Cabinet role for Mitt Romney?

[milhouse24]

If this actually happened, it would be Obama admitting to Americans and everyone in the world that he is a Fraud who has no idea what he's doing, and needs Mitt Romney to run the country for him, or at least the economy.  Obama might as well just resign and give Romney the presidency.

I didn't vote for Romney but he's a very smart guy. If anything, his most legitimate qualification to be president wasn't his private equity experience "creating jobs", it was his time as a management consultant learning how organizations work and how they can function better. You can apply those ideas to the public sector just as much as you can to the private sector.

I doubt he'd be willing to do something as un-glamorous as be the head of the Postal Service, but I'd imagine he could do very well at it.

There could well be Republicans in Obama's Cabinet again (ones not named Ray LaHood), but not Mitt Romney.

Jon Huntsman quit being Governor of Utah to become Ambassador to China...maybe there are other current GOP governors who would trade their current job for a Cabinet post or an ambassadorship.  Some farm state governor might see Secretary of Agriculture as a good career capper.

That looks not too dissimilar from the setup of my first computer a TRS-80 Color Computer which was maxed out with a full 32K of RAM.  It used an ordinary television as the monitor.

Obama can't add Romney to the cabinet

All government positions require 6 years of tax returns released.

why would Romney want some piss-ant $200k/yr bureaucrat gig when he can rake in eight figures in obscurity?

Was that in your basement?

Not going to happen for a few reasons -

1) Obama doesn't like Romney. The feeling's clearly mutual.

2) Romney has no redeeming qualities that would make him a good Cabinet member.

3) It's not like Romney is some kind of widely respected, popular figure in the Republican Party - there wouldn't be much political advantage to such an appointment.

4) Romney could make far more money in some private equity gig.

No, I've never even lived in a home with a basement.  But the relative placement of my computer and TV were the same as the typewriter and TV in that pic.

5) Romney's leadership skills are massively overrated.

Somebody had to say it.  Who better than the left leaning Forbes.

ORCA anyone?

Just glad we didn't turn over management of the US Government to this corporate raider.  You can't just extract profit from the US, sell it, and move on to the next strip mining operation.
