Obama: King of All Statists
by Warner Todd HustonAlmost 40% of William Howard Taft’s cabinet officials were from the private sector. Ike had nearly 60% of his appointees sporting private sector experience. Reagan had about 55% and George W. Bush about 53%. Even FDR and Truman saw half their cabinet officials coming to government with private sector experience.
And Obama?
Less than 10%.
That means that only about 7% of Barack Obama’s cabinet appointees ever worked in the private sector. So is it any wonder that Obama has become the president responsible for an unprecedented bloating of the federal government and a take over of power on a scale never before seen?
Nick Schulz published a great graph revealing the private sector experience of the appointees of every president since 1901.
Remembering that Barack Obama himself never held a real job his whole life the fact that he surrounds himself with government hacks, placemen, and hangerson, yet is expected to be The One to fix the economy and, well, we can see why he is failing so miserably. He has no life experiences to draw on and neither does anyone he’s asked to advise him on the matter.

The private sector failed America in 2008. Did you guys already forget the time, when Dow Jones was at 6000? How much money did you lose (my 401k lost almost 50%)?
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by DRIP USA, AZ grassroots. AZ grassroots said: Obama: King of All Statists http://bit.ly/6FMDEg #dripusa #ocra #tcot [...]
O"Dunno really? he would do that? God Bless America
2008 … hard to remember, but wasn't that a year when Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate? I agree … pretty bad year due to over-regulation of the financial sector by Bawney and his ilk. Good point twines.
twinespc: Are you kidding? The private sector has had its hand tied for years now. Lets just let the government come in and take over and everything will be all right. Yeah! Come on! Wake up! The dow jones started at less than 100, if your counting on your 401k being worth anything than maybe you should start voting money printers out of office.
Where is your 401k now?
If you're only definition of the private sector is the Dow Jones Industrial Average price index of the NYSE, then you are clearly lacking in private sector knowledge as well…
The private sector did not fail. The banking sector failed due to governmental intrusion, over regulation, market distortion and a loose money policy. The private sector, those people out there starting businesses, creating and inventing innovative products, employing workers, serving the public and bettering our lives in exchange for profit and continuing in their work, despite being vilified and attacked by the governmental powers wielded by Pelosi, Obama and Reid.
Husseins Track Record? What Track Record?
Back where it was in summer 2007 (YTD + 40%)
Here is a clue for some of the ones who are slamming the point of the private sector. People from the private sector are people that are a lot closer to reality & what is going on than professional politicians & life long academicians. The later two have spent most of their lives living in an Ivory tower full of unicorns & magic fairies, yet they are still miserable. They are extremely narcissistic & completely bloated with self worth. If you don't believe me, just sit in on a couple of college lectures, especially if the professor is text books the he/she "wrote". The private sector people have actually had to do some work to get to where they are.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those can't do either, run for office.
The one that really gets me going is our new Manufacturing Czar. This guy wouldn't last five minutes in any machine shop I've ever worked in. I'm willing to bet that he couldn't sharpen a drill, run a lathe, draw a print, or inspect a part. He'd be like the owners' nephew: taking up everybody's time just to explain what he doesn't know and draining money that could be put in the pockets of those who actually make the company money.
But he's in charge of setting manufacturing policy.
Obama must go…we need to push him out, he is the biggest single threat to America, ever! Might as well be fighting terrorism in Washington!
It does not matter that his cabinet is not from the private sector. He never meets with them anyway. The One knows all, he needs no advisers, he is the One after all.
right so lets all depend on social security where your payout is always less then what you put in, and better yet lets fund it with iou's & money that doesn't exist, this way we inflate the currency & destroy the prosperity of subsequent generations, condemning them to $40 loaves of bread, all because you lost some money in stock market downturn. How progressive.
That was government over-regulation that caused that bust. Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources for which there are other uses.
A bubble in the economy is the result of the miss allocation of scarce resources from more efficient uses to less efficient uses. And a recession and depression are the re-allocation of scarce resources from less efficient uses to more efficient uses. The amount of money miss allocated was so huge, the private sector could never pull it off. Only a huge heavy handed government can pull a miss allocation on that scale.
Let me ask you – what is the goal of any private sector business? Simple, succeed. And you don't do that by making bone headed loans that you know won't be paid back. So why essentially force themselves into bankruptcy? What did they fear even more than going broke, and being financially ruined?
Government.
Full discolsure: I am an academic.
Academics have contributed positively to American society. They have also caused great harm. The same can be true for individuals who work in the private sector (Compare Warren Buffet to Bernie Madoff?).
The big difference between academia and the private sector is the definition of success. In the private sector, you must be profitable to be successful. In academia, you must create/discover new knowledge/ideas to be considered successful. Many of the ideas from academia (sciences, business, engineering, etc) allow the private sector to become more successful. Other ideas have caused significant harm (eugenics, global warming?).
