The Next Governator: Why not a CEO?

Zach and Oracle... I TOTALLY agree with you. Having said that, where was this logic in the last presidential election? Mit Romney was very successful in both the public and private sectors? I would have thought that a guy that was a success as Governor of Massachusetts and an incredibly successful buisnessman would be a shoe-in for the presidency when our country faced an economic crisis. Why then, are we dealing with a man that took that crisis and made it worse? A man with no executive experience whatsoever... a man who never ran anything well except for a campaign? The question has been on my mind for a long time. I'm glad that this line of thinking is starting to catch on! I could not be sicker of campaign ads that say that people are unqualified for public office because they don't have political experience when we have people that have no actual LEADERSHIP experience running the damn country! I think a big part of the problem is that we have more people receiving government aid than we have EVER had... these people don't want to vote someone in that might take a hard look at all of the free money we're giving out in order to balance the budget... they will continue to live under the soft tyranny that our politicians have set up for them in order to get reelected.
