Obama is expected to be The One to fix the economy. We are all looking to him and his administration to come up with the ideas that will solve the economic woes of this counrty. However, his administration is full of cronies, government hacks, placemen, and hangerson. He himself has never held a private sector job. He knows nothing about business other than what he might have read, and neither do his henchmen (and women). Should we expect anything more than for him to fail miserably? It's like asking someone to fly a plane who has never flown, but read a book once. WON'T WORK stupid!!!
Past presidents tried to make for this by having people in their administration that had much private sector experience, not political hacks.
For example: Almost 40% of William Howard Taft’s cabinet officials were from the private sector. Ike had nearly 60% of his appointees sporting private sector experience. Reagan had about 55% and George W. Bush about 53%. Even FDR and Truman saw half their cabinet officials coming to government with private sector experience.
And Obama? Less than 10%!!!
That means that only about 7% of Barack Obama’s cabinet appointees ever worked in the private sector. So is it any wonder that Obama has become the president responsible for an unprecedented bloating of the federal government and a take over of power on a scale never before seen?
