Mitt Romney announced Monday that he is forming a Presidential Exploratory Committee in a YouTube video posted via Twitter. Big shocker, right? This guy’s been running since 2007; but I guess its finally “official”; well almost.
Here’s the video and here’s the Tweet.
WASHINGTON POST: “It is time that we put America back on a course of greatness with a growing economy, good jobs and fiscal discipline in Washington,” Romney said in a web video announcing his intentions.
In the video, Romney focuses almost exclusively on the economy, touting his experience in creating jobs and balancing budgets in the private sector.
“From my vantage point in business and in government, I have become convinced that America has been put on a dangerous course by Washington politicians, and it has become even worse during the last two years,” said Romney. “But I am also convinced that with able leadership, America’s best days are still ahead.”
