Doin’ What Comes Naturally!

By: Bill S (Diary)  |  November 26th, 2009 at 11:12 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

(Apologies to Irving Berlin)… We knew that Barack Obama was turning DC into a mecca for sucking at the public teat, but it perhaps was not as obvious until recently as to what extent this is occurring.  RedState member Fred Maidment sent this blog entry from The American to me this morning. It illustrates the depth to which Obama is influenced on “governmentalization” of the private sector.  The graphic tells it all:

Unsurprisingly, the low points come during the Democrat(ic) Kennedy, Carter, Clinton and Obama administrations. But the dearth of private sector experience in the Obama cabinet is almost breathtaking. As Nick Schulz notes, “over 90 percent of its prior experience was in the public sector”. Wow.

It shouldn’t be a “wow” moment, though. The Obama administration is promoting exactly what we have suspected it would – elimination of private sector industry in favor of government control. From banking to automotive to health care to “net neutrality” – the government takeover is already well under way. And we shouldn’t be surprised – they’re just doin’ what comes naturally.

    and it shows too much. Those that have only been in the Public sector,color their view when it comes to the way things run. Obama admin Private sector experience is lower than any other Progressive Admin.

    ps You need to correct “dearth of public sector”, I know you mean “private”

  • bs

    Corrected.

    And you’re right … there’s a variety of cause/effect relationships at play.

    From the same folks that brought you the recovery.org website.

    It was healthreform.org or something very similar.

    that answer to no one but the leader of the Marxist movement. They couldn’t get anywhere if they didn’t select and choose only those that are a part of their movement.

    Exactly what I expected from the administration with the manufacturing czar (Ron Bloom) who said, “the free market is nonsense”.

    I wish someone would ask Barry if he thinks the government or the private sector is the source of job growth in America. It’s too bad there are no journalists in the white house press corps to ask that question.

    From what point in the prior administrations was the data taken? Were they all surveyed at 10 months? More likely that the data was taken at the end of each administration. As you know many cabinet staff positions are unfilled at this point, so therefore the comparison is worthless at best,

  • janis

    We’re so lucky.

  • red_refugee

    Read the link (http://blog.american.com/?p=7572) which says that this counts all cabinet secretaries. Your speculation that it includes unfilled cabinet staff positions is incorrect and makes no sense since an unfilled position wouldn’t have private or public sector experience.

    I read that right after I said out loud “WOW” …. I guess I’m naive and predictable.

    Well, the way a lot of businesses (aka private sector) are running these days they aren’t exactly the model. We used to say that government should be run more like a business but, unfortunately, many businesses are run like government. Anybody work for a large corporation lately? Political, beauracratic and wasteful.

  • stevemoschetta

    No, it is me that is the lucky one.
