Mitt Romney took advantage of a recent visit to Naples to meet with the View at its Winter Quarters, in an obvious effort to garner whatever sage political advice he might find in anticipation of a presidential run in 2012. Well, maybe we are guilty of a little exaggeration here, but Mitt did come to town and we did have the chance for a chat, albeit briefly, with the man who may well be our next pres.
Mitt was actually in town to promote his new book, "No Apology". The View caught up with him at the local Barnes & Nobles where he gave a brief talk before signing copies. We will have plenty of time to draw comparisons over the next two years, but we couldn't help but draw the distinction between this attractive and accomplished former governor with the putative wunderkind presently occupying the Oval Office where he, unencumbered by any private sector experience(and frankly, his public sector experience is a little on the thin side) is flogging everyone in sight to buy into his efforts at converting The United States to a socialist waste land. We would like to believe that Americans are too smart for this blarney.
When our turn came and Mitt was signing our copies, we told him that we came from the Bay State and he asked what part. When we told him that we lived in Plymouth, I thought I caught a glint of calculation in his eye. No doubt, Mitt was already thinking ahead to all those cabinet positions that he will have to fill, once elected. Okay. okay, perhaps we are reading a little bit more into this brief exchange, but we will definitely enjoy the book and look forward to 2012.
