NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Post has endorsed Gov. Mitt Romney for president.

In an editorial Thursday, the newspaper cited what it calls "America's woeful economy and the demonstrated inability of President Obama to cope with it." 

It says Obama claims he inherited the mess. But the Post says the president has "done nothing to fix it."

The paper says the debates showed Romney has the experience and temperament to address America's economic woes instead of "just blaming others."

On foreign policy, the paper said the unrest in the Middle East "testifies to Obama's inability to get the job done."
