This is quite striking. Mitt Romney, as everyone knows by now, has pretty
much lived his life in hopes of living up to the example set by his father
George, possibly to his own political detriment. For him now to be
casually suggesting that he'll jettison the federal agency that his father
led suggests, once again, that the daddy issues here are rather more
complex than meets the eye. George Romney was not just named to lead HUD
by Richard Nixon he was fiercely committed to the department's work, and
resented Nixon's attempts to rein in his plans for it, eventually
resigning his Cabinet in protest. In their indispensable new biography of
Mitt, Michael Kranish and Scott Helman note that Nixon had appointed
Romney to HUD as a way to punish him for refusing to release his delegates
to Nixon at the 1968 GOP convention:
.
The snub "was an incident that Nixon could never forget," Nixon aide John
Erlichmann later wrote. Ehrlichmann believed the decision to put Romney in
the cabinet was purely strategic. "Nixon," he wrote, "needed a few
moderate Republicans to balance the Cabinet. What better revenge than to
put Romney into a meaningless department, never to be noticed again." But
Romney did not toil quietly in obscurity. He fought hard to fulfill his
vow to improve race relations, pushing for integration of suburban
housing. "We've got to put an end to the idea of moving to suburban areas
and living only among people of the same economic and social class," said
Romney...
.
What makes Mitt's training his sights on HUD especially odd is that as
governor of Massachusetts, he eagerly took up the mantle of his father's
enthusiasm for aggressive housing reform, as part of his push to encourage
high-density, walkable, "smart growth" development. But of course, that
was before the first great Etch a Sketch shake of 2005-2006. Now, he is
the candidate who stands by smiling as South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley
declares that President Romney will let South Carolina do whatever it
wants when it comes to voter ID laws, regardless of whether it conforms
with racial discrimination laws; and, apparently, the candidate who
offhandedly suggests eliminating a federal department of several thousand
employees that oversees public housing and rental vouchers used by
millions of Americans, among other duties. Take that, Dad!
