Mitt Romney’s most outstanding quality is his unbelievable success at turning around failing organizations and governments. However, Mitt’s perceived weakness is his lack of military experience. On the other hand, his primary opponent’s, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain, perceived strength seem to be their background with the military and war on Terror. I believe, however, that Mitt’s ability to pull smart people together to solve tough social problems and resurrect troubled organizations and governments is unmatchable and absolutely necessary to our national security.
If we continue to spend billions of dollars on the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, on our borders and else where, we need money. To get money we need to reform and reduce government spending. Programs like Social Security and Medicaid need to be overhauled. Moreover, one of the goals of the terrorist is to drain us financially. If they succeed, our economy will tank and our ability to fight the war on Terror will be minimized. Thus, by streamlining government programs and cutting waist, we can keep our economy strong and ensure that we have the resources necessary to fight the war on Terror.
Overall, I believe that reforming failing organizations and our government is essential to preserving a strong economy which will in turn give us the financial ability to fight the war on Terror. Giuliani and McCain simply do not have the skills or experience to reform our failing government. Clearly, Mitt’s the man for that job.
