Romney's true colors revealed in crisis

The only good thing coming from the horrifying violence around the globe is it exposed the real Mitt Romney. At the New Yorker, John Heilemann nails Unfit Mitt's character flaws.

That the left heaped scorn on Romney’s gambit came as no surprise. But the right reacted almost as harshly—with former aides to John McCain, George W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan creating an on-the-record chorus of disapproval, while countless other Republican officials and operatives chimed in anonymously. “This is worse than a Lehman moment,” says a senior GOP operative. “­McCain made mistakes of impulsiveness, but this was a deliberate and premeditated move, and it totally revealed Romney’s character; it revealed him as completely craven and his candidacy as serving no higher purpose than his ambition.”

It would seem Romney wants to be President for the social status and most probably for the opportunity to develop future business contacts. I suspect he wants to resolve some Daddy issues as well. And of course, he's a vicious competitor who is obviously willing to cheat to win. It also appears he has little interest in fulfilling the responsibilites of the job, nor has he demonstrated any ability to do so. One can only hope the vast majority beyond the 27% diehard Obama haters notice as well.
