How about appoint Mitt Romney as an "economy czar" and Michael Bennet as head of the Department of Education?
I disagree with Romney on tons of issues but I will give him this he knows a lot about business.
Obama promised bipartisanship why not make a big statement on the most important issue facing the country?
Well the short answer is labor unions. Obama needs to do something to piss off the unions just a little bit because otherwise he's not going to get an education or economic reforms. Maybe the only person who the labor unions might support instead of Obama would be Huckabee. But Obama has four years to work around that. Maybe give them a nice health care package in exchange of performance pay or vouchers and Romney.
Look Obama has to fight the unions in order for this to work. I am not against unions per se but the unions need to wise up because the political pressure is too great.
As for Bennet, he's got some credentials for taking on labor unions when necessary. But he has worked with them not busted them. Teachers unions need to bite the bullet and make some compromises because honestly there are a lot of bad teachers. Saving the bad teachers should not be their priority. Educational competition is why America's college's are way above the rest of the world and also the lack of competition is the reason why our elementary through high schools are so terrible.
Will Bennet put out vouchers though. Probably not. Will he institute more competitive pay yes.

If we must put one man in power over the economy, Mitt Romney would truly make an excellent economic leader, so long as he focuses only on the economy.