The problem occurs when academics don't recognize the limits of their expertise.
I can't do any of those things either, but I do know how to config a firewall.
This is like saying that it is ok for a bunch of government know nothings to make health care decisions about things like when women should get breast exams. Oh wait that stupid crap is happening too.
Har! Fool. The private sector did not fail you. It was democratic policy that failed the private sector. They gained control of the nation's purse in 2006, and promptly emptied it.
I wished this was out before the election. Now it proof Palin did have more real world private sector experience than Obama.
backwards boy specifically said manufacturing czar… and that would be ron bloom.
and backwards boy makes a great point- how can you put someone in charge of rebuilding our manufacturing in this country, when the guy agrees with Mao (you know, the communist who killed 60 + million people). We are a capitalist nation, and putting someone who likes Mao, in charge of manufacturing isn't going to fix anything.
This is hilarious. Do graphs for the number of lobbyists and czars, too!
he voted present…is that a track record??
That same exact graph was on Glenn Beck's show yesterday…I doubt any other news channel or site has the balls to bring this to "national attention"….nbc, abc, cbs….heaven-forbid MSNBC (Keith Olbermann is a grade A douchebag)
I'll admit, my point was not prolific enough in its meaning, and I apologize for that. I agree that academics has, does & will play a very important role. My point is that Life Long academicians (mainly college professors) that have spent their whole life bouncing from one college town to another often have never seen the farmers in the fields struggling to get their crops & live stock in under increasingly restraining & expensive regulations or the business owners trying desperately to try to keep their businesses going, to keep people employed and produce a quality products under, again, ever increasing restraints & regulations put on them by the government and the unions, these are the people that we need right now to help rebuild our economy. Right now I would take the owner of Mikes Express Car Wash who has been successful over a PhD Economic Theorist.
One thing that ppl don't understand while bashing the private sector is the private sector plays the cards that are dealt to them. If there is more regulation, the companies will find ways around the regulations or will play ball (i.e. pass increased costs/taxes to the ultimate consumer or they'll make loans to ppl they otherwise wouldn't, knowing that politicians will stay off their case). And if there is less regulation, then the companies will take off running and make money hand over fist while creating and making life generally better/easier/cheaper/more efficient (something EVERYONE takes for granted in one way or another).
I just have ONE QUESTION – name something that was created or invented that had absolutely no private sector involvement whatsoever. The only thing (and probably the one thing libs will point to) that I can think of is the interstate highway system, which was more of a military idea to move supplies more efficiently throughout the US, which also helped the private manufacturing sector eventually.
so his cabinet is all clueless academics?…
Didn't need a mathematical process to figure that one out. Just the powers of observation…
Wonder what percetage of Obama's czars are from the private sector?
Would anyone hire any of these jokers to run the store ?
First of all, family members only on the cash register (so now we know why the country is broke).
And new employees start with a broom, and it's not for leaning on.
There's only one boss here, and you're looking at him ! Me.
The customer is always right, even when he's wrong.
Profits pay your salary.
now what other basic rules can we apply to governing the leviathan ?
Uh, all I can say is "wow." This is a very powerful comparison that, frankly, should be headline news. Thanks for the scoop!
What about the run at the banks in under 3 hours mid September '08 to the tune of over $500 billion? That automatically put Obama in the lead forevermore when he'd been losing by 3 points up till then. Was it the Dems' October surprise a month early due to desperation? Gee, who do we know who'd do something like that?
Not sure what you mean by that, was that a slight? Just because you have the blue-collar skills, does not mean you are the beer buddy to the Middle- American.
I would go one step beyond what JWN stated. I don't think they are know-nothings (aka the owners nephew) but they are Know-it-alls that have elaboarte theories but lack of working experience.
I am in the Military, and I work in a highly technical field (think "shooting down errant satellites"). My co-workers and I were discussing the importance of attending engineering conferences, what influence would we have as the operators/maintainers? Our conclusion was that you MUST have real-world experience to support or discount all the theoretical solutions to a problem. The human cost, the ergonomics, the "Lean", the maintenance, the lifecycle, the return on investment, critical (unexpected) failure points, the hidden costs that only arise after long periods of use, all of these aspects of a system that are only understood by the people with hands-on working experience.
It is pointless to develop an engine for a car that is designed to get 100 miles to the gallon on regular pump gas, and with regular maintenance will run reliably for over 300,000 miles if a regular oil-change requires removing the engine from the car and 10 hours of a mechanics labor.
