From the Glenn Beck Show - The Firearms Forum

dons2346 · 12-27-2009, 09:28 PM

Did you happen to catch a recent Glenn Beck show? He had a graph up that showed past presidents and the percentage of each president's cabinet appointees who had previously worked in the private sector. You know a real life business, not a government job? Remember what that is? A private business???

Roosevelt - 38%
Taft - 40%
Wilson - 52%
Harding - 49%
Coolidge - 48%
Hoover - 42%
FDR - 50%
Truman - 50%
Eisenhower - 57%
Kennedy - 30%
LBJ - 47%
Nixon - 53%
Ford - 42%
Carter - 32%
Reagan - 56%
GHWB - 51%
Clinton - 39%
GWB - 55%

And the Winner is.......... ......... ......

Obama - 8%

YEP, EIGHT PERCENT!!!!! !!!!!!! And these are the guys holding a "job summit" this week? This ought to go really well!!!! I'm gonna go out on a limb here, I know, but I'm gonna go ahead and predict....we are toast.

Obama's appointees have been activists for the most part, and in no way hold the qualifications for the posts that most of them serve, including (and especially) Timothy Geithner. These morons were appointed to advance a socialist agenda and collapse our economy... Nothing more...

This administration needs to bring those with ABSOLUTELY no economic intelligence under the wing of the federal government in order to garner votes in 2010 and 2012. Those with any whit about themselves realize this and staunchly object to the economic decisions made counter to those taught in even the most elementary micro and macro economics courses of high school. It's embarrassing how quickly our country has been marauded by the savior preaching peace and equality while he lays a trail of doom to those who support him. So says the simple-minded ponycar...

Well dang pony, you didn't leave nothing for me to say.

You pretty much told the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

DING!DING!DING! We have a winner right here. You covered all of it much better than I could.

Too SAD..

What all those guys said.

graehaven · 01-02-2010, 09:12 AM

No one should be all that surprised.

When a Muslim-Marxist says he's going to fundamentally transform America, this is how you do it. Destroy it first, then, under Martial Law and countless Executive Orders, you eliminate all who stand in your way and remake it the way you want. It's all on paper folks, just google it.

Yet these same clowns from the BHO administration think they are smarter and better at running things than ANYBODY else in history. They couldn't run a hot-dog cart successively.
No wonder the USof A is fallling off a cliff....

I'll disagree... They don't believe that they're better at running private industry or the economy as a whole better than anyone. They want to destroy the economy. These treasonous fiends need to be tried for what they really are...

The Horror!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Obama has a bunch of idiots working under him. Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder... the whole lot of them are idiots. I think Eric Holder is a racist. They're all anti-gunners. I don't get it. Do they just get off on pissing everyone off or what? That's like that Satomayor lady he appointed to the Supreme Court. I think she is a racist too. Man, GWB wasn't my favorite guy, but I sure miss him.

Jeez guys......I actually had a post done and thought.....why? So I erased it. I would recommend steering clear of Glenn Beck. He is frought with doom and gloom.....it will equal a really good ulcer given enough time

ampaterry · 01-03-2010, 04:58 PM

Jeesh, FPharmrjohn -

If the smoke alarm sound is irritating to our peace and serenity, do we take the battery out of it to reduce our stress?

I think there is much here that we need to know, no matter how disturbing, so we can make better choices in future elections -

Steer clear of the TRUTH???

The truth is sometimes full of doom and gloomy, but, at least you're not being lied to.

Why would you want to do that? If you're still paying attention to conventional media, you're getting a snow job.
