He's the perfect example of the Peter Principle.
Are you talking about Trump?

You know the man who never served in the military (draft dodger) or Government?

You gotta be kidding. Anyone who opposed Obama for any reason was accused of being a racist. The race card was so worn out it is almost no longer effective.

Can you name any company Obama ran or was even a high level Executive prior to his Presidency? He was barely a Junior Senator who sometimes showed up to vote. Obama had zero real world working experience.

You may not like Trump, he may be crass but his Experience is extensive. The man knows how the world works and what motivates other people, good or bad.

Obama was not a very good president. Weak, indecisive, anti-growth. We never fully recovered from the crash until Trump took office, 1-2% growth is beyond sluggish coming out of a recession. You can tell he didn't really believe in American exceptionalism.

You seem to forget that America is not a corporation either.

As for Trump's Experience ....you mean 4 corporate bankruptcies?

He was visibly really angry talking about Obama (it was actually a little scary how angry he was getting talking about Obama). I'm sure there are a lot of others who felt the same way. This was around election time, so you know how motivated that group was to vote.

A lot of that is BS on your colleagues part.

Obama didn't have the courage to come out in favor of gay marriage until the majority of the country and Biden supported it. Obama didn't do much of anything on that issue, except perhaps within the black community where anti-gay feelings were the strongest.

He did say. He wasn't honest about it.

Even going through Bankruptcies out of the many hundreds of successes are learning experiences. If Obama had 100 successful companies and 10 bankruptcies he would have been a much better President.

Obama might have actually understood the insult when he said "You didn't build that".

I'd rather have a man with 4 Bankruptcy experience than a man who's never run a koolaid stand.

Didn't pay his bills then and isn't paying them now either.
