Obama Shapes an Agenda Beyond Iraq War

Submitted by R. Levy, Dec 26, 2006 20:59

Does no one see the danger in considering for the position of President of the United States someone who has no significant experience at anything outside of the public sector? A President, above all else, is an executive - a chief executive - in charge of running an incredibly huge department of our government. Take a car salesman and put him in charge of General Motors - then multiply the ramifcations by about a million. That's what we're talking about. He might be a great car salesman, but that's no evidence that he can run anything.

No one seems to see this, or be willing to say it. The emperor indeed has no clothes.
