The Obama Administration and private business

Here’s information on the percentage of each past president’s cabinet who worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to their  cabinet positions

Uhhh…you know, "the private business sector"? As in…a real-life business, not a government job?  Here are the percentages of Presidential Cabinet members who DID work in the private sector prior to being appointed:

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%
Obama…………………………8%

See that last percentage? That’s right, only eight percent…the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents. And these people are trying to tell large corporations how to run their businesses?

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 the 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They’ve got the same problem: By far they have spent most of their time in academia, government, and/or non-profit jobs…or as "community organizers."

Gee…have you ever noticed that we never see these facts in the mainstream media? So spread the word: Tell people to come to GraniteGrok.com and see for themselves!
