Is Obama Considering Romney For SecDef Position?
Wednesday, November 7, 2012 20:05

What position should Romney get in Obama’s cabinet?
Obama nominated Hillary for SOS when he won. Obama likes his “Team of Rivals” strategy. Should Obama nominate Romney for a cabinet position? Maybe Secretary of State? How about Treasury or Commerce?
Fantasy: (The first one, which is really a fantasy, would be to have Mitt Romney become Secretary of Defense. I always thought Romney was too unprincipled for the Presidency, but his CEO background made him perfect to whip into shape that bloated, lumbering, incomprehensible bureaucracy, the Pentagon, as we wind down our overseas adventures. Politically, it would be a coup for President Obama to appoint his former challenger to a top cabinet post, like he did with Hillary Clinton in ’08. But I’m aware that the two men have too much enmity for the idea to be realistic.)
