Quote from piezoe:
Perhaps, but isn't that what Obama is still doing anyway when he says: "Mitt Romney wants to go back to the same old tired policies that got us into this mess."
Yes,but picking a VP that held 2 major economic positions in Bush's cabinet for 8 years can make it a much bigger issue especially where Obama needs it most,the economy,debts and deficits
Portmens last cabinet position under Bush
Office of Management and Budget
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is a Cabinet-level office, and is the largest office within the Executive Office of the President of the United States
Mission
The OMB's predominant mission is to assist the President in overseeing the preparation of the federal budget and to supervise its administration in Executive Branch agencies. In helping to formulate the President's spending plans, the OMB evaluates the effectiveness of agency programs, policies, and procedures, assesses competing funding demands among agencies, and sets funding priorities. The OMB ensures that agency reports, rules, testimony, and proposed legislation are consistent with the President's Budget and with Administration policies.
In addition, the OMB oversees and coordinates the Administration's procurement, financial management, information, and regulatory policies. In each of these areas, the OMB's role is to help improve administrative management, to develop better performance measures and coordinating mechanisms, and to reduce any unnecessary burdens on the public.
