Mitt Romney is a good and decent man who has served his country well. He too, like Obama, went to Harvard where he got degrees in both the business and law school. He passed the Michigan bar exam but never practiced law.
Mitt Romney believes, unlike Obama, in the free enterprise system and individual initiative that made American the greatest country in the world. True, he has made a lot of money. His first major business deal was to invest in a startup company called Staples in Massachusetts that sold office supplies that went on to build over 2,000 stores and employed 90,000 people.
His intelligence, leadership, business ability and hard work continued in companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone,Burger King, Home Depot and others that employed hundreds of thousands of jobs here in America.
In the non business world, he was a volunteer campaign worker for his dad's governor election, unpaid intern in the governor's office for eight years, Mormon missionary in paris for two years, unpaid bishop and state president for his church for 10 years, no salary as president of the Olympics for three years, and no salary as Massachusetts governor for four years: a total of 28 years of unpaid services to his country, his community and his church.
If elected president, Romney is expected to give the $400,000 a year salary to charity and serve for $1 a year.
A side bar: in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4million to charity, over 19 percent of his income. By comparison, Obama gave much, much less and Joe Bidden gave $300 or .0013 percent reinforcing the fact that democrats like to give away other people's money but not their own.
Thank you and God Bless everyone,
A Honorable Vietnam Veteran
