Thank you Mitt!

Mitt Romney wrote an op ed in the Wall Street Journal yesterday.  A fascinating piece called "What I learned at Bain Capital."

In a rarely seen moment, Mitt Romney touts his "sterling" business career and proudly references the  remarkable successes he attained as he helped countless struggling companies achieve unparalleled success.

Many people may not realize that household names like Staples, Brookstone, Bright Horizons Child Development Centers, Toys R Us, AMC Movies, Dominoes Pizza, Sports Authority and countless others are all companies that were at one point struggling or on the verge of collapse, but due to the vision and leadership of one man, these companies changed their course and are now thriving American businesses.

That leader was Mitt Romney.

After every critical remark that has been said about Mitt Romney's career, namely that he is a greedy vampire, out-of-touch rich guy, whose vulture tendencies in business reflect a vulture who preys on the weak, oh and apparently a murderer too, it is refreshing to finally see Mitt taking control of this conversation.

He should.  It's about time that he change the narrative.

In a rare moment, he proudly made it known that one of the largest steel producers in America today, Steel Dynamics was a product of a Bain Capital success.

Romney writes about the things he learned at Bain Capital and how with every company they tried to help, it provided invaluable lessons for him.  He wrote about how he has been able to draw on those lessons learned and apply them in various situations.

He said, "My business experience confirmed my belief in empowering people...My faith in people, not government, is at the foundation of my plan to strengthen America's middle class."

Over the course of his career, Mitt Romney has guided the bankrupt to become thriving profitable businesses, he has resuscitated the weak and more importantly, time and again, Mitt Romney has helped people reach their potential.

Mitt Romney is a remarkable leader.  America will benefit from his vast experience, from his lessons learned and his uncanny ability to help those who disagree learn to compromise and find common ground.

His hope for America's future is strong.  He is determined to rebuild what was broken.

Above all, Romney's resume shows that he can do everything he says he will.

Isn't it time?  Do we really have the endurance to see if another 4 years of this "Change" will actually bring about lasting results?  No thanks.

America, it is time to rebuild, but this time, let's do it right.

Go Mitt.
