heir to an industrial empire, would mix with children of lower class.
Throughout the whole tirade the father just sits quietly in his armchair, brooding. Finally he asks in a low voice:
"If he doesn't learn to get along with his classmates, how is he supposed to command people one day?"
That's the point about Mitt Romney's character:
Has he learned to get along with other people?
Does he have what it takes to be a good leader?
