He was a "community activist" yet made enough money to jettison to the national arena and actively seek the presidency with just 143 days of US Senate experience under his belt. I know he did a great job for Illinois as a state employee there. He did sign 2 bills that became law while a US Senator.

He and his wife were represented as wealthly, power-broker lawyers who gave it all up to be the first family, yet they didn't start making real money until the election was over and they got into office. I smell another book deal in the making.

I think the real distinction between the two is that Mitt made his money and fame thru the private sector and B.O. and wife made theirs compliments of the tax payers. I will pick the private sector guy any time.

As for Joe Biden, he is the cheapest man I know. Never tipped once, and that says a lot about a person. As many Delawareans would agree, if it was not for a horrible, personal tradegy, Joe would have never been voted in. B.O. got voted in because of the US Ecomomy becoming a tradegy. That is how B.O. & Joe are similar: they rose up from tradegy

Almost as large a "tradegy" as your spelling in fact

If you "could" find the source of the money for Harvard, or any other aspects of the charmed lives of either one, then you should get a gold star. This is still clouded with a lot of mumbo jumbo. Most folks are born, go to a regular school (not the Harvards of the world), get a job, and die. The money made thru this job is traceable on tax returns or other mechanisms which correlate with the goods and services one receives in a life time and the amount of money made. They generally match up. The money made is taxed and that is how our system works. Except B.O. --if one imputes all the money it would take to receive the goods and services he has accumalated, then his tax returns ought to say something vastly different than what they do say over the years. There is the greatest disconnect that no one seems to want to discuss.

Get over any spelling (or grammer) errors. I guess I should install "spell-check" for you. Not. I have noticed in a number of posts and threads that you attack the most silly things and that is sad.

Mr. Romney is quite a remarkable fellow. At least based on the OP's "facts." Just as one example,

"He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's office for eight years."

Considering his dad was only governor for six years, this is nothing short of miraculous!

As opposed to those who have never been anything other than political figures who will "evolve" to anything to get votes and win elections?

Looks like its around 7 years: Elected in 1962 and left in 1969 and counting on my fingers, that equals 7 years, and I am sure there had to be some time stumping for office.

"Romney entered politics by participating in a state constitutional convention to rewrite the Michigan Constitution during 1961–1962. He was elected Governor of Michigan in 1962 and was re-elected by increasingly large margins in 1964 and 1966." (Wikipedia)

Given the level of animus on this forum, a unanimus decision is damn neigh unlikely.

Took office in Jan '63 and left in Jan '69, so that's 6 years in office by my count. But who's counting here?

Also, even more astounding, he served in his father's office during this time while sometimes simultaneously living out of state and even, for extended periods, out of the country. I read this on the internet so it must be true.

The more I read these "facts," the more I am impressed by Mr. Romney

My wife, of course. (Truth be told, she isn't my wife. My wife's hotter.)

If you look into it, I'll wager that the vast bulk of that money went to the LDS church. Still charity I suppose but most all of that goes to Mormons only.

All Mormon clergy are unpaid. Does seem superior to a paid clergy in many ways.

Astounding? Sounds like posturing to me. How does one serve a governor in a minor position while out of country for long periods? I mean, maybe some liason work with foreign buyers of state products, but that's a bit of a stretch.
