It's striking how little we know about his life, highly unusual for a president, but not surprising given the way the media has protected him. I'm sure if we had known the whole truth about Obama he would have never gotten elected.
What did we know about Bush's life? Very little is said of his self professed wild period and substance abuse problems.
What do we know about Romneys college years and business practices??
Quite a bit as there are dozens of books about President Bush out there, pro and con, and more than a few of those involve discussions of his growing up years including interviews with friends, associates, schoolmates, etc. The yellow journalism corps is no doubt scouring Romney's backround as we speak trying to find any dirt they can, and I imagine they are being deeply disappointed in how little there is to find. The worst they seem to be able to come up with is that his daddy was rich.
But I can't imagine that any of Romney's background has been sealed about anything. If that was the case, we would already be reading stories about Romney's mysterious or murky past and complaints that records are sealed.
