Huntsman Doesn't Regret Working for Obama

abc News reports:

The Republican who President Obama appointed as his Ambassador to China – and who could be the 2012 challenger Democrats fear most – has no regrets about accepting a post in a Democratic administration. In fact, he said he wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

“I'd do it again. Of course. I've always been trained and I hope to train my own family that when your country needs you…if there is the prospect that you can get in there and bring about change in a way that helps your country through public service, I'm there,” Jon Huntsman told me in an exclusive interview.

I spoke to the former Utah governor as he kicked off his inaugural trip to New Hampshire. Huntsman told me he is “close” to making a decision about a presidential bid. So I asked him how – after serving in the Obama administration for two years - does he stand a chance at winning the Republican nomination?

“The president asked me, the president of all the people. And during a time of war, during a time of economic difficulty for our country, if I'm asked by my president to serve, I'll stand up and do it,” he said.
