Cabinet role for Mitt Romney would be a shrewd move
Boston Herald ^ | November 8, 2012 | Joe Battenfeld

Posted on 11/08/2012 5:46:39 PM PST by ConservativeStatement

President Obama’s post-election offer to sit down with vanquished GOP rival Mitt Romney has spurred talk of a possible White House role for Romney, a move that could help calm jitters on Wall Street and warm the partisan chill on Capitol Hill.

Romney is still licking his wounds from the devastating loss, and supporters say he’s more concerned now with being with family than working with Obama.

The only reason this article was written was to pile on conservatives that are down and out. I would personally like to fistfight that bozo, and show him how to have a little respect. Obama might actually want Romney to help him fix the economy because he can’t. Romney wouldn’t even think about it because he knows it’s not possible with Obama’s policies. Since we are now outnumbered by those who want free stuff like $20 cheap ass obamaphones, it no longer matters about the economy. It will never be fixed. The same policies will be in place for the rest of my life. They haven’t worked and never will work. We might as well accept it. Even though almost half this country wants to uphold the constitution and maintain the pride of America that our forefathers and fathers fought for, we will never have the numbers to stop them. I’m seriously considering just quitting work and going into survival mode now. I can stop paying paying payroll taxes and stop feeding the leeches of the left’s slave encampment. Why not? Maybe I will.

I can’t imagine mitt would want to be associated with any of the people in this administration or anything they do.

Dangerous ground:

Romney cares about the country so he would probably take it. It would annoy both the left and right. If Romney fixed financial issues and Obama takes credit there would be a storm brewing.

He would do it for the country , not Obama .
Both democrats and republicans serve in combat.
They fight for the country , not the president.

Even if he could help and make a positive contribution to the country I cringe at the idea.

Yes. I still cringe at the idea of Romney taking an offer.

A guy who wants Susan Rice to be his next Secretary of State is not going to choose Romney to be in his cabinet.

I would like to see him do it for the sake of country... however I can not see helping this misguided man we have to call President again to become a success when he has the BAD policies... So MITT bails out his bad model then claims victory?

Since it is agreed 0 ran a mostly negative campaign against Romney that was successful one would wonder if it was all smoke and mirrors when suddenly the object of all that villification shows up in the administration.
