[ applause ] >> i am deeply honored and excited to join you as your running mate. i wanted to tell you about mitt romney. mitt romney is a leader with the skills, the background and the character that our country needs at this crucial time in its history. [ applause ]

>> following four years of failed leadership with our country that could have inspired the world is growing dim. they need somebody to revise them. governor romney is the man for this moment.

solution. [ applause ] >> other thing my dad would always say is that every generation of americans leaves their children better off. that is the american legacy. sadly, for the first time in our history we are on a path which will undo that legacy. that is why we need new leadership to be part of the solution. new leadership to restore prosperity, economic growth and jobs! [ cheers and applause ] >> it is our duty to save the american dream for our children and theirs. [ applause ] >> i believe there is no person

in america who is better prepared because of his experience, because of the principles he holds and because of his achievements and excellence in so many different arenas to lead america at this point in our history. [ applause ] >> let me say a word about the man mitt romney is about to replace. no one dispuilts that president obama inherited a difficult situation. in his first two years with his party in control of washington he passed nearly every item on his agenda but that didn't make things better. in fact, we find ourselves as a nation facing debt, doubt and

despair. this is worst economic recovery in 70 years. unemployment has been above 8% for more than three years. the longest run since the great depression. families are hurting. we have the largest deficit and the biggest federal government since world war ii. nearly one out 6 six americans are in poverty, the worst rate in a generation. moms and dads are struggling to make ends meet. household incomes have dropped more than $4,000 over the past four years. whatever the explanation, whatever the excuses this is a record of failure. [ applause ] >> president obama and too many of him like in washington have

refused to make difficult decisions because they are more worried about their next election than they are about the next generation. we might have been able to get away with that before but not now. we are in a difficult and dangerous moment. we railroad running out of time. we can't afford four more years of this. politicians from both parties have made empty promises which will soon become broken promises with painful consequences if we fail to act now. [ applause ] >> i represented a part of america that includes inner cities, rural areas, suburbs and factory towns.

over the years i have seen and heard from a lot of families, from a lot of those running small businesses and from people who are in need. from what i've heard lately, that is what troubles me the most. there is something different in their voice, in their words. what i hear from them are diminished dreams, lowered expectations, uncertain futures. i hear some people this is just the new normal. higher unemployment, declining incomes and crushing did he the is not a new normal. [ applause ] >> it is the result of misguided policies. next january our economy will begin to come back with the romney plan for a stronger middle-class that will lead to more jobs and more take home pay

for working americans. [ applause ] >> america is on the wrong track. mitt romney and i will take the right steps and the right time to get us back on the right track. [ applause ] >> i believe that my record of getting things done in congress will be very helpful compliment to governor romney's private success outside of washington.

economy. someone who knows from experience that if you have a small business, you did build that! [ applause ] >> at bain capital, he launched new businesses and he has turned around failing ones, companies like staples and sports authority just to name few. mitt romney created jobs and he showed he knows how a free economy works. at the olympics, he took a failing enterprise and made it the pride of our entire nation.

[ applause ] >> we look at one another's success with pride, not resentment. we know -- we know that as more

americans work hard, take risks, succeed, more people will prosper. our communities will benefit and individual lives will be uplifted and improved. [ applause ] >> america is more than just a place, though. america is an idea. it's the only country founded on an idea. our rights come from nature and god, not from government. [ cheers and applause ] >> that's right. that is who we are. that is how we built this

country. that is who we are. that is what made us great. that is our founding. we promised equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. [ applause ] >> this idea was founded on the principles of liberty, freedom, free enterprise, self-determination and government by consent of the governed. [ applause ] >> this idea is under assault. so we have a critical decision to make as a nation.

we are on an unsustainable path that is robbing america of our freedom and security. it doesn't have to be this way. 9 commitment mitt romney and i make to you is this. we won't duck the issues, we will lead.
