An Open Letter to the President-Elect

Dear President Elect Obama,

Please read the follow opinion from the New York Times before proceeding:

So, you're probably wondering why I asked you to read an opinion editorial written by a former Massachusetts Governor and a one time Republican Presidential candidate. Because this is your chance! This is your chance to prove me and all my conservative friends wrong. This is your chance to be the "Great Uniter" that you said you would be. This is your chance to appoint Mitt Romney to the role of Treasury Secretary.

Don't stop reading now! Look, Henry Paulson is failing miserably. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he's not getting it done. Mitt Romney is a successful business man who obviously gets it. Look at the intelligence and common sense approach he wants to take with the auto industry. He understands what needs to be done to get things going again. He understands that, if the government must provide bail out money, lets spend it on development of new technologies, not just give blank checks to bad business people.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still against the government bailout, but the money's out there now. Tax payers are on the hook for billions. So, I figure we might as well put someone competent in charge of it. Here's your chance Mr. Obama...prove me wrong, do what's best for the country and make Mitt Romney your Treasury Secretary, and put him in charge of the economic bailout.

Sincerely,
One concerned American
