This book is interesting, easy to read, and neutral.
Despite the fact that I have been very busy, I found this book interesting enough to read quickly. Writing a review has been another matter.
This book begins with Romney's ancestors starting with nothing, working hard, and becoming successful. That includes Romney's father, George. Although Mitt has never had to worry about money, he has worked hard.
Mitt attended Stanford, went on a 2 year mission for the LDS Church, finished his undergraduate degree at BYU, and then went to Harvard where he obtained his MBA and law degree.
The highlights of the book: Bain, Romney's family, Romney's relationship to the LDS Church, the Olympics, Romney's political career.
As I was reading this book and keeping up with the current political news, I often thought of the TV show "Survivor" where contestants form alliances and curry favor with groups. It gives you a headache after awhile.
Ever since Obama took office and ramped up the Bush policies of rapidly increasing the deficit and national debt, I have thought, "We could have had Ron Paul and he never would have passed all of the burdensome spending and he would have reigned in the power of the Fed. And why would Obama pursue Afghanistan?"
Yes, I know this book review is not about Ron Paul.
While Ron Paul has some great ideas, he is not going to get the nomination.
I had hopes for Herman Cain. How smart can you be if you try to run with his skeletons?
Newt took $1.6 million from Freddie. Is there a bigger symptom of what is wrong with our politicians? Sure he can get on the stage and deliver some powerful blows, but he can't understand the problem with taking money from Freddie?
I have heard some good interviews awhile ago from Rick, but he is totally played by the press and the left. Oh I forgot press=left. I could care less about anyone's personal choice on BC. I do think forcing the Catholic Church to go against their ethics is wrong from a Constitutional point of view. Also the more mandates for insurance, the higher the price tag. Isn't that the opposite of the goal?
So, that leaves Romney, who keeps saying the oddest things. I'm probably the only person with this hope: Romney may not have enough delegates going into the convention. Given his friendship with Ron Paul (even their spouses are friends), they throw in together. Romney becomes president, and Ron Paul keeps him in check concerning war, the Fed, spending, the Constitution, etc.

Even if you don't share my political leanings, you may find this book interesting. Read it, but if you aren't interested in politics, watch some video clips on the riots in Greece. Why? Because it could be our future. Now is the time to change course!
