    Default Hussein's cabinet's private sector experience

    No surprise here...

    TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT OBAMA'S CABINET .... - Nealz Nuze on boortz.com

    Last year J.P. Morgan thought it might be interesting to look into the private sector experience of Obama's Cabinet. America, after all, was in the middle of an economic disaster and the thought was that the president might actually look to some people with a record of success in the private sector for advice. So a study is done comparing Obama's Cabinet to the cabinets of presidents going back to 1900. secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy and Housing and Urban Development were included. The J.P Morgan study looked at the percentages of cabinet members with prior private sector experience, and the results were amazing.

    The presidential cabinet with the highest percentage of private sector experience was that of Dwight Eisenhower at around 58%. The lowest --- until Obama --- was Kennedy at about 28%. The average ran between 35% and 40% ... until, as I said, Obama. Care to guess what percentage of Obama's cabinet has prior private sector experience? Try 7%.

    So ... now you might have a better idea why Obama can't quite figure out how to grow jobs in the private sector. He's a big-government president with a bit-government cabinet. When your cabinet is made up almost wholly of people with nothing but government experience with a sprinkling of academia behind them you have to know that the private sector is going to not only get short shrift .. but it's going to be pretty much abused or ignored. To Obama and his advisors the private sector exists to support and fund the federal government ... and little more.

    News flash!! The government has been run by the CFR since Nixon. Why do you think that no matter what the people want they always end up with what is on the agenda of the CFR and the project for a new American century?
    Right now I'm having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.
    I think I've forgotten this before.

    That's odd, your post says nothing about Hussein? I thought they hung him.

    Some people just refuse to show the President any respect. But in the big picture that really is a minor point. Such prejudice is found on all sides, in all eras. However the quality of the topic remains relative, interesting, and worthy of discussion. This administration, along with the Congressional leadership, is the closest thing we've yet seen to a Progressive's dream government. Given enough support they will set policy that seeks their version of fairness for all via redistribution of wealth. However, some of these new leaders and their policies seem more intent on payback rather than fairness (some of their writings even point to that).

    It will be difficult to prove they are trying to "payback". But it won't be difficult at all to grade their ability to manage the nation.

    Progressive are a minority in the Democratic party.

    This is why I specified only the leadership of Congress, which is working in concert with the administration.

    Where in the constitution does it say the federal government cannot redistribute wealth?

    I agree. Anyone who insists on using Obama's middle name...... immediately exposes himself as an ideologue & I assume the rest of his post will be simply sticking his tongue out! No point reading any further.
