Ann Romney: Mitt showed the 'deepest part of his soul' in speech

If that was 'the deepest part of his soul' then it was pretty shallow:

Ann Romney on Friday said her husband’s personal — and at times emotional — speech to the Republican National Convention showed voters “the deepest part of his soul.”


Appearing on several news networks the morning after the GOP candidate accepted his party’s presidential nomination, Ann Romney said she couldn’t be prouder of his performance.

"This is how I see him, this is the emotional part of him that I know so well," she told NBC's "Today" show.

Mitt Romney’s speech had been anticipated as a chance for him to tell his "story" and get personal about his religion and history.

At one point in his speech, the Republican candidate choked up when he spoke about how his father — former Michigan Gov. George Romney — left a rose for his mother every morning at her bedside throughout their marriage.

Mittens, your dad also stood up to conservatives in his party and released twenty years of his taxes.

I disagree, Ann. The deepest part of Mitt's soul is his tax returns. JBoy Aug 2012 #2

It made me sick but I'm a flaming Liberal.

Wonder how those undecideds and Independents thought of the performance?

The agenda is this. "Look, my father was white. I am obviously not a Muslim. I was born in America with my American father." etc. etc. etc. This was not just the "gee, like me!" thing. It was their way to show how "other" President Obama is. Don't think for a minute it was anything BUT that.
