Romney considering 1 term, wants to enact Ryan's Medicare-eliminating budget

“Polk, who served from 1845 to 1849, presided over the expansion of the U.S. into a coast-to-coast nation, annexing Texas and winning the Mexican-American war for territories that also included New Mexico and California. He reduced trade barriers and strengthened the Treasury system. And he was a one-term president. Polk is an allegory for Rhoades: He did great things, and then exited the scene, and few remember him. That, Rhoades suggested, could be Romney’s legacy as well. … Multiple senior Romney advisers assured me that they had had conversations with the candidate in which he conveyed a depth of conviction about the need to try to enact something like Ryan’s controversial budget and entitlement reforms. Romney, they said, was willing to count the cost politically in order to achieve it.”

1. Sure - because he only wants to be President so he can fix things up

for himself and his buddies so they don't have to pay taxes, all regulations can be done away with, and Medicare and Social Security can be erased or mortally wounded. He has no vision for America, just a vision of more and more personal wealth. It is just a competition for him - beat his Dad, beat Obama. Plus a great story for dinners at the country club.
