You say "Romney may not be the answer and you explain it this way: "My opinion is that Mitt Romney is a man of accomplishment and he carries himself that way. He knows how to make and has made tough decisions. Most importantly, he knows how to get things done even when he doesn't get everything he wants. Mostly Romney strikes me as a man who thinks about the larger picture and will lead that way."

The above is the quintessential description of a successful businessman.

"With that said, is he a little power hungry? Probably. Is he always telling the truth? Probably not."

Power "hungry" can mean wanting to be in control since being in control IS a position of power, it simply comes with the territory and this is not or should not be viewed as a negative. It is wholly dependent on the reason one wants to be in control. Id it for better or worse? Power for powers sake is not a good thing but power for good is a good thing. A person who has no desire to take the reigns of the most powerful country ever to exist has no business running for president of this country.

As for truth. No one can be said to never lie. There are lies and there are lies. If your wife or girlfriend asks you if the new dress she bought makes her ass look big are you saying you would say yes it does? If the reason for a lie is to keep and hold power, power which is used for personal gain rather than the betterment of the majority then it is problematic, otherwise the performance of the individual in the job is what is most important.
