A recent "Investor's Business Daily"
article provided very interesting

Nations International Health
Organization.

I don't know about you, but I don't
want "Universal Healthcare" comparable
to England or Canada .
VERY INTERESTING! 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.
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! Thats 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.
MAY GOD HELP US!
