Subject: Working in the Private Sector

On a recent Glenn Beck Show, 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….....  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%
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 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.

GOD HELP US

Dear poor, dumb ‘n inept little Lorna,

image Apparently you do not yet understand, or for whatever reason have not yet been fully awed by nor bowled-over by the Obama orb of messianic awesomeness of all get out.  You may need Obama to explain it to you after he gets done explaining his government-run “health care” system to you.  Please prostrate yourself to the Obama orb of awesomeness —or alternately bend over — and allow the Obama orb to bowl you over and consume you such that you understand the greatness that is “progressive” politics.

May the orb be with you.  Obama is great.

Joel

COMMENTS

Comments do not necessarily reflect or in any way represent the opinion of the main blog entry writer or owner of this site, and claims to the contrary are spurious. Distasteful, abusive, hateful, or annoying remarks will likely be deleted; but since this is a relatively open forum, bad comments may accidentally remain on this site. The fact that a comment remains does not indicate an endorsement of the views.

    Forgive me for my ineptness and my dumbness, oh, wise Joel.

    I think it’s because I’m blonde and therefore, have no concept of the greatness of Obama, the anointed one.

    All of my thoughts are consumed with how capitalism can survive, how it will be the private sector, businesses big and small that will bring America out of its recession, not cap and trade, business takeovers and taxing the middle class to its limit.

    Forgive me my dumbness, Joel, I am not wise like the great and powerful Obama…..

    FYI-If I try and bend over (with my bad knee) I’ll need some help from our state run health care system to return to my standing state - in other words, I’ll be bent over for a long time…..... LOL

    “I am a Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and for all mankind.”

    The Right Honourable John G. Diefenbaker, Prime Minister of Canada, House of Commons Debates on the Cdn. Bill of Rights, July 1, 1960
