Thread: How Many Obama Cabinet Appointments Have Private Sector Experience?

I'll pass on the crazy fearcast, thanks anyway.

His numbers are off FYI, go do your own research. A quick fact check on Wikipedia of around 10 of the cabinet level appointees already shows Beck's assertions to be crazy as usual.

First, how do you discount academia? Especially those who were professors and teachers and not just plunked into university president/dean positions. Take Sec of Transportation Ray LaHood (Repub from IL). He was a grocery bagger then a high school teacher.

Second, (more importantly IMHO) why do I want MY government run like a business? A US owned business's top priority is NOT to create jobs. Its to maximize shareholder wealth...I'll pass on having a bunch of business men calling the shots on what the USG should be doing...oh wait, they already do. Guess it doesn't matter....I watch Fox (Brett Baier...still a fan of Brit Hume when he occasionally is on) but Glenn Beck is just like a Keith Oberlman...just opposite end of the garbage dump.
