(20,453 posts)... It was obvious that privatization of education and child care, while holding the belief of mothers and fathers "having to work, whether they wanted to or not", both in the home, was the only reality Romney understood.
Looks like he won't have changed much from his Bain days. You could just smell the debt burden taking roots. Looking back is good.
THANKS.... I hope to see the rest later, but frankly, I can't take too much of people like Rmoney without having to hurl my Sunday brunch.

(24,721 posts)My favorite moments:
Beginning at 19:10 (question to Romney regarding his resume & about what skills he has that would make him an effective senator, then a follow-up question regarding gridlock in Washington. Note how phony Romney's answers were; he can lie without blinking an eye.)
Romney's answer to the next question is just as phony as the last two. It really makes you want to gag.
But the lady who speaks @ 23:54 was a hoot & it was obvious she didn't like Romney. And if looks could kill -- you just have to see her face to really appreciate it. She was so real & cantankerous; if she'd been allowed to do all the questioning, this video could have gone viral.
Knowing now that Romney is a life-imitates-art example of Gordon Gekko, I was fascinated by the degree of deceit & phoniness in his answers.
One other observation: Compared to eight years ago, Romney now seems much more ill-at-ease, awkward, & unprepared in his presidential campaign. He looked somewhat stiff & wooden back then in 1994, but he looks even more so now. The way he smiles all the time, many times inappropriately, kind of reminds me of Reagan (who, we later learned, was showing signs of Alzheimer's during his presidency). I wonder if there might be something to Ann Romney's comment about his emotional well-being.
Thanks for the clip!
