Mitt Romney, former governor of my home state of Massachusetts and 2008 Republican presidential contender, has hit the streets with his very own international security PowerPoint.
The .PPT entitled “Global Initiatives for Values and Freedom: A Comprehensive Strategy to Defeat Radical Jihad, Ensure American Security, and Advance Freedom and Human Rights Across the Globe” is, in a word, awful. Not the content, necessarily, but the visuals. Mitt may be the most polished-looking man in politics, but Al Gore waxes the floor with Romney’s coif when it comes to PowerPoint skills.
I’ll freely admit I haven’t seen Romney deliver the presentation, but I can’t imagine that even the most engaging delivery could help an audience wade through some of the data dumps he chose to include.
Paging Edward Tufte…
