VERY INTERESTING! 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.
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%
GH Bush........51%
Clinton .......39%
GW Bush........55%
And the winner of the Chicken Dinner
is... Obama....8% !!!
Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent! the least by far of the last
18 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??
