You know George W Bush was president for 8 years, right ? n/t PoliticAverse Jun 2012 #1
If anything, I think Nixon would be the most comparable style. Gidney N Cloyd Jun 2012 #3
Yes, but at the very least, he kind of worked in front of the camera. Scootaloo Jun 2012 #5

Mitt Romney, though... Put him in the Oval Office and I swear it'd be like one of those Troy McClure infomercials from The Simpsons.

"Hi! I'm Mitt Romney. You might remember me from such roles as "No Bain, No Gain!" and "Honey I Strapped the Dog To the Roof!" Tonight I'm going to talk to you abut austerity programs. it used to be the only way to squeeze money from the poor was to literally squeeze them. But no more! With the handy-dandy School of Chicago Economics model, brought to you by FreidmanCo, you can have the poor pay for you and your corporate expenses without all that messy head-cracking!*

because of his "putting food on your family"-type statements.

Romney is just scary.

I tuned out Bush early on, just to preserve a modicum of sanity. The next day summaries on-line were bad enough.
