* John McCain, career government employee;
* George W. Bush, who succeeded at the seemingly-impossible task of being incredibly connected yet still losing money on oil companies in Texas;
* Bob Dole, career government employee;
* George H.W. Bush, who made millions following his rich dad's footprints in the Texas oil industry;
* Ronald Reagan, who ran a union and pretended to be imaginary people in films and TV shows;
* Gerald Ford, career government employee;
* Richard Nixon, career government employee;
* Barry Goldwater, who made millions waiting for the Dad he hated to die so he could inherit the family department stores;
* Dwight Eisenhower, career government employee.

So outrageous that President Obama doesn't have a similarly-illustrious business background. I mean, look at all those self-made champions of industry!

It's like every other criticism of this President. Imagined problems they pretend to care about, and that they always overlook in their own candidates.
Obama has not paid a single pay check, yet Mitt has paid hundreds of thousands.

Some interesting examples by chilly.

I am sure the 100,000 employees of Staples and Sports authority appreciate the investment of Bain Capital in their companies.

Dwight Eisenhower led the largest naval invasion in history and was the commander of the armies that defeated Germany in Europe.

The others on your list were several term governors and long time members of Congress. Obama 's experience consisted of less than 3 years in the Senate, where he spent most of the time running for president.

We are seeing the results of that inexperience.

You bethca !

- An end to the greatest recession since 1932.
- more than a double in the S&P 500
- 53 straight months of positive job growth in the private sector
- 9 million jobs during that span
- deficit cut in half

Our economy, fiscal measurements and stock portfolios seem to do much better under the management of a community organizer.
I'm glad he took the path he did instead of shutting down all the banks, auto manufacturing, and downline companies like Hoops prescribed in 2009.

Lets Review

An end to the greatest recession since 1932.
- more than a double in the S&P 500 - THIS IS A FUNCTION OF LOW INTEREST RATES FROM THE FED. EVERY TIME THEY INDICATE HIGHER RATES THE MARKET GOES DOWN

- 53 straight months of positive job growth in the private sector - IT TOOK ALMOST 6 YEARS FOR THE COUNTRY TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE EMPLOYED THAN WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE

- 9 million jobs during that span - MOSTLY PART TIME JOBS. REMEMBER "UNEMPLOYMENT WILL NOT GO OVER 8%"; INSTEAD WE HAD THE LONGEST PERIOD OF HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT SINCE THE DEPRESSION. THE U6 RATE IS STILL OVER 12% & THE ADULT PARTICIPATION RATE IS AT LEVELS NOT SEEN IN YEARS

- deficit cut in half - AFTER INCREASING THE DEFICIT TO RECORD HIGHS HE BRAGS ABOUT LOWERING IT. THE LONG TERM TREND FOR THE DEFICIT IS TO GO BACK TO 1 TRILLION.

We still have the most people on food stamps and the most people living below poverty in history. One more time; due to demand auto manufacturing was not going to go away. GM & Chrysler would have been bought up. They probably would not exist in today's form, but there would have been auto manufacturing in the US.
Let's look at how many hours American's are working per week.

Regarding the stock market, the Fed can not print money forever. When they stop, the market will plummet. Of course Obama will make certain that happens after he leaves office, because that's the kind of snake that he is.

Spin all you like, but Obama rode shotgun over the massive deficit increase some 6 years ago. Obama could have stopped this spending, and for that reason it must be blamed on our President.

Inflation adjusted deficits.

2008 $504.95 Billion Deficit

2009 $1559.6 Billion Deficit

2010 $1404.99 Billion Deficit

2011 $1367.37 Billion Deficit

2012 $1134.02 Billion Deficit

2013 $691.06 Billion Deficit

Spending money that we don't have will stimulate jobs in the short run, but it costs jobs in the future as this debt must be paid back. Obama has sold our children's future.

So, we have more jobs yet less hours being worked. What does that tell you?

You support impoverished wages for workers and then complain about those employed people needing food stamps. It's positions like that differentiate you from serious people trying to solve problems...like our community organizer president.

In 2009 you wanted to address the jobs problem by unemploying another 6 million Americans. The president disagreed with you then too. America is better off for it...and so is Hoops's stock portfolio
I don't support any particular wage, and because of this I believe that the government should also not support any particular wage. They should allow "the market" to set the number, and unions should be outlawed.

When it comes to the short run health of the economy, the President and Congress are mostly at the mercy of the Business Cycle. In my humble opinion, the Federal Reserve had much more blame in causing the recession and in the abnormally slow recovery than is generally accepted.
Unions can serve a purpose but when they decide that maintaining the job count and in turn keeping the money flowing to them is more important than keeping the business successful us when they run into trouble.
