Mitt Romney’s has a definite “Nixon Problem.”







Let’s start out by stating CLEARLY; Mitt Romney by all accounts, is a good man, both publicly and privately.

However, Mitt in his zeal to become POTUS is moving away from what he ideologically is, a slightly right of center wealthy, consensus-building politician who was born to privilege and never looked back.

Mitt, as with every other American, should perceive that there is nothing wrong with his station in life, or for that matter where he began. Wealth is not a disease and being born the son of a public servant, most likely gives one a certain insight to the lives of citizens in a beneficial way.

Although, as a matter of prudence, it might be advantageous to not highlight the years at Bain Capital, as a point of pride, it must be said that Bain is a legal, enterprise and while Romney was employed there, he was doing business in the acceptable manner of the times.

Romney’s Nixon Problem” stems from the similarity of his rise, to that of the "public" Richard Nixon. That public image of President Nixon overtook the real Richard Nixon.
