Obama Administration Has Less Private Sector Experience than Any Other.

[Polk]

I'm not sure how one can have more of an individual.

Why Wall Street specifically?

Because Wall st. caused the financial meltdown, and Wall st. is now lobbying frantically to stop Congress from imposing any regulations/controls to try to prevent the next meltdown.

Yeah, I realize that's the point you were aiming at. But isn't one extreme (little or no public sector input) and bad as another (little or no public sector experience)?

No, it's not. Careers in government are going to bring in people who end up looking at all sides of the issue and balance the concerns. Bring in people from the private sector is going to result in the agencies issuing and overturning regulations, whichever is relevant toward the goal, to help out their corporate buddies.

I have worked in school systems, sales and construction. The private sector businesses were always highly focused on the client, costs and results.

Everyone knows the people at the top (State, Treasury, AG, Defense), so let's take a look at some of the lower level cabinet posts.

Housing and Urban Development - Shaun Donovan - BA, MPA, MS in architecture, all from Harvard; interum Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multifamily Housing and Federal Housing Administration commissioner during the transition in 2000; head of New York City's Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Energy- Steven Chu - BS from University of Rochester and PhD in physics from University of California; won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997; professorship at Stanford; professor at Cal and head of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Education - Arne Duncan - BA in sociology (magna cum laude) from Harvard; director of the Ariel Education Initiative; head of Chicago Public Schools

Veterans Affairs - Eric Shinseki - BS from West Point, MA in English from Duke; retired four-star general

No long list of private sector jobs on any of those four resumes, but you would argue they're unqualified for the positions they hold?

So I guess we need more Dick Cheneys to run foreign policy and more guys from Wall St. to handle fiscal policy.

Oh good lord.

Of course they're fighting hard to stop more regulation. Because CONGRESS IS COMPLICIT in the disaster too and seems to be able to skate away without any repercussions for THEIR part in this disaster.

Bunch of mafioso politicos who are both criminal and law enforcement.

Yeah, makes me feel good and safe.

 

[amrchaos]

Actually, the title should say "Obama Administration Has Less Private Sector Experience than Any Other."

Does Obama Administration Have Less Business Experience?

HEHEHEHEHEHE

They did say they were going to change "Business as usual In D.C."--I guess that meant no Business as usual people in their administration.

HEHEHEHE--Now who's party supports the "business as usual" folks? Republicans! Proof is the graph!!

 

[Big Fitz]

You know. It's this kinda stuff that make me want a competency exam for all public office, results posted on the internet for the public to see. This is utter bullshit that this tard got elected.

Notice who the bottom feeders in this are:

Obama, Carter, Kennedy, Clinton, TR and Taft. All could be called progressives... except maybe Taft. I'm actually shocked with FDR and Wilson having so many. Then again, they were not so much anti-business as pro-socialism.

Harvard educations? Nobel Prizes? Army Chief of Staff?

Whats impressive about that?

I do miss all the graduates from Falwells Liberty University...who needs Harvard when you got Liberty?

Those who can, do
Those who can't do, teach,
Those who can't teach, report,
Those who can't report, agitate
Those who can't agitate, become internet tough guys.

(sorry, had to tweak this theory.)

I am curious, what are their policy stances. After all I do know Sec Chu wants to paint all roofs white to prevent global warming. This is NOT a vote of confidence in my book.

This kind of explains things.

The Community Organizer In Chief thinks the public sector is equal to, if not better than, the private sector. Just look how Obama's public experience has made him so successful as a president. ROLF!!!

 

[California Girl]

There's already a thread on this. Just sayin'.

 

[NYcarbineer]

So I guess we need more Dick Cheneys to run foreign policy and more guys from Wall St. to handle fiscal policy.

Cheney seemed to be on top of things quite nicely unlike this bunch of neophytes who can't even get their Afghanistan strategy straight AFTER 7 FRICKEN MONTHS!!!!!

