Hey for those worried he has no "real" experience..at least we'll see if his theories pan out.
They can't be any worse than what we have today.

We got Bernanke testing out his thesis with the printing press. We aren't in bread lines yet are we ?

This crap about electing people who have "created a job" is an overrated bunch of nonsense. Don't know where it started, but i sure wish like hell it would end. It's dumb, and trite as all hell.

When was the last time you right wingers elected a president that created jobs before being inaugerated? And Dubya owning a baseball team doesn't count.

Repub presidents have been nothing but career politicians for the most part. So GTFOH with all this "create a job" garbage.

What is the percentage of obama's "team"/cabinet that has real world business experience? Something like 8%?

Don't have to go any further than that to understand he and the people he surrounds himself with are clueless.

I think all of the economic advisers the country has had since the 80s (and I'm sure even further back than that) have gone to an Ivy or Ivy-equivalent school.

They all have PhDs too if I'm not mistaken.

You remember U of N, don't you? That's the school whose President famously noted that the big red "N" on the football stadium stands for "Knowledge!"

Better yet, let's get somebody from Texas Tech, where former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales teaches Constitutional Law!
Well...how are those economic geniuses from Harvard working out?

Have you ever thought to yourself "man, the economy is doing well"? I'll bet $10 that a highly educated person was chief economic adviser at that time.

I'll offer a counter-bet. The highly educated chief economic advisor had his feet grounded in reality rather than academia at the time.
