I tweeted about this one over the weekend .. but it is worth posting here. Barack Obama himself lacks any real private sector experience. We already knew that one. In fact, if you read Obama's books you will find that he referred to his brief stint working in the private sector as "working behind enemy lines." Isn't that just so special? The sector of our country where people work together in voluntary collusion Obama calls "the enemy.' Obama much prefers the sector that works through force and coercion.
Well, that's Obama; but what about his key advisors? What about his cabinet? Just take a look at this graph. Here you will see the private sector experience of key cabinet members dating back to Teddy Roosevelt. You will see that the average runs somewhere around 50%. This would mean that from the days of Roosevelt forward key presidential cabinet members had spent about 50% of their working lives in the private sector. But ... take a look at Obama's cabinet. The figure is about 8%. It's the lowest of any president.
Here is truly a man who has nothing but complete disdain for the private sector. It is, after all, the "enemy."
Maybe this explains why Obama and his administration seem to believe that government is truly the answer to all of our problems.
