The
percentage of the presidential cabinet members who have had private-sector experience
before being appointed to the Cabinet.
Here's the percentage of each recent past president's cabinet who had worked in
the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know
that the private business sector is a real-life business, not a government job.
Here
are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt...38
Taft...........40
Wilson ........52
Harding........49
Coolidge...... 48
Hoover ........42
F. Roosevelt...50
Truman.........50
Eisenhower.....57
Kennedy........30
Johnson........47
Nixon..........53
Ford...........42
Carter.........32
Reagan.........56
GHW Bush...... 51
Clinton . .....39
GW Bush........55
Obama..........
8
This
helps to explain the incompetence of this administration. Only 8 percent of them
have ever worked in private business!
The last time Obama worked in a private business he was flipping burgers or scooping
ice cream as a high school kid in Hawaii. That's right. Barry was not born in
Hawaii but he did live there while in high school.
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 after high school?
And when it's the same for 92 of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've
spent most of their time in academia, government and/or nonprofit jobs or as "community
organizers." They should have been in an employment line.
Senator
Joe McCarthy would have charged many of Obama's egg-heads for communist,
Marxist, and socialist** affiliations and associations.
