Mitt Romney Officially Announces His Candidacy: ‘This Country We Love is in Peril’
To no one’s surprise, Mitt Romney officially announced his candidacy today in his run for the GOP nomination for the White House. Also unsurprising? The degree to which Romney feels the United States has suffered of late (“this country is in peril!”), and to whom should we all place the blame. “Barack Obama has failed America,” Romney decried, adding “when he took office, the economy was in recession, and he made it worse, he made it last longer.”
Odd that there is no mention of the economic meltdown that occurred just before the 2008 election? Probably not.
The setting was nearly perfect: an American flag in the background gently blown by pure and American gusts of wind. The rhetoric? Turns out that Romney believes in America! Who knew?
