Romney’s excellent speech (with video links)

I’ve been tough on Mitt Romney and leaned hard on his campaign to take the gloves off, get in the fighting spirit, and push back against Obama narratives.

Today in Irwin, Pennsylvania, Romney delivered.

The Right Scoop has both excerpts and full speech video clips.

Watch here.

As I noted on Twitter during the speech earlier this afternoon, Romney impressed with both the substance and the delivery of his rallying cry on behalf of individual achievement and free enterprise. He was energetic and passionate.

I believed in what he was selling: A vision for restoring American greatness and defending success.

Obama’s inability to hide his ideological contempt for entrepreneurs & individual success has helped Romney self-actualize.

If he gives this speech with the same zeal and optimism from now until November — offering a clear, unapologetic contrast to Barack Obama’s bitter politics of resentment, class warfare, and entitlement, Mitt Romney will win.

More praise for Romney’s speech here.

Yup-Mitt came off like a real guy with something real to say, about a real situation.

I don’t know about you, but I am real tired of this whole Obama cult thing... it’s too creepy!

As one of the FReepers who want to see Obama severely beaten in November, I have been critical of Romney because he has not campaigned to beat Obama.

By watching the 10 minute clip of this speech, I can see why he has been such a Milktoast Candidate.

When he read his speech Romney was the wimp that he has been against Obama.

Then he looked away from his speech, his voice pitch went higher, his word flow was less regulated, and HE CONNECTED WITH HIS AUDIENCE!

Then he went back to glancing at his speech, the audience started to fidget, until Romney once again looked away from the lectern and re-connected with his audience.

Romney got a standing ovation when he brought God into his speech.

Lessons from the speech are there for all to see, unless you are one of Romney’s advisors, speechwriters, or PR empty suits - - - .

BTW Romney, keep up this style of speech delivery, and you just might avoid being DUMPED in Tampa by a First Ballot ABSTAIN vote.

BTW, BTW, just go ahead and DUMP your damn Haaaaaaaarvud staff now, as they have proven that they do not have the guts to beat Obama.

Pick Oil Patch Oliver, or Housewife Hannah, or another Joe the Plumber to write your campaign speeches.

Tick-Tock.

Still watching the speech. Mitt...FINALLY.. is hitting on all cylinders. I’ve never seen him light up a crowd like he’s done here.

Did Mr. RomneyCARE RETRACT his position on DEATH PANELS and socialized medicine? Did he? Did Mr. RomneyCARE apologize to Gov Palin and the conservatives he attacked to make Obama pOTUS?

We got it, Dio. Obama's your guy.

I just ignore him now. When I see his posts, I don’t read them; they are filled with the same old drivel. If we all ignore him maybe he’ll join DU.

Go Romney go! Get the obamination out of the WH!

Yes! Go Romney Go!

And I never thought I’d say that... This speech tells me he believes in this country.

I could see sincerity in Romney’s eyes and facial expression. Well done and keep it coming!

Are you proposing he mimic Obama by utilizing a teleprompter so as to look like he has it all in his head :)

Who the hell was that brain dead drone over Romney’s left shoulder? They didn’t do any good at all in selecting the back drop subjects.

Geesh, what a group of trolls.
