According to Ann



According to Ann Romney, “This is hard and, you know, it’s an important thing that we’re doing right now and it’s an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt’s qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country."  One has to wonder whether Ann has actually seen the results of Mitt’s qualifications and experience on his campaign for the office of President of the United States.  During his campaign for the Republican nomination, the press was loaded with examples of misstatements and what his Republican opponents called outright lies.  Then, there is the continuing question of his tax returns.  Should one be considered qualifies for the office of President is that person pays a lower rate of federal income tax than the average wage earner?  Also, should refusal to disclose multiple years of tax returns enter into one’s presidential qualifications?   Part of the job of being President has to do with foreign policy experience and behavior.  During Romney’s European swing, he demonstrated a complete lack of skill and tact.  At virtually every stop, the foreign press commented on his ineptness.  Finally, there is the campaign, itself.  Romney is the “CEO” of the Romney for President campaign and according to many in his party, he is failing at this task.  Virtually all of the Republican “talking heads” are commenting on how badly he is doing as a campaigner.  Most blame Romney, himself, for the poor results of his campaign to date.  Perhaps it is not without irony that Ann Romney points to “Mitt’s qualification and experience” nor is it without irony the lack of better results as a result of “Mitt’s qualification and experience”.