Yes, let's get an out-of-touch, inexperienced, incompetent ideologue who's lazy, arrogant, narcissistic and totally enthralled with the sound of his own voice. That outta do it. Let's also make sure he's unwilling to take responsibility for any decision-making and always has a fall guy. Unless the going is good, of course. Then he'll jump all over it as his idea. Let's also make sure he takes credit for work others have done. Sounds good to me, no? Oh, wait, we already have that.
People in the private sector are forced to succeed. Sometimes they fail, so they try again until they learn how to succeed. There is no one there to supprt them if they fail to succeed. People in the public sector, however, do not have to succeed to continue. They rely on government support, either direct or through manipulation of others, to maintain their existence. Success is not necessary, so they never learn how to acheive it. This is why that statistic is so scary.
Of course, she did. She was a town mayor, governor of a state, on an energy commission and held several other jobs. Bambi was a community organizer/agitator and a part-time lecturer who taught one segment of one class and he had to ask for the job. Other than that, he voted present 150 times. He himself admitted that as soon as he became a U.S. senator, he started running for president.
After Palin gave that wonderful speech, Bambi's handlers decided she was a force to be reckoned with and had to destroy her. You see, she had the job experience Bambi lacked. Even they knew he was all smoke and mirrors.
It *should* be headline news….which is exactly why it WON'T be. The MSM are as complicit in the destruction of this country as are the rotten, Marxist politicians now residing in Washington.
In looking for a silver lining, I do believe with all my heart that this inexperience and refusal to understand or promote the private sector, coupled with the non-reality that these academic elites live in will be their complete undoing. There's only so much the system of producers can take before it buckles and collapses. These morons seem to not care that that is the path their ideology takes.
" wasn't that a year when Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate?"
Depends on your perceptions. For you and me, yes, but liberals appear to be unable to perceive that which objective people call reality.
Why, obviously the track record for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sorros is president with Andy Stearn as VP … come on people wake up!!!
Stearn was "invited" to the state dinner!!!!
proving as we all already understand, obama is an idiot
hey EdB-the interstate highway system was eisenhower's idea. he got the idea from adolph when he saw how fast the allies tanks rolled through germany on the autobahn.
That's an easy one, most communist don't have business experience … because their communists.
Wow, that is pretty sad. I'm 34 and have worked in the private sector for 12 years. On top of that I've spent the last 8 years serving my Country in the Military. I probably have more real world/military experience than 95% of his Cabinet. I'm just not Ivy League enough to cut it….
[...] Obama: King of All Statists from Big Government by Warner Todd Huston [...]
this is by design- not accident. This lot hates those who produce and make profits. They will only break bread with those who swear fealty to their cause (GE, NBC, etc) and will see everyone else either taken over or put out of business. It's who they are…
But don't you see? They have been to prestigious universities. Their professors have given them an A. They read the New York Timesand have good intentions (killing babies, disarming the public, making the world safe for orgies and Marxist dictators). They don't NEED experience because they're SO MUCH SMARTER than you are. Prosperity is just around the corner.

Agree with one caveat. These guys aren't clueless. They are relentless and focused ideologues. They will break the government and install totalitarianism to a degree we can only have nightmares about when the emergency is declared.
Here is another example of Warner Todd Huston's inept status as author, commetator. Not possessing enough competence to come up with any meaningful contribution on is own, he posts another writer's work, parrots the author, and puts his name at the top, claiming it his. Hilarious!
Reminds me of his other recent work, 'Best Buy Ditching Cristmas' where he frames Best Buy (and incites a boycott) for something Best Buy did (and stopped doing) threes years ago. What a Freaken HACK!! And no, I have no relation to Best Buy other than being a angry Patriot, nearly misled to boycott, but very disappointed that Big Gov't will not hold your authors to the same standards you beat up on others for.
I thought you valued facts and accuracy? What about honesty?! Losing faith here fast– Not much interested in Warner as a source, and now beginning to question Big Gov't actual's relaibilty.
Actually, McCain/Palin was ahead by SIX POINTS, but lets not quibble.
It WAS out there, but far too few people paid any heed to that knowledge.
My guesstimate is none.
Someone elsewhere commented – in reference to the number of non-private sector tools in Obama’s toolbox: If all you have is a hammer, than every problem is a nail.
I prefer my twist on that old saying:
IF YOUR TOOLBOX IS ONLY FULL OF SCREWDRIVERS, THAN ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE EASILY NAILED GET A VERY BAD SCREWING INSTEAD.

I work for the government. You will not find many supervisors that are willing to hire someone smarter than they are. Most in service couldn't get a job in the private sector if their lives depended on it. In government though, you only have to perform at a level slightly more than what it takes to get fired.

one can be a relentless ideologue and clueless as well; they are not mutually exclusive of each other. Not having ANY practicable life experience other than Marxist studies courses can make for a very dangerous type of 'clueless' behaviour.
