(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.

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.
Question:
stevemoschetta Sunday, November 29th at 10:09PM EST (link)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,

unfilled cabinet staff positions
red_refugee Sunday, November 29th at 11:12PM EST (link)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.

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.
