Now Obama has to work to heal the hurt created by the negative campaign. The best way to do that is by naming Romney Secretary of Business as he did when he named Hillary as Secretary of State. This will show good faith and bring confidence to those who want someone who understands business in office.
dww – Romney has no business being appointed to any position in government. His MA record bears that out.
Wait a minute, take my blessings...here they are.
Hold the line Republicans. President Obama please take a long look in the mirror, nearly half of the nation is against many of your positions and policies. Dont expect congress to be flexible, we put them there, if you are unwilling to do so!!
A FAILED PRESIDENCY!? This is what history will say about Obama IF he cannot bring EVERYONE together to make an honest effort to solve these many problems. IF republicans remain the party of NO, I see them being relagated to a 5th party status, resulting in the two main parties being democrat and independants! Just this morning I hear that Bohner made a statement, "comprimise is not an option"!? IF true, and he represents the republican party, then they are in big trouble. BUT, more importantly, WE & OUR country will be in big trouble!
