On a recent Glenn Beck Show (on FOX.News), he had a graph that illustrated the percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is ... a real life business, not a government job.
Here are the percentages discussed by Mr. Beck.
T. Roosevelt
Taft
Wilson

Coolidge

Obama ... 8% !!!Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent!!! The least by far of the last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM ... Chrysler ... Wall Street ... and you and me?
How can the president of a major nation and society ... the one with the most successful economic system in world history ... stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one??! And neither has 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers! They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs ... or as "community organizers”... when they should have been in an employment line.
