If there was ever a hope for this country to pull out of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression, it is with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

With his "oft criticized business expertise" he performed a near miracle directing the 2002 Winter Olympics. Amidst numerous monetary scandals, Mitt Romney took over the job and with limited time turned a $379 million deficit into a $50 million surplus. Yes, there were necessary job cuts and reorganization but the job was done and done well.

We need that miracle again - someone to again make the word "prosperity" synonymous with our country, the United States of America.
