A Midas touch doesn't help out the people but helps out the individual. Which is what we don't need as a president. Just as Bush, when he went into Iraq because Saddam threatened his father. That was personal as well and wasn't meant to help out our own. But as it is we are still cleaning up the mess Bush made in the Middle East. I don't see any difference in Romney.
