RNC Chairman Reince Priebus praised Mitt Romney as a “true leader” in his speech on the first night of the Republican National Convention Tuesday.

After “trying and troubling” years under President Obama, Priebus said, America needs Romney.

“I know and you know just the man for the job. He’s a family man, he’s a business man, he spent his career building successful companies,” Priebus said.

As for Obama, Priebus said, “we need Obama to turn around and go back to Chicago” — a reference to Romney’s history of turning around businesses.
