Romney gets award

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor January 13, 2009 07:17 PM

Mitt Romney didn't win the presidency, or even the Republican nomination.

But he has secured a prize as "Mormon of the Year" by a major blog for the faith, the Globe's Michael Paulson reports.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, had to answer questions about his religious beliefs during the primary, giving a high-profile speech at the Bush presidential library to ease concerns from conservative Christians.

Another moving story line of how Mitt hitched up his own pants in kindergarten and pulled himself up by his bootstraps later in life.

This is an article worth commenting and I agree that during the presidential campaign Mitt Romney is the candidate that should've taken on the reign in the White House because that is the type of leader we really need with these economic hicups and failouts or bailouts.Congratulation to Mitt for winning the award for the church yes Romney defines Mormonism well and clearer than the trashes the manipulative,full of hate,dishonest PBS channel kept showing on one of their documentary called "The Mormons". How can people of America and the world are allow to be misguided and misform by these kind of television programs is unbelievable.
