MEET MITT ROMNEY, CAREER POLITICIAN

!!!!

MITT ROMNEY, on the set of "Morning Joe," to Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski: "I think that the only way we're gonna get President Obama out of the White House - because it's HARD to replace an incumbent - is if we have someone run against him who is different than a lifelong politician. ... There's nothing wrong with being a lifelong politician: We got one in the White House right now. Newt Gingrich has spent his life in Washington. And I don't think someone who has spent their life in Washington is going to be able to be sufficiently distinctive from President Obama to actually beat him. I think my background of 25 years in the private sector gives me credibility on the economy and on creating jobs that President Obama doesn't have. And that distinction is gonna make the difference."

OK, but what Mitt Romney does not say is that he has spent the last seventeen years of his life running for public office, participating in the political game of raising campaign fund and wheeling and dealing with other politicians for support for his campaigns.  If that does not make him a lifelong politician I do not know what does.
