60 Minutes
In his 60 Minutes interview broadcast Sunday, Mitt Romney gave many interesting answers. Here are a few:
Self awareness: Scott Pelley, with a reference to David McCullough, asked Mitt Romney about what he has ”learned from the history of presidents in the White House”. Romney spoke a bit about McCullough’s biography of John Adams and approvingly described Adams as “an individual who was less concerned about public opinion than he was about doing what he thought was right for the country” and who “did what he thought was right for America” even though it cost him reelection. Presumably Romney sees himself in that mold, or at the very least aspires to it. If the American people saw him that way, he would be coasting to victory. They don’t, and that’s why he isn’t.
