Ever Had A Job?

[Bill Brasky]

This may have already been discussed, but I saw this stat and thought it was interesting:


A graph that showed past presidents and the percentage of each
president's cabinet appointees who had previously worked in the
private sector, you know a real life business, not a government job?
Remember what that is? ....... A private business???

* Roosevelt - 38%*
*Taft - 40%*
* Wilson - 52%*
*Harding - 49%*
*Coolidge - 48%*
* Hoover - 42%*
*FDR - 50%*
*Truman - 50%*
*Eisenhower - 57%*
*Kennedy - 30%*
*LBJ - 47%*
*Nixon - 53%*
*Ford - 42%*
*Carter - 32%*
*Reagan - 56%*
*GHWB - 51%*
* Clinton - 39%*
*GWB - 55%

*And the Chicken Dinner Winner is.........................*



*Obama - 8%* ---- This is the guy who wants to tell YOU how to run YOUR life !!

ONLY ONE IN TWELVE in the Obama Cabinet HAS EVER HAD A JOB.


*YEP, EIGHT PERCENT! And these are the guys holding a "job summit" this week? It ought to go really well!

I see that GW Bush had a 55% score. Sure in the heck didn't help him.

You know, a total cluster**** of a government.

GWB is your daddy.

[ChipDog]

GW's dog, 'Barney Bush', has more experience than the current president.

Let's all remember that over 56 Million US Voters did not want the commune organizer, and that number has grown.

So you are saying that you prefer to have more of an Obama type administration and that you really didn't care for Bush?

Yeah he doesn't want bush, and most of his reasons for doing so are being increased by Obama. It doesn't make any sense.

Come on, don't play dumb. Anybody would be better than GW Bush, and that includes McCain. The whole idea that former employees of powerful special interests are somehow going to do a great job representing the best interests of the American people is an illusion promoted by those very same powerful special interests and has no basis in reality.

GW Bush was a disaster for protecting the environment, the economy, and our national security. Obama is doing a much better job on all 3 fronts although he needs to focus a lot more on deficit reduction and our national debt levels. Hard to do while we are in the middle of serious, serious recession.

It might not seem the right time to extend health care to the uninsured but if not now, when? The republicans have zero interests in EVER doing that and would just love to "start over" with a "clean sheet of paper" now that they have 41 votes in the Senate.

Ain't going to happen, Jack.

So, who would you like to run against Obama in 2012? Barney Bush?

I guess getting 1 out of 4 makes you right on everything salty.

That, my friend, is scary. I'm no huge GWB fan...but wow.

You have your opinion and I have mine. Just for the record, what makes you think that you're correct in your assessments of the political landscape?

[saltydawg]

That, my friend, is scary. I'm no huge GWB fan...but wow.

it's scary that you think my comment is scary.

[mildawg]

Yeah, old GWB was horrible on national security...

[saltydawg]

mildawg, I have you on ignore. Best of luck in your future activities.
