Because this General Election is so very important in the history of our nation, I have decided to state publicly who I am going to vote for and why. This is the only time I will mention politics in this column this year. I am voting for Mitt Romney for President of the United States.
There are some similarities between Pres. Obama and Mitt Romney. Both are solid family men, educated in excellent American universities, and dedicated to serving their nation. Both will use their skills to lead to best of their ability. But there the similarity ends.
Mitt Romney has vast experience in developing and managing large corporations. We need a president right now who can guide America's economy back on solid ground. Before being elected, Pres. Obama had no such experience. Mitt Romney will show us his birth certificate, high school and college transcripts. He will show us his social security card, law degree, draft notice, medical records and income tax records. He has nothing to hide.
After college, Mitt Romney was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker and intern for eight years. He was an unpaid bishop and state president of his church for ten years. He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee for three years. He was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years. For all those activities he took no salary. It wouldn't surprise me if elected President he will take no salary.
Mitt Romney gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity. In 2011, Romney gave over $4 million to charity, nearly 19% of his income. He is a wealthy, self-made man and has given many millions of dollars back to America in terms of money, service and time.
Through Bain Capital, a private equity investment firm he co-founded, he has provided hundreds of thousands of jobs to Americans. Mitt Romney's background, experience and trustworthiness qualify him to be an proven leader and a loyal citizen, equal to the task of being the kind of President our United States needs right now and for the future.
You may think that Romney is not the best candidate, but he is a known and experienced person. We know for sure what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility. We know he has far more managerial ability to be president of our nation than our current president.
Romney never took drugs or smoked pot, never got drunk, did not associate with communists or terrorists, and he did not attend a church whose pastor detests the United States. In 1996, when the 14-year-old daughter of a partner at Bain Capital disappeared, Romney closed down the entire firm, set up a command center, enlisted the help of his employees and hired private detectives. The girl was found alive and unharmed in New Jersey shortly thereafter.
Mitt Romney is not a narcissist. He would rather seek the good of the whole than of his personal situation. When he sees a problem, he sets to work solving it, not for self-aggrandizement or personal gain, and he does not choose his actions by the poll numbers. Mitt Romney does what he does because that’s how he’s wired to work and act. He will be far more fiscally responsible than Pres. Obama has been.
This is why I am going to vote for Mitt Romney for President of the United States..
