GOP talking point of the day

[JamesA1102]

They all seem to be jumping on this talking point that no one in the Obama Administration ever ran a business. But weren't Bush and Cheney both former CEOs and they ran the economy into the ground. I wish someone in the media would point that out.

1. Not Only Point That Out But

Also that EVERY. SINGLE. business that Bush Jr. got his hands on instantly flopped and tanked...without exception.

General rule of thumb....you can't argue with a fool.

8. It Works For Me

Running a business into the ground isn't the same as RUNNING a business.

3. 50% of businesses fail in the first year. 90% in the first 5 years.

Is that the model we must follow?

BTW, looks like Beck was the start of this lie.

5. when they repeat this now

it reinforces the broader version of of the one they've been using for years on 1000 radio stations about just about anyone in the dem party, hell, even if they were successful in business.

6. Bush ran every business he ever headed into bankruptcy ...

how did that make him qualified to be President?

and he ran the U.S. into bankruptcy, too ...

7. Government is not a business

Business is to make a Profit, government is to serve the people. There is a Huge difference that conservative just can't seem to grasp..

9. Running the government and running a business are very different things
