Why we should just say, "No".

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting
statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health
Organization.

Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment
within six months:
U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%


Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who
had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment
to the cabinet.

T. Roosevelt........ 38%
Taft................... 40%
Wilson ................. 52%
Harding...............49%
Coolidge.............. 48%
Hoover................. 42%
F. Roosevelt......... 50%
Truman................. 50%
Eisenhower.......... 57%
Kennedy.............. 30%
Johnson................ 47%
Nixon................... 53%
Ford..................... 42%
Carter.................. 32%
Reagan................. 56%
GH Bush.............. 51%
Clinton ................. 39%
GW Bush............ 55%

And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is..............Obama................8%!!!

Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent! The least by far of the last 19
presidents!!

And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run
their business? They know what's best for GM...Chrysler...Wall
Street... and you and me?

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 neither have 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"...When they should
have been in an employment line.
