Romney Reading 2: Get naked and rule the world!

Get Naked and...

Rule the world...

 

"Smart companies are sharing secrets with rivals, blogging about products in their pipeline, even admitting to their failures. The name of this new game is RADICAL TRANSPARENCY, and it's sweeping boardrooms across the nation. Even those Office drones at Dunder Mifflin get it. So strip down and learn how to have it all by baring it all."

 

The latest cover of Wired Magazine, has the girl from "The Office" and Napoleon Dino mite's love interest in blades of glory, proclaiming, "Get naked and rule the world". She is not wearing any clothes, but she is not really advocating that we all take off our clothes. It is a figure of speech.

 

Naked, in this sense, means transparent.

 

Mitt Romney wants, like the other candidates, to rule the world, so I suggest (along with this article) that he gets naked.

 

For all the articles in this subject go here:

For the best article go here:

 

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/wired40_ceo.html

 

It is called, "The See-Through CEO". The intro says, "Fire the publicist. Go off message. Let all your employees blab and blog. In the new world of radical transparency, the path to business success is clear."

 

From here on out I'm going to assume you have read the article (so go read it) and agree that the presidential candidates should get naked (or go transparent).

 

How would they do this? I have a lot of ideas, but would like to hear yours also. Just e-mail me.

 

If I was a candidate I would:

  1. Release all book reports I have ever done. People will assume the worse. It is better for them to have the facts.
  2. Post every picture, in all my photo albums. I have nothing to hide. Post some of them on Google's photo site, some on Yahoo's, some on Flickr, and see what happens.
  3. Use a lie detector in all debates. I have nothing to be ashamed of.

 

People have presently not liked a book that Mitt Romney said he liked. They are saying all sorts of crazy stuff about him, because there is a lack of information. Scientist know that a vacuum gets filled. If the candidate does not stuff stuff into the public interest, they will just make stuff up. People were saying, on this New York Times site, that Romney has only read 3 books in his life. That he is not read. That none of his books get opened, that he only reads science fiction, that his book choice shows that he is not intellectually curious. These people are all stupid, but they are stupid voters. Mitt Romney has done a great job of convincing smart, big shot, insiders to support him. He has more endorsements than any other 2008 presidential candidate. But he needs to get his message out to these stupid people that are going to just assume stupid stuff about him, if he doesn't prostitute his complete life story all over his website.

 

If he went into storage, and got every single book report that he wrote, while earning his English degree, people wouldn't say this stupid stuff. Romney received his English degree valedictorian. He is very well read, but how are we to know it, unless he publishes his college book reports.

 

Hillary was a radical at college. Romney should say that he will release all his book reports, and papers, if she will.

America's Global Challenges

Governor Romney's Strategy To Combat The Threat Of Nuclear Terrorism :

Governor Romney Has Outlined A New Strategy To Prevent Nuclear Material From Ending Up In The Hands Of Terrorists:

  • Expanding And Accelerating Actions To Combat Nuclear Terrorism. Combating the threat of nuclear terrorism needs to be a top Presidential priority.
  • Empowering A Senior Ambassador To Lead Efforts To Prevent Nuclear Terrorism. Governor Romney would appoint a new Ambassador-at-Large to Prevent Nuclear Terror.
  • Making Nuclear Trafficking A Crime Against Humanity.
  • Creating A Gold Standard For Nuclear Security. Because of recent technological and political developments, we need to update our commitment to non-proliferation, including a new commitment to stringent security regimes.
  • Frank, Direct Efforts With Russia On Containing This Threat.
  • Removing The Incentive For Dangerous Civilian Nuclear Capabilities. The United States should take the lead in organizing and financing an international fuel bank to guarantee low-cost supplies of nuclear reactor fuel to countries willing to adhere to heightened security and safety standards.

