44. Please, God, NOOOO! Mitt Romney will just use it for his own personal profit.

Nov 2012

He should not have any ties to tax payer money.. EVER!!

After all the shit he said about our President, rewarding him after the fact isn't "shrewd" at all.
It's masochistic. He will continue to bash the President for not doing things his way.
He only knows how to make money from destroying people's lives. He has NEVER saved one
job. He only cares about stock holders, especially himself.

ALSO, the republicans will be gunning for ANY REASON AT ALL to try to impeach President Obama.
If republicans have a guy like Romney on the inside, they will use him to set up the President.

This is a REALLY BAD IDEA.
