How are you different from your father

Page history last edited by PBworks 16 years, 10 months ago

Greta Van Susteren: I hope they watch this.

 

Governor, how are you different from your father as governor?

 

Governor Mitt Romney: Well, you know, I respect him in almost every single dimension. I can't imagine trying to be different than him in terms of his character. He was the real deal. And, you know, I consider him my role model in virtually every aspect of public life. I'm sure we see some issues differently.

 

Ann Romney: You know, I knew Mitt's father too when he was governor. It was like weird, dating when your father is governor. And I am convinced there is no way Mitt would have ever become involved in politics if it hadn't been for the example of his father.

 

Governor Mitt Romney: Oh, sure. Sure.

 

Greta Van Susteren: But you came to it late. I mean, you grew up with it...

 

Governor Mitt Romney: Just like him.

 

Ann Romney: He did it the same way his father did.

 

Greta Van Susteren: Oh, that's right.

 

Governor Mitt Romney: Literally, literally, my dad I think ran for governor at age 56, and so did I. And so it was kind of late in life, after we had had our career.

 

My dad always felt that you got involved in public service after you have had a career, raised your family, when your finances are solid. You didn't think you want to get in politics to make it your career. It was instead a duty or a sense of obligation that would bring you into public service. And that's what I'm here for.

 

And so far so good. We are off to a great start.