Governor Romney On The Democrat Strategy In Iraq:

"As our military men and women fight against violent, radical Jihadists in Iraq, the Democrats need to stop pleading for surrender. At last night's Democratic debate, and in yesterday's vote in the United States Senate, Democrats waved a white flag to our enemies and our troops." (Governor Mitt Romney, Remarks At The Livingston County, MI, Lincoln Day Dinner, Whitmore Lake, MI, 4/27/07)

American Prosperity

In Michigan, Governor Romney Addressed The Importance Of Manufacturing And The Auto Industry:

Governor Romney: "I believe it is important that manufacturing and the automotive industry see a resurgence in this country. ... I don't believe in writing off manufacturing or the auto industry." (Chris Andrews, "Romney Says He Will Help Auto Industry," Lansing State Journal, 4/29/07)

Governor Romney Outlines Steps The Federal Government Can Take To Help Industry. "The federal government, he said, can help by investing in research and technology such as fuel technology. He also said he would push to improve math and science education around the country so the United States is technologically superior to economic rivals such as China and India." (Chris Andrews, "Romney Says He Will Help Auto Industry," Lansing State Journal, 4/29/07)

Romney Reading...

Mitt Romney told nightline that his favorite novel was Huckleberry
Finn. Now his has given his critics a chance to say that he has even
flip-flopped on this.


I'm dumbfounded. Mitt Romney was a valedictorian English Major.

This site

http://www.youtube.com/mittromney

lists his favorite books as:

Huckleberry Finn, What It Takes, Theodore Rex, The World Is Flat ,
1776, The Purpose Driven Life. The West's Last Chance...

He lists other books on his facebook, and myspace profile. People have
been asking him this question a long time..

If you go here, I think you can see evidence that Mitt Romney is the
best read author out of all the candidates:

http://myclob.pbwiki.com/books

Here are some of the things he has said about the books he has read:

"But number five, the culture of America is under attack. Now some
people say wait, when you talk about culture, Governor, that's not of
the same order of magnitude as the things you just mentioned:
jihadists and the emergence of Asia, spending too much money, using
too much oil. And I disagree. There was a book written some years ago
by a fellow named David Landis; he's a Harvard professor. The book was
given to me. It's called The Wealth and Poverty of Nations. The jacket
cover included an endorsement by John Kenneth Galbraith. I said, oh
boy, this is going to be some liberal diatribe. I read through it and
found it pretty scholarly. And after about 500 pages, he concludes
with roughly these words: If anything can be learned from the history
of economic development in the world, it is this--culture makes all
the difference."

"The sea change applies to our military as well. At one time, we were
content with the idea that the military was responsible for winning
wars. Increasingly, we find ourselves responsible not only for winning
the war, but also for keeping the peace. We play, increasingly,
peacekeeping roles; how we prepare for those and train for those is
something which Jim and Paul in their book have spent some time
talking about." Heritage Lecture #904

"Amazingly, these rankings don't even include the countries that are
our real competition. India and China, in the words of Tom Friedman's
latest book, just brought three billion more people onto the playing
field." - U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and the
Workforce Hearing on "High School Reform: Examining State and Local
Efforts.


"Well, I happen to believe that one of the most important things a
president of the United States does is set a culture of integrity,
character, vision, patriotism, that the values that a president is
known for and lives by live on well beyond some of his or her policies
-- I guess all his, at this point. His policies. And, you know, I will
go back -- and read a couple of books about Teddy Roosevelt last year,
"Theodore Rex" and "The Rise of Teddy Roosevelt," I looked at some of
his policies and said, gosh, I have exactly the opposite view today.
The Republic Party has a different view then it did back in 1900." -
C-Span Transcript, BRIAN LAMB, HOST

Romney has made reference to reading: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage,
by Alfred Lansing, China, Inc., by Ted C. Fishman, Future Jihad:
Terrorist Strategies Against America by Walid Phares, American Jihad:
The Terrorists Living Among Us, by Steven Emerson, The Rise of Teddy
Roosevelt by Edmund Morris, Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris, The World
is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman...

Mitt Romney is not an idiot. Why would he say something so stupid?
I know I'm over simplifying things... Romney did not say that it was
his favoritest book in the whole wide world. He just said it was a
favorite book. But how could he like such a stupid book? He is a
freaking valedictorian English Major!

Is he just trying to show people that you shouldn't be afraid to read
things from people you disagree with? This has been a major Romney
theme. Read even those you disagree with.
