Mitt Romney is a nice man. Decent, dedicated to his faith and family. But, he just isn't cut from the right of cloth.

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney (click here) told supporters Friday that he's decided to skip a 2016 presidential race, putting an end to weeks of serious consideration about a third try for the White House.

The 2012 GOP presidential nominee informed his staff and then key supporters in separate conference calls.

"After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I've decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee," Romney said, according to remarks posted on Twitter by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt....

Government doesn't have to be kind to financial giants when those giants will put a large percentage of Americans in unemployment, home foreclosure with economic losses at least $1.7 trillion. There is just no way that friends of Wall Street are also friends of Main Street. 

We are still putting it all back together and doing a good job of it. But, some citizens suffered unmercilessly and some aren't with us anymore. I suppose when a private equity firm is looking at huge amounts of monies in pensions and warehouses full of unsold merchandise the answer appears to be a garage sale. That is not the right answer. The answer is better merchandising and expanding markets, sort of like the Former Bill Clinton carried out.

I wish Mr. Romney and his family happiness.  

Peace.
