23. You're right...Romney has been a vulture capitalist...

...and he was very successful at it.

Maybe Romney would be open to doing the right thing--and directing his talents and business brain toward the common good.

I know it's not the same situation--but when Obama made Hillary Secretary of State it unified our party and healed wounds.

Our nation is divided--to the point that we aren't even speaking the same language any more. People "defriend" neighbors, colleagues, family members and friends--because they don't like their politics. We watch different television channels and we eat different chicken! It's getting ridiculous.

I say, bold moves--that allow Obama to stay true to his goals for this nation--but do some of the healing work that desperately needs to get done.
