As many of you probably did as well, I have just finished watching the Presidential debate on television.\u00a0\u00a0 Normally I don\u2019t voice my feelings about politics (so this is likely a one timer from me on this subject as I don’t really enjoy political debating), but tonight I feel compelled to express my thoughts on this presidential election.\u00a0 What I am going to share is not a Democrat versus Republican point of view, because frankly in my personal opinion that isn\u2019t even the issue at hand in this decision.\u00a0 As far as I am concerned, the issue in this election isn\u2019t about political party \u2013 this election is about one simple question \u2013 WHO WILL BE A BETTER CEO FOR AMERICA?<\/p>\n
Having been a CEO for more years than I care to count, I am well aware of what it takes to run a successful company.\u00a0\u00a0 It takes absolute fiscal responsibility and it takes an ability to not just articulate, but to execute on operations.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0A CEO can\u2019t just be a person who speaks well in front of a crowd, and they can\u2019t just be someone who can be charismatic and flash a nice smile.\u00a0 A CEO has to be a person who knows how to lead, a CEO has to be someone who is willing to make hard decisions and stand by them, and a CEO has to be a person who is willing to be financially accountable in creating a sticking to a balanced budget in order to create a profitable country.<\/p>\n
I realize that a lot of people say they think that Romney doesn\u2019t come off as likable as Obama, and I will admit that Obama is better at sweet talking a crowd \u2013 but the reality is that sweet talking will not get our country out of the financial disaster that it has been dug into.\u00a0 A CEO who can talk a big game but cannot deliver is a crappy CEO!\u00a0 A CEO who knows how to lead and who has a proven track record of running successful businesses is a great CEO.<\/p>\n
It honestly blows my mind that at this point anyone would even question which candidate will run the country as the better CEO.\u00a0 Just look at the track record of who knows how to successfully make money and create jobs and balance budgets.\u00a0 One candidate has proven that he can by his own past history, and one has proven that he cannot.\u00a0 Any CEO who ran their business the way the current President has run our country\u2019s economy would have been fired by their board of directors in a New York second.\u00a0 So why in the world would we choose to keep a President who would have been fired from running our companies?\u00a0 It makes no sense at all.<\/p>\n
Like I said before, this election isn\u2019t about Democrat or Republican, it\u2019s about selecting the CEO that we have the most confidence in appointing to lead our country as the successful and growing business that it should be.\u00a0 I wanted to scream at the television tonight \u2013 \u201cwe are the freaking United States of America for heaven\u2019s sake!\u00a0 We are the greatest country in the world!\u00a0 We have more opportunity in this country and more freedoms in this country than any other country in the world.\u00a0 We are not a society of inept people that need handouts from our government \u2013 we are amazingly capable of creating our own success if we just had a government that would get the heck out of our way and allow us do it!\u00a0 We don\u2019t need the government to create jobs to hire us \u2013 we don\u2019t want to work for them \u2013 we want them to reduce our tax burden and let us keep our own money so we can create our own businesses and our own jobs and then we would be more than happy to offer them a job if they need one :).\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about!<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t recall ever feeling so passionate about the importance of a Presidential election before.\u00a0 But I truly think that this election will carry more importance for this country\u2019s economic survival than any other election before.\u00a0 Our current CEO of America is failing us and he has failed us for the past four years.\u00a0 That is a longer failure period than we would allow any CEO of any company to keep their job.\u00a0 It is time for Americans to stand up and use their votes to make a change.\u00a0\u00a0 We need to appoint a new CEO.<\/p>\n
If you are still having trouble making a decision on who to vote for just ask yourself this question \u2013 if I started a company and invested all of the money I had into it, who would I rather hire to run that company for me as the CEO?\u00a0 Obama?\u00a0 Or Mitt Romney?\u00a0 Who would I trust to make a better return on my investment for me?\u00a0 Obama?\u00a0 Or Mitt Romney?\u00a0 Who do I think has a better track record of fiscal responsibility?\u00a0 Obama or Mitt Romney? \u00a0\u00a0This question is critical because America is your business and you have invested your entire life into being its citizen.\u00a0 Not only that but you have invested not only your future into it, but the future of your children and grandchildren.\u00a0 So the CEO you hire to run it is the most important decision in the world right now.\u00a0 So again, I ask, who would you rather hire as your CEO?<\/p>\n
That is the easiest answer in the world \u2013 MITT ROMNEY FOR CEO OF AMERICA!!!<\/p>\n
Okay, I will agree to come off my soap box now, but before I do I just have to add that all of us need to get out there and use our voices!\u00a0 We need to take a stand and use our power as citizens of this amazing country to stand up for the values and results we expect and deserve to see from our President and CEO of this country!<\/p>\n
