I've heard -- -- -- -- acts president could this guy be the next Treasury Secretary and I think about it we could do worse than man.

Those will be -- press conference is the former Home Depot co-founder isn't.

Talking a life of policies -- -- hope they do influence politics lately putting his considerable -- and good name.

A behind the candidacy of one Mitt Romney.

-- says because it is time for big financial guns to put their money on the table and some skin in the game.

The time to whining is over he says the time for winning is now candidacy you when you think again Mitt Romney is the guy you have to make -- -- one.

Two things.

I think he's a man of enormous integrity character.

His wife last week that the -- easily as she got up spoke first she's only guarantee you one thing there's nothing Vermont has these past that we're ashamed ever embarrassed by.

She -- you gotta clean candidate you the second -- -- What's desperately needed in America they are jobs in the private sector.

And I believe this man is gonna be wide open.

For ideas and suggestions and encourage business.

Not like the Solyndra that I mean this this is a national disgrace 600.

Million dollars down the drain.

So I think Romney's got the right credentials.

I admire the man for the way he's living his life I do I think he's so but he wasn't your first -- Chris Christie was reversed and -- because I think there was there was a featuring Kristen I think he's unique.

Probably see -- and that was his ability to connect and say look you may not like -- but this is the way it is.

The guard and the beach quote he drifts off the big love the school the woman asked him about why is education is kid's mind your business that's what we my -- to -- Even now Mitt Romney doesn't say stuff like it's a different person -- -- OK he's a more but the critics and an Enron raises all over the map on some of these issues to look.

He would be whole idea.

Not only do that he's been on a couple of sides of the same position from time to time but I think.

Leader of politics.

And I'm not.

I have the luxury saying what I want the worst happens somebody comes up -- -- restaurant system really -- -- when I say -- -- may be right outcome they want him adult.

But he is a key reason is in the public arena.

He's got to remind global of those constituents and it's conceivable.

But I'll go back to what I said he's don't have business people around them he's gonna encourage people who don't think this is people can we'll an idea -- -- -- home people.

Come in with a -- more -- -- president should by design have.

People hired and fired don't work -- and all not people are academics business.

Absolutely.

Look at some of these corporate boards today.

When you've got -- -- professors and politicians sit there and these companies are going down a -- because it won't make a decision.

Absolutely.

Of -- -- could write something nice about what he probably what he might feel actuary and didn't end and what do they call it I understand -- -- and you can hear though that down.

Maybe the president is digging in his heels on this subject get a bill Daley's chief of staff.

It hasn't reduced -- -- it has been demoted.

So maybe that the closest thing this administration had to -- linked to the corporate community is now at best to goodwill and.
