Also, Mitt wrote an op-ed titled “Return America to Its Greatness”.
I am running for president to help restore the greatness of America, with prosperity and good jobs at home and respect for our country abroad.
President Obama says that he wants to “fundamentally transform” America. He has endeavored to do so, by making us more like Europe, with government playing a larger and more intrusive role in our lives and in our enterprises. But Europe doesn’t work in Europe, and it is not working here.
The president’s breathtaking deficits, 34 months of 8 percent or higher unemployment, depressed home values, the rising cost of food and health care and the high price of gas are ample evidence that his plan to transform America has hurt America.
I don’t want to transform America; I want to return America to the principles that have made us the greatest nation on earth.

I’m confident that Americans will refuse to be bought off by cheap promises that turn into never-ending debts for our children and grandchildren.”
I am so inspired by Gov Romney’s determination make America the job-creating powerhouse of the world and to pull our debt-sinking nation out of China’s credit card noose!
