In general the cost to run for POTUS way exceeds the final pay-packet. In fact the POTUS salary is used as the unofficial salary cap of the US government.

Of course there are things Romney want to do. But he would try to keep everyone who voted for him happy. This would require continue his policies of saying everything others want to hear and nothing to do with what he actually does behind closed doors.
