Romney vs Palin

I have discovered that Willard Romney is now promoting a new book. (I wonder who wrote it for him.) Several people have speculated that it’s more of a campaign outline than an autobiography or something actually worth reading. His book tour schedule is much like that of being on the campaign trail. It is of no surprise to me, given what a self-centered, extra-huge narcissistic political hack this former private sector businessman has become. If he didn’t get the message in 2008 that the voters just don’t want him to be president, then perhaps he’s the one Rahm Emanuel was referring to a few weeks back, if you know what I mean. After blowing $40 million of his own personal wealth on a losing campaign, he ought to start a company in the private sector whose goal is to genuinely help people in some way. Instead, Willard Romney wants to have a lot of power over a lot of people and be the object of adoration by the masses, as Obama has been.

There is a big difference between this new book by Willard Romney and Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue. One is the insignificant scribblings of an old hasbeen-and-shouldn’t-be political hack, and the other is a genuine autobiographical tome by a genuine citizen-turned-government reformer-turned-citizen with probably no further political ambitions.
