church. it s an important theme. when thinking about tonight uh i keep going back to a campaign you re familiar with. that s bush and gore in 2000. i feel like romney has challenges that both bush and kbo gore had to deal with. bush had to be a different type of republican. gore had the same personality issues, like iblt factors. both were successful. how does romney do it? he has to talk about who he is. he s got to open up a little bit. he s got to relate why his business biography and his personal biography relates to the problems the country faces and a road map on how to get there. part of the republican attack on president obama is that it s leadership that matter. it has to offer something through the american people that makes them think, okay, he s a viable alternative. you know, putting a thumb on the
president is ignoring and democrats are ignoring while at the same time, his business built on the concept of debt. right. it is incredible, his entire campaign is built ruined desemgs what bane capitin capital did. reality is he s a leveraged buyout specialist. he was exact there same person that gordon gecko was in the movie wall street. borr borrowed money that others had to pay back. how did he been pit? well, he he takes over the company by borrowing money that they have to pay back. and then he induce it is company to pay him management fees and dividends. really, it is essentially the same operation the mob uses when it takes over a restaurant or a laundromat. it importants them to run up bills in their credit and give money back to the mobster. when you examine his business biography, did you notice that

unite his party and rally a new america majority he needs a cause bigger than his business biography. americans will not follow him merely because he slav saved olympics or ran a privateic equity firm? does he loack the leadership tht inspires voters? i don t think so. if you look foels you are siting they consistently the number one issue on the minds of voters are jobs and the economy. that s what they are most concerned about. it s not going to be a referendum on romney it will be a referendum on obama and his handling of the economy. because of his business background and his plans let me offer one of his plans. governor romney s tax plan. let s put it up on the screen here. here are the five main components of the tax plan. it was studied closely by the
