Romney should join flickr.

  Reasons to agree Flickr is a free way to store photos. Flickr is owned by Yahoo. Yahoo has thousands of employees. Yahoo employees would be more likely to look at Romney photos, and therefore learn about him, if he used flickr. Thousands of people use flickr. Flickr users would be more likely to look at Romney photos if he had a flickr account, and therefore learn about him, if he used flickr. Barak Obama has a flickr account link featured prominently on his front page. Mitt Romney's photos have some major problems. Users can not tag them, identify themselves if they are in the or comment on them. When users "tag" a photo in flickr, they help organize the photo, so Google, Yahoo, and MSN will know where that photo is, and what it is, and promote it in a Google, Yahoo, or MSN image search. If Romney got his picture taken with some Iowa students, and put that picture on his Flickr account, the Iowa students could identify themselves in the photo, and help prom...

Mitt Romney and the Estate Tax.

    The estate tax is an interesting issue for Mitt Romney. Romney was a CEO that saved Bain Capital, and the 2002 Winter Olympics, but his father was credited for saving American Motor Company from bankruptcy (until he left). Anyways his dad had a lot of money but didn't give him any. I guess Romney had stocks his dad had given him, that he sold to help pay for his education, and then his dad gave some money to Mitt's kids, but Romney didn't get any of it.   When asked by Brian Lamb, "By the way, why did your father not give you any of his inheritance?" Romney said; "Well, he didn't have as much as I think some people anticipated. And I did get a check from my dad when he passed away. I shouldn't say a check, but I did inherit some funds from my dad. But I turned and gave that away to charity. In this case I gave it to a school which Brigham Young University established in his honor, the George W. Romney School of Public Management. And as ...

One year ago...Revision 2

One year ago... I was listening to Michael Savage talk aobut the need for better mental health care, in relation to what has happened with this Cho. Cho was ruled Mentally ill by court; but let go after a hospital visit. It seems to me that we don't want to tell anyone that there is anything wrong with them. Like we don't want to hurt their feelings... Apparently Virginia Tech knew he had health problems, but didn't tell his room-mate! I have an adopted brother who is homeless in LA who has schizophrenia. The issue of mental health care means a lot to me. My brother was told by a psychologist that he had schizophrenia, while he was living with my parents. My parents tried for years to figure out what was wrong with him, and this information from the psycologist would have helped. Hillary is right. It does take a village or community. I'm glad their was a professional psychologist. Romney is also right. It takes a family. My parents can not take care of my bro...

Governor Mitt Romney and "mental health"

Governor Mitt Romney and "mental health" "As the Haleigh Poutre case demonstrates, errors in human judgment occur. What is unusual is how many people involved in Haleigh's care – medical professionals, case workers and administrators from many disciplines – made errors. I welcome new systems and processes that will identify and guard against circumstances where human error may have severe consequences." Governr Mitt Romney, 03-21-2006 "A tragic crisis shone a spotlight last year on the operations and culture of the Department of Correction. This group of experts worked long and hard to identify areas of weakness in our state prison network. Their conclusion is clear: It is time to correct our system of correction." Governor Mitt Romney, 06-30-2004 Press Release Accepting the commission's report at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center Is it true that the mentally ill will no longer receive MassHealth coverage for psychiatric serv...

Mitt Romney and the Family

Mitt Romney and the Family In Romney's book Turnaround he said of his campaign with Ted Kennedy that, "Ideas I brought forward were dissected and distorted to their illogical extreme." Romney was disappointed that he had failed to "…raise new ideas for government, help rebuild a disappearing second party, and stand for something bigger than self interest… the campaign had been about charges and misperceptions, not ideas and ideals." Romney has said; "America cannot continue to lead the family of nations around the world if we suffer the collapse of the family here at home."

A CEO For The USA?

By: Richard Lowry National Review Saturday, Apr 14, 2007 "Mitt Romney tells the audience at a town-hall meeting here how his kids got him a 1962 Rambler - the American Motors car produced by his dad George Romney – for his 60th birthday. It seems just a charming story to warm up the crowd. Romney says, 'We got it started, drove it up the road – and then pushed it home.' People laugh. But Romney is really telling a parable about his favorite theme: change. "He says his 1962 car had no arm rest, no seatbelts, no bucket seats, and a great big steering wheel that it took a lot of muscle to turn. 'Cars have changed a lot,' he says. And then he launches into his real point: 'People selling us goods and services figure out they got to make them better every year.' The people who run government feel no similar obligation, especially in Washington where 'talk is the currency.' Romney says 'talk has no value – not in the real world,' and ...
