My rule of not starting a book without finishing is going to bite me in the ass for this one. Mitt Romney is an idiot, no doubt about it. First few pages and already he's made a few obviously ridiculous assumptions. One of which is that if you're not #1 (power wise I suppose...he doesn't really clarify), then you cannot protect your safety, freedom and the like....the implications of course is that countries who are not #1 (again, I would have to guess militarily but even economically) cannot protect their freedoms and/or are less free than we are. This is an absurd and baseless suggestion. I expect more of this throughout the book as I've been vocally angry three times (3) in seven (7) pages. To say the least, it's no surprise that so many conservatives have a hard time identifying with this (or any other) of the current candidates.
Just another quick criticism, appears like he's trying to prove absolutes by giving individual cases. One of which is "you can do it if you try hard enough" proof is his father succeeding. This is simply an illogical approach to life, if one person can do it we call can. Let's say that we should all buy lotto tickets because it worked for the one person who went into debt buying tickets and it finally paid off.
To summarize, Mitt Romney's book is re-establishing my lack of faith in him as a leader.
