GREELEY, Colo. Today both GOP contenders were mocking President Obamas suggestion, made in an MSNBC interview earlier in the week, to create a Secretary of Business. In the battleground state of Colorado, Ryan told a crowd of 1,000 assembled in the parking lot of an events center that the president cant run on the broken promises, but that he did come up with a new idea the other day.
He wants to create a new secretary of business, Ryan said. We already have a secretary of business. Its actually called secretary of commerce. Thats what this agency does. Let me ask you a question: Can anybody name our current secretary of commerce? You know why? We dont have one! Its been vacant for over four months we dont need another bureaucrat or another bureaucracy, we need another president.

In Roanoke, Va., earlier today Romney went after the president, saying, I dont think adding a new chair in his cabinet will help add millions of jobs on Main Street.
We dont need a secretary of business to understand business, we need a president who understands business and I do! Romney said

Rmoney is for starving companies of operating cash and then outsourcing their product to China.

That won't happen. It would be a bad-faith move toward those who re-elected him
