Celebrity President or Proven Performer?

Obama’s four year transformation of the U.S. economy has failed! Wakeup America! O’s Marxist agenda has failed. He’s got to go.

After four years of Obama’s de facto Marxist/Socialist/Radical-Leftist economic experiment, the country has learned that this quasi-Communist system never works.

So what are the Democrats and the White House doing about it? Why, they are calling for more of the same, of course! More spending – more entitlements – more economic stupidity! Frankly, one must begin to seriously question the intelligence of O’s economic advisers; perpetuating O’s failed distributive model?! They must be completely oblivious to the failed history of Marxism, wherever it has been tried.

I’m reminded of the old adage: “He who knows and knows that he knows is wise … Listen to him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is good … Follow him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not is humble … Help him. He who knows not and know not that he knows not is dangerous …Shun him.” Frankly, there is no politician more dangerous than a charismatic deceiver like Barack Hussein Obama. He has had his chance and has obviously failed. And his de facto Marxist/Socialist/Radical-Leftist agenda has failed. Obviously, it is time to give a proven performer a chance.

Selecting a president should be more than a popularity contest. We are hiring the Chief Executive of the world’s largest enterprise – someone who can turn our economy around and restore the American Dream – the American Way-of-Life. Americans should hire the best of the best; someone with a proven track record who knows what he’s doing. That is clearly not the Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Chicago-cabal, whose quasi-Communist ideology is destroying the traditional American-Prosperity Machine: free market, competitive, constitutional capitalism.

Speaking of someone with a proven track record: where is Mitt??? Is this another McCain-like campaign failure? Obama is setting the agenda and is defining Romney. Time is running out … Where is Mitt???

Gov. Romney is getting clobbered in the media. Every flaw by Mitt and/or his campaign personnel is made into a big deal by the liberal-left, Obama-biased, media. To make matters worse, Obama ads are everywhere and Romney’s are infrequent … Where is Mitt???

If this is the best the Governor can do he will surely lose. Never has a President been such a sitting duck, such a gross failure, and yet he is virtually untouched by Romney’s pathetic campaign. Obama is setting the agenda and is defining Romney — his history, taxes, foreign experience, wealth, personality, Bain, Olympics, etc. What about Obama’s record and history?! … Where is Mitt???

Mitt and his campaign team must get the word out so the voters come to know Mitt Romney: Romney and his company, Bain Capital (using what became known as the “Bain Way”), performed the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Staples, Domino’s, Sealy, Brookstone, the Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply … and as President of the Olympics for 3 years – fixing a mess no one wanted to touch. He was governor of MA for 4 years and brought unemployment down to 4.7%. Romney knows how to put together a team of competent professionals who can get the job done for the American people.

Regarding Romney’s character, he did not take a salary for either the Olympics or the governorship. Mitt contributed his inheritance to charity. Governor Romney has the experience, he has the track record, he has THE HEART to tackle the challenges of leading the American people back to traditional prosperity.

America needs another miracle from Mitt: to bring God back into the mainstream of American life … to bring pride in America back to the White House … to bring fiscal responsibility and management back into the national economy and budget … to take corruption out of the voting process … and to bring new confidence to owners of American business – that it is ok to make a profit and invest in job creating businesses.
