David Boren Shuts Door On Obama Post

University of Oklahoma President David Boren said today he's not interested in leaving Oklahoma to serve in a Barack Obama administration.

"I made a decision a long time ago to come home," Boren said at a press conference of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

Boren said he had congratulated President-elect Obama earlier this week via text message.

He would be willing to offer advice to Obama so long as he was able to stay president of OU and continue living in Oklahoma, he said.

"I definitely am not looking for a full-time position that would take me out of the state of Oklahoma," Boren said.
