governor romney? >> thank you, mike. this 2012 election is really going to be an election which presents a choice to the american people about what kind of america we will have. historically, this has been what david brooks has called a merit-based society. individuals based on their education, risk taking and a little luck can have rewards based on success they achieve. that has lead us to be the strongest nation in the history of the earth. it is a nation of freedom and opportunity. president obama and his friends have a very different view for america. they want to see an entitled -based society where you take the rewards from some and spread it out to everybody else. and whereby the way the best rewards go to the people who do the spreading, the people in government. are we going to be a free society with free individuals pursuing their own course with free enterprises or a nation governed by the government. i am convinced this is a time where america will have to make that choice. i spent my life in the private sector. i know how to make this
