Romney for President
"The Promise of America" +
2:30 web video from May 30, 2012.
[Music]
Romney:
“[O]ver the last three
and a half years, we have seen hopes and dreams diminished by false
promises and weak leadership.”
Romney:
“Americans are tired
of being tired.”
Romney:
“[T]o all of the
thousands of good and decent Americans I’ve met who want nothing more
than a better chance, a fighting chance…Hold on a little longer. A
better America begins tonight.”
Romney: “We launched this campaign not far from here on a beautiful day in June on a farm in New Hampshire.”
Romney:
"[T]hough
each
of
us
has chosen to walk a different path in life, we are
united by one great overwhelming passion. We love America.
We believe in America."
Romney: "It’s been an extraordinary journey.”
Bret
Baier, FOX News: "Mitt Romney will win big tonight."
Romney: “We have a moral responsibility to keep America the strongest nation on Earth, the hope of the Earth, the shining city on a hill.”
Baier:
"Mitt
Romney will triumph... "
Wolf Blitzer, CNN:
"...a huge
win..."
Baier: "...a big win
for Mitt Romney."
Romney:
"This
president puts his faith in
government; we put our faith in the American people."
Baier:
"The
former Massachusetts governor dominated across
all demographic lines..."
Romney:
"And
when
we
gather back here in Tampa seven months from now for our
convention, ours will be a united party with a winning ticket for
America."
Romney: “It
is an America driven by freedom, where free people, pursuing happiness
in their own unique ways, create free enterprises that employ more and
more Americans.”
Romney: “I
see an
America with a growing middle class, with rising standards of living. I
see children even more successful than their parents…and others
congratulating them for their achievement, not attacking them for it.”
Romney:
“[J]oin me
in the next step toward that destination of November 6th, when across
America we can give a sigh of relief and know that the promise of
America has been kept. The dreamers can
dream a little bigger, the help wanted signs can be dusted off, and we
can start again. And this time we’ll get it
right.”
Romney: “Our
greatest days are ahead. We are, after all, Americans. God bless this
great nation, God bless the United States of America, and God bless you
good people. Thank you so much. Thank you.”
Notes:
According to the description, "It has almost been one year since Mitt
Romney announced his campaign
for president in Stratham, New Hampshire. As he clinches the delegates
needed for the Republican nomination, we look back on this journey to
restore the promise of America."
This rather celebratory video strings together
snippets of Romney speeches accompanied by swelling music. (It
has a bit of the Lucas R. Baiano style, but much toned down).
Some of the
footage from the announcement in Stratham has appeared before.
Most of the footage is Romney campaign-related; there are moderately
few stock scenes, for example an aerial view of a combine harvesting.
