Washington Times EDITORIAL: Vote for Romney

America needs a businessman in the White House - Washington Times

...America needs a turnaround specialist to save the Land of the Free from its own mismanagement. That man is Mitt Romney.

Existential crises beckon greatness from national leaders. It usually isn’t obvious beforehand where the inner strength to fight for the future will be found. Certainly no one would have predicted what a profound effect a country lawyer from Illinois would have in the middle of the 19th century or the Hollywood actor — also from Illinois — in the 20th.

The United States needs a leader to fight today’s fiscal battle. With more than 23 million Americans unemployed and economic growth limping to reach 1.5 percent, the most pressing challenge is to revive the economy to get people working again. This will take an experienced executive to cut government spending and regulation to unchain the dynamism of the private sector. Mr. Romney has spent his life taking failing companies and revamping operations to make them competitive; he has the skills to do the same in the Oval Office. The Washington Times endorses Republican Mitt Romney for president.
