This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration; only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right! Only 8% ¯ the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government, and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line.

No surprise,Obama wants to bring this country down not make it better.
Radicals. Obama and posse.
Marxism is as Marxism does.
This country has definately turned SOCIALIST!
Every facet is now socialized and you are seeing the end results. It is going to get worse.
obamacare will be the early death of all of us.
No body that voted for Obama cares !
The only thing obamacare has accomplished, is taking more money out of people's pockets, and inflating the bank accounts of the government and insurance companies. It has not helped anybody improve their health. With the increased rates to pay for health insurance, you are almost better to drop it, and get fined at the end of the year. Problem there, if you really do get sick, most doctors don't see patients without insurance, so in turn, you end up at the ER and get a couple thousand dollars worth of bills. Lose lose situation.
