CNN panel to Obama: Appoint Romney as ‘secretary of business’

A CNN panel of journalists and other experts on Wednesday called on President Barack Obama to appoint former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney as the “secretary of business.”

CNN host Wolf Blitzer noted that Obama would need to name new cabinet members after being re-elected and it would be “a pretty good idea” to choose some Republicans.

“Look at what the president did last night in his speech,” Republican strategist Alex Castellanos remarked. “He said he was going to call Mitt Romney and talk about how to move forward together. That was incredibly generous and also incredibly smart politically.”

Blitzer suggested that Obama could “go bold” and pick someone like Romney as the secretary of Treasury.

Yeah, that will happen.
