(17,111 posts)President Obama could make him an envoy to The Mormon Church. They try to function as they want to like The Vatican.
He has little or no credibility since he lost.

(16,038 posts)seems the one thing they both ardently agree on..so sad that the Democratic party has abandoned labor and become repubs on this issue.

(3,502 posts)Mitt Romney can serve an object lesson to others. That's about it. Just read that Mittens will be joining one son's investment firm. That's probably about right. He really does have nothing to offer any administration. His one term as governor of a state that now loathes does not recommend him to any position that I can think of. OK, maybe if we get the Olympics he could work on that. Or not.
This lunch has to be one of those awkward occasions where the host really doesn't want to extend the invitation and the guest would prefer not to have to accept but everyone has their part to play so they do it. But something good can still come out of this sit down, as in a good comedy skit. SNL? Key and Peele?

(1,593 posts)The wife and were talking yesterday evening about their luncheon today ... we were imagining that at some point Romney was going to have a breakdown ... crying and muttering to himself that "... This was supposed to be mine. This was supposed to be mine ..."

(31,706 posts)Someone was playing around with this concept yesterday...along the lines of the Willie Sutton theory. If you want to learn how to clean up the loopholes and how people are able to ferret money away, find and hire someone who does it. I'm betting Willard knows about loopholes the IRS has never heard of. What President Obama does to get Willard to cooperate is to claim he's only going after SOME of the rich...insinuate that Willard might be one who is exempt...then when he shows us all the loopholes, nail his ass for back taxes.
