Ann Romney: I Asked Mitt If He Could 'Save America' And He Said 'Yes'

Ann Romney at an event in North Charleston, South Carolina, said she asked her husband, Mitt, if he could “save America.” And Mitt Romney said he could.

The line came while Ann Romney was explaining that she was apprehensive to participate in another lengthy presidential campaign.

Oh my god America is doomed. What's with all the conservative fear BS. Because the president is black suddenly America is about to collapse? Just freaking offensive.

"LDS attachment to the Constitution has been further encouraged by an important oral tradition deriving from a statement attributed to Joseph Smith, according to which the Constitution would "hang by a thread" and be rescued, if at all, only with the help of the Saints. Church President John Taylor seemed to go further when he prophesied, "When the people shall have torn to shreds the Constitution of the United States the Elders of Israel will be found holding it up to the nations of the earth and proclaiming liberty and equal rights to all men" (JD 21:8). To defend the principles of the Constitution under circumstances where the "iniquity," or moral decay, of the people has torn it to shreds might well require wisdom at least equal to that of the men raised up to found it. In particular, it would require great insight into the relationship between freedom and virtue in a political embodiment of moral agency." (Encyclopedia of Mormonism, Vol. 1, 1992)


Sad if it weren't so scary.

"save America"?

If I asked someone if they could "save America", they'd send me to a psychiatrist.
