Note………..some very interesting statistics………….and all of record!
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!

It is easy to hate and even easier to find reasons to hate. It takes time and effort to find the truth…

In fact, 7 of 9 appointees study identified as jobs-related have private sector experience. The study Gingrich cited, which was promoted by the American Enterprise Institute, was authored by Michael Cembalest, chief investment officer for J.P. Morgan Private Bank, who examined the private sector experience of “secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy, and Housing & Urban Development” for several administrations. After Fox News host Glenn Beck stated that “[u]nder 10 percent of [Obama's] appointees have any experience in the private sector,” PolitiFact.com called the claim “False,” noting that Cembalest said he “discount[ed] the corporate experience of the three lawyers we identified — Clinton, Vilsack and Locke — and added that he awarded nothing for Donovan, Chu or Salazar, even though we found they had a fair amount private sector experience”:
I am not an Obama fan, in fact I do not trust the man and consider him a far-left radical. Neither am I am American (I am Canadian). But I must agree with “MC”, it is too easy to find reasons to hate someone than to find the truth. I find too much is circulated on the Internet (by liberals as well as conservatives) that lacks proper referencing and checking. It is caused by a combination of human nature and the technology. But blogs and sites that want to be taken serious should be more careful in their due diligence.
