When the fact of the matter is that he's nothing but a legacy trustafarian who could always go to daddy to bail him out of his fiascos, get the SEC off his case for dumping his stock in Arbusto before it went belly up and then get daddy's buddies to prop him up again and again. This is a guy who couldn't find oil IN TEXAS!!!

Yea, Obama wasn't a businessman, he's an attorney. Duh. Obama worked his way up, Wonderboy had it handed to him on a silver platter.

I'm sorry, what are you crying about? I understand why so many people voted for barry the bumper sticker boy. they were brainwashed by the media that he wasn't a politician and that this election was historic and important for some reason. this country is so full of narcissism it's sickening.

No one said he ran a business.

Running a successful business is admirable, but not everyone's cup of tea. Contrary to the opinion of some, everyone doesn't worship at the altar of business.

People with wealth such as the Bush family don't even have to know anything about running a business. A family with that wealth needs only to have someone it trusts; people can be paid to run businesses.

I'm not concerned that Obama hasn't run a business. I welcome it.

What business did Bush not run into the ground?
Business and Politics, he failed at both.

Yes, and it was handed to him by his father, who had it handed to him as well. (Where's that estate tax thread?)

Well, the first (s)election was decided by the Supreme Court.
The second, it is frequently debated (and there's a lot of data supporting) that Diebold made the (s)election.

it means that when parents wake up, and see that barry the wonderboy is spending money like ted kennedy drinks wine and murders women, it makes them sick.
