Tagg Romney: Father wanted to be president ‘less than anyone I’ve met’

[Moonwalk]

39. Nah. It wouldn't have involved work! You know Mitt had deals with all his backers...

...to put certain people in charge and let them run the country while he took vacations at Camp David, flew to Paris on Air Force One, and held soirees at the White House.

No. Mitt was never worried about the "work" he'd have to do as the billions funneled into his campaign came with an agreement that he'd let others do the work (win-win in his mind). What Tagg has got right is that Mittens probably hated the idea that he would have to actually hobnob with the plebes. That the job of President means common folk can scrutinize and judge this great man's every move. Which is fine is one is a commoner president like Obama, but for someone as elite and special as Romney? No, no, no. It's just not right.

*That* would likely have been the part he didn't like. But maybe he thought he could take care of that, too. Maybe, if he'd won, the agreement included only the right-wing media having access to him; no common folk, no one who might write or say anything outside of praising him.

I tell you, we dodged many different bullets in this election.
