Boston Herald ^ | November 8, 2012 | Joe Battenfeld

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.

Yeah. And pigs may fly! Obama is ALL about Socialism. Romney would never fit into the milieu.

Romney is a very rich man he does not need a job. He offered to help us out of this mess we are in and he was rejected. He can now retire with a clear conscience and enjoy his children and grandchildren.

Yes, if he had anything to do with Obama afterwards it would make it too clear that our 2 parties are just different heads of the same hydra.

Obama has hidden behind white people long enough; he has been exposed as an incompetent affirmative action token (and America didn’t mind anyway).

I disagree. At this point people need jobs. If Romney knows how to do it. Hire him.

Why, so 0 can blame the fiscal cliff/economic collapse on Mitt?

If the campaign didn’t make me jump off a bridge, that would probably do it!

You mean set Romney up as a fall guy. If I were Romney I would never set foot near this group.

Obama has a job. That’s the only one he cares about.

I don’t see it being offered. I can’t imagine it being accepted. But, if it does happen I’ll never vote for another Republican again as long as I live.

"I don’t see it being offered. I can’t imagine it being accepted."

Agreed. Romney's plan would slash spending and keep the current tax rates or even lower them. This would meet with complete disapproval with Obama, his administration, and the DEMs.

Well said. The people had the chance to elect a man of impeccable character.

Didn’t Obama try this hat trick on his first term and the man got tired of the BS and quit. I forget who that was.
