Special report: Romney's steel skeleton in the Bain closet (Reuters)

6. Wealth + Church: Romney has never lived in our world.

If people want to think his life proves that he has what it takes to be a good president, they're probably assuming he proved himself in life, but his life has never been like most of ours. There's simply very little basis for comparison. His way was expedited by not only by wealth but also along sanitized and synchronized paths of least social resistance within the monoculture of Mormonism, developing him into a machine mind, famous for being famous from manipulating massive quantities without consideration for the human qualities associated with those numbers. Not exactly the kind of mind-heart I want making decisions about my old age, or that of others, nor about the unique potentialities of future persons yet to venture this plane.
