Why Romney's 'dog on car roof' story makes him unfit to be president

During the trip, the Boston Globe reported, Romneys oldest son, Tagg, looked around through the rear window and yelled, Dad gross! A brown liquid was dripping down the back window diarrhea from an animal that just might have been caused by the stress of being inside a cage for 12 hours on top of a car going 60 mph.
.................................
Heres how the Globe described what Romney then did:
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management.
Emotion-free crisis management??!

Heres one dog lovers opinion mine:
I think anyone who puts his dog in a cage on top of a car for a 12-hour drive and then deludes himself or tries to delude others that the dog really enjoyed it to me, with all due respect, I feel such a man shouldnt be president of the United States.

That smirky, creepy laugh he has when queried about this incident is off the charts too.
His "yuk" factor is 100% in my book.
What's with Mrs. Romney in all this? If my husband tried to do this shit, there would be a scene (and I would win) or there would be a divorce.

(34,658 posts)He's not fit from our point of view, but from their point of view he's perfect. And notice that his children objected- indicating that they were born with empathy, but by now its probably been brutalized out of them.