Yeah, Cheney, the architect of America's worst foreign policy disaster in recent memory, that's the sort we need back in Washington.

Well think about this. Obama's been stuck in campaign mode since he first gained office in the STATE senate. He's never stopped. And now he's achieved the ultimate prize, and yet... he keeps campaigning.

The man's surrounded himselves with radicals, socialists, maoists, animal rights goofballs and all things hostile to the American Constitution. And we wonder why things are going so bad for him now? People are realizing that this goofus is just a little left of Eugene V. Debs and with less business experience.

Thankfully this tactic only covers BS so long, and then just like every other improperly disposed corpse, rot, stink and scavengers give it away.

I like the tone of your posts, you add to the board.

I, also, have the uneasy feeling that President Obama is not really President, just plays one on TV.

Or, as you put it, just keeps campaigning.

Indeed.

Obama doesn't have to be the smartest man in America, he just needs to surround himself with experts in every field. He has failed because the smartest, most successful, do not fit well with his ideology.

Nail on the head.

Those who are unable to see the big picture, will not understand that worldview is what is at the heart of the problem, the administration.

It's a straight line from John Dewey to Barack Obama.

"It's no accident that Dewey was one of the major inventors of both Progressive education and modern liberal Fascism. He was one of the triad that invented Pragmatism. (He called his version Instrumentalism.) He was also a social democrat and a proponent of doing away with classical education. All of these are intricately linked. Pragmatism essentially teaches that there are no eternal truths, because there are no objective natural laws. Everything is in Heraclitean flux, forever shifting. All we can do is arrive at a social consensus of what is true...[W]hat counts is not objective reality and what it requires of us to create values, but whatever others think is true and worthwhile. The political consequences are all around us.

Progressives are the consistent practitioners of what the Left has been preaching for three generations: social subjectivism, collectivism, and statism." Shaving Leviathan: Dewey to Obama: Progressive Education and Politics

Obama and his cabinet have never created wealth. They have only spent other people's wealth. Therfore they have no idea how wealth is created. It is a mindset. In their mind wealth is always out there among "the rich." It isn't earned. It isn't worked for. It just falls from the sky. And therfore it doesn't really belong to the people who earned it but to "society", i.e. the government.
We see this in their policies and pronouncements every day. Obama's "jobs summit" is the latest evidence. Everyone knows how you create jobs, except his administration apparently.

You are right, Obama is in eternal campaign mode. Many have questioned why, and it is my personal conclusion that Obama keeps pushing our country into socialism and away from our constitution not just so he can remake America in his own image (since he and his sheeple followers think Obama is god). Obama is trying to make America a mirror of Europe. Obama is pushing hard for Cap and Trade and the MMGW myth. The big one of Cap and Trade would trade U.S. sovereignty for a new world economy that punishes America while establishing a more central world governing body.

And this, in my own opinion, is where Obama is pushing his zombie cult to support so he can drive America over the edge into ruin. Obama wants to be King of the world. His non-stop campaigning is to try and place himself in the forefront of everything as a contender. For what prize? The only thing left is for Obama to gain even more power than he now has and more power than anyone else has ever had.

Just like Tony Blair has campaigned and wanted for so long to be the president of the EU, Obama has set his sights much higher on a position that does not yet exist. No matter. Obama needs to stay in campaign mode so his foaming-at-the-mouth, zombie like, unthinking, "act on command" cult that praises him for everything and excuses anything will remain in their far-left wing-nut drugged state of 60's like consciousness.

Should Obama win with his desire for Cap and Trade and the GW lies to become law, just watch how Obama will move into hyper campaign mode to convince people everywhere that the world is in deep trouble and only he can save it. That message of fear mongering worked for him to convince enough lemmings to vote for him last November. Obama will try it again so he can be the president of any NWO and the governing body that comes with it.

Just remember, if you so much as oppose Obama for any reason, you're a racist.
