He didn’t say he would appoint him, just that he’d be a good choice. He also said the president(?) of E-Bay would be a good choice. He really didn’t answer.
@ lefteh: As much as I admire Warren Buffet and would love to have him advise me, I don’t feel that his mentality is quite fitted to this particular position, nor do I feel that he would even enjoy it. He enjoys his small town and doing what he does best, not so much the politics that this position is laden with.
I don’t think Warren Buffet would accept this position. I am sure that he would have to put his stuff in some kind of blind trust/management.
Why would WB want the job?
