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/non profit institutional 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 AND THE CONTEST IS VERY INTERESTING!
This alone can explain the incompetence of the Obama administration....!!!!!! 8 %
Can you source this? I would love to play trump card with it!
8% private sector? Take away paper routes and you’re probably down to 2%.
Love to see some confirmation.
I found this link.

“8% private sector? Take away paper routes and you’re probably down to 2%.”
and crack dealing down to “0”.
Can you say “government hacks” and “university leeches”? Wonder who the 8% are that supposedly have business experience?
Ping for reference...if there is a valid source.
Actually it isn’t surprising, no sane business person would come up with half the dangerous policies this bunch have shoved on us.
When Obamacare starts full force in 2011, the proverbial chit is going to hit the fan.
8%, unbelievable.
It’s not a valid source.
Here is the story from the author of the data, including the UNALTERED graph. Notice the similarities?

I think its by design. Obama wants to tear down the Imperialistic USA (his take on the country)and level the playing field with the third world. He has surrounded himself with kindred spirits.
I wouldn’t get to excited about circulating this data. It looks pretty dubious at first glance and the analysis linked to the blog post takes it apart pretty well.
Besides, if you want to know if the Dude-in-Chief is really a socialist, all you have to do is listen to him on a daily basis.
OK, so then the #’s were exaggerated...not good. However 0bama still holds the title.
Nice numbers. I would pass this around but it’s unsourced ...
The ones who got real rich from working with fannie mae and Freddie mac. You know, spend 6-8 months in the trenches and leave with a 10,000,000 bail out.
When General McChrystal went to President Obama to turn in his resignation, Barack bitterly said “You’ll probably intend to piss on my grave someday.” The General replied, “No, Sir, once I’m out of this man’s Army, I’m not standing in line for anything ever again!”
