Really?


Nice "optics", as they like to say! The press should be asking if this is appropriate.


Imagine Obama's sister having a "business meeting" FUNDING ROADSHOW with China's richy-richertons, asking for money. Imagine the headlines.

They must have been laughed out of the country.

Mitt Romney’s Son Went to Russia With a Secret Message for Putin
By Joe Coscarelli




Mitt and Matt.


Mitt Romney has made a point throughout his campaign to refer, with teeth, to Russia as our country's "number one geopolitical foe" and promising to have "more backbone" than Barack Obama when dealing with the Kremlin. But that's all just bluster, says Romney's second-oldest son Matt, who made a sojourn this week to the former Soviet Union in search of investors for his real estate company. According to Matt's colleague, it was just a "harmless trip," but the New York Times has the juicy geopolitical gossip via an anonymous source:


[...] while in Moscow, Mr. Romney told a Russian known to be able to deliver messages to Mr. Putin that despite the campaign rhetoric, his father wants good relations if he becomes president, according to a person informed about the conversation.
