In this time and age, it would be wise to stay away from CEO's as government leaders...

...in my humble opinion.

Look what we got with George W Bush, the first MBA to hold the office.

CEO's and businesses have too much power in our politics and in our government already. We should be wary of any "successful businessman" running for high office.

We need oversight of CEO's - we don't need more of them over-seeing the government.

We should have heeded the words of Jesse Jackson when he said, "Stay outta the Bushes!"

I know one thing, it would be very wise to stay away from community agitators as leaders.

1. You can't generalize based on one president

We need leaders with strong executive skills who are experienced and knowledgeable about the business world. We need them to use their knowledge and skills to get a better deal for American businesses in the world market and make the country more competitive. The leadership we've had over the past 20 years gave away the store and American workers are suffering because of it.

3. I disagree..

I am generalizing on business in general, from Wall Street to big bankers to hedge fund managers to wealth robbers that enrich themselves at the expense of others. I don't see business leaders in a positive light, I would agree with that observation.

0bama has done nothing but enrich himself at the expense of others, yet you worship him.

10. In my opinion...

This should be the Democrats response to the "cool" ad by the Repubs.

Is this the right time to put a CEO in charge of our government? Business does not have a good track record for the last few years. Their decisions have made America a poorer country while they have enriched themselves in the process.

Instead, we have to watch these stupid ads about the "celebrity President" that is too "cool" to be the leader of the free world...

Might not want to bring up track records people might just look at 0bama's then.

12. With all due respect,...

...I don't think President Obama's track record is that good either. It might be best not to go there.

13. Compared to who?

Bush or Romney?

I have criticized this President on several occasions but not for what he has done but for what he did not do.

I think we should "go there". What do you see as Obama's track record?

Well we still had a trippple A credit rating under Bush.

I dare say there is no better time than now to have A President with an extensive background in business.

So Kentuck would prefer someone who has no ability to do anything successful.

That explains his devotion to Obama.

 :lmao: I bet he gets banned.

I agree with the one who said that you can't base it all on one. Just like you can't base every black man being a terrible President because of Obama.

Longest uninterrupted (54 months) of job growth in the US history. A single year of 160 billion dollars versus a single month of February 2012 of 240 billion dollars.

We have to stop that from happening and Obama, the dog eater, is doing that. Obama has brought about, record drop in household wealth (that's OK because only YT is hurt). Record youth unemployment. Record food stamp usage. Biggest climb in welfare since records were kept. To think they wonder why we call them DUmb and that they are at the bottom rung of society.

They may dye their hair the color of democracy, but we can still see their communist roots.
