Mitt Romney moves toward presidential run; Mormon faith still an issue?

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney announced Monday that he is taking the first steps toward a presidential run by forming an exploratory committee.

Romney announced the start of his exploratory committee with a YouTube video. He said his knowledge as a business leader is what America needs to fix high foreclosure and unemployment rates and the economic unrest.

As the founder of a business, he said, “I learned how America competes with companies in other countries, why jobs leave and how jobs are created here at home.”

He contends that President Obama and his administration lack this business sense and that America needs new leadership. “With able leadership, America’s best days are still ahead,” he said.
