Serioulsy sophisticated. lol His handlers and marketing and public relations people better be careful lest the public gt the impression that this is the extent and summary of his abilities and knowledge.
"I know there's an effort by some people to try and bring as much confusion to the topic of Medicare as possible, but I want to bring as much clarity as possible," Romney said.

When Romney was Governor of MA he refused to use public funds for his inauguration and did not take a salary from 2003-2007 while in office.
"The final price tag for the inaugural celebrations was the highest in the history of the Commonwealth—$750,000—but for the first time all events, including the $40-per-plate gala, were entirely funded by donations from supporters and corporate sponsors. The decision to refuse public funds for the ceremonies came on the heels of Romney and Healy’s pledge to forgo their salaries for the duration of their terms."

Are you kidding me? The salary of Massachusetts' governor ranks 16th among U.S. governors' salaries. The average salary earned by U.S. governors is $128,735. The median salary earned by U.S. governors is $129,962
And MITT IS WORTH 250 MILLION DOLLARS.
Do you comprehend that number? 250 MILLION DOLLARS.
Tell me he dontated his salary to a chartiy and I would maybe, be just a tad impressed by his magnamous generosity and concern for the public. Homeless / womens shelters, drug rehabilitation centers, childrens health care clinics, special education centers for the handicapped etc. etc. that are funded by the public, or not.
Im sure there are not shortages of worthy causes struggling and always begging for funds to keep their doors open.
That would have been approxmiately $428,000 over the course of 4 years.
And my question is .... Why was Mitts inaguration so special that it was the first ever such expensive inaguration in the history of the Commonwealth?
And btw, governerships are among the usual stepping stones to a predsidency....Galadriel: "I amar prestar aen. Han mathon ne nen. Han mathon ne chae. A han noston ne 'wilith. "Translation: "The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air."