Make sense?
Obama has said plain as day he believes "government is the answer". He believes in "spreading the wealth around". He has no need for the private sector! Everything he does is designed to grow government, not the private sector. He is simply acting as the anti-capitalist (which is so "status quo") that he is. And he believes he has the mandate to do so.
You raise a good point in that academics are often not the targets of regulations that academics advocate. Besides, when the government creates regulation that affect colleges and universities, the cost is simply passed on in the form of tuition and/or more tax dollars spent on educational institutions.
Now there are exceptions. I and a good friend of mine (also a Ph. D.) grew up on farms, worked in fast food as teenagers, etc.
In the sciences, we see the effect of government regulations, generally regarding safety in laboratories. One of the major problems with government regulations is that government officials frequently are not knowledgeable enough to write regulations without constantly violating the law of unattended consequences.
A recent article in "Chemical Engineering and News" (pg 22, Nov. 23, 2009 issue) reports a statement made by Henry Waxman's chief adviser as "Guys, we didn't even know you existed" in reference to American manufacturers affected by renewable biomass legislation (S. 1733). This legislation forced American manufacturers to lobby the federal government because their legislation made it more cost effective to burn American biomass instead of using it to synthesize valuable chemicals. If the legislation had not been changed, in response to corparate lobbying, then an American manufacturer would have gone out of business and forced their American client to import the specialty chemicals from overseas. The money spent on lobbying does not create wealth and favors the establishment of corruption.
Not too likely that any one of them could have managed a newspaper route.
I wasn't laughing when I watched Dean. Too many people take him seriously and think he's got the answers. That was one scary video. It should be all over the news, but well, you know the media doesn't see anything wrong or alarming about it.
Obama's track record speaks for itself.
And I'll be waiting for my social security, Medicare.Obamacare.
Because I Know they wont fail me.
Oboma. The first special interest President.
Good work, WTH. The stats speak for themselves.
politicans aren't idiots, but many are power seekers, most especially the longtimers-get rid of any politician bought and paid for by special interest groups, er, from private industry
The Private sector failed us because they knew they could! Under Ronald Reagan a collapse was stopped (never got this much publicity) because the government would never allow the top 11 banks to fail!!!!! We went through it with the Savings and Loan debacle! If the government would STAY OUT of the private sector and allow the chips to fall where they will the private greedy sector (lol) wouldn't be willing to risk as much!!! These greedy tyrants know that the gov't won't allow the chaos of these large banks failing so they keep risking it ALL!!!

That's what's so wrong with Middle Americans- they want their beer buddy to be President (or vice versa).
JWN … "In academia, you must create/discover new knowledge/ideas to be considered successful. "
Not to paint too broad a stroke, but all too often, academic "success" is measured in the grants brought in to the institution and not on the success (or even appropriateness or usefulness) of the research.
Just ask Phil Jones or Michael Mann.
What is the Obama administration doing with real unemployement at 17.5% (Black males 34%), inflation (increased money supply from gov. debt) just around the corner, and banks not lending to small businesses because of toxic assets (much of it politically forced home loans) still on their books? Why their recipe is to add taxes in the guise of Cap and Trade and Healthcare Reform. Somehow the above stats don't surprise me.
sorry, but we don't have a real free market here. what we have now is a strange perverted mixture of public and private money… an economy where politicians and regulators pick and choose winners, based on political favors and campaign contributions, amongst other back room, corrupt deals. The market doesn't pick and choose winners based on what goods are desired… politicians now pick the winners and losers, and that's where the problem lies. The Fed is also a huge part of it.
Private sector vs. public jobs…. capitalism vs. socialism
history speaks for itself.
Wrong or alarming? In general, they eat it up. So why be alarmed? Dean was smart enough to be a Doc, but they don't teach much history in med school.
Bambi's chief economic advisor, Larry Summers (who lost almost $2 billion of Harvard's endowment in a risky investment when he was in charge), has NEVER worked in the private sector.
I agree whole heartily with the Bio Mass. It effected our family farms because most of the family's dairies use the waste from the cows to power generators, though it is methane power, the source for the methane is cattle & some how falls under this. This has created other problems, law suits from the power companies because the way we are set up, the farms are not on the power companies grids. We have triple redundancies systems set up so if we lose our main flow, we go to a true bio mass set up that runs off of failed crops, the third is stationary & portable heavy generators that either are self diesel/burn-all powered &/or PTO driven from tractors. This system allows us to stay off the grid. It was not done originally for the purpose of dodging the power companies, it was because most of the farms were established before electricity & never were wired to the grid.
History would not have done him any good, his ideology would have twisted whatever he heard, and he would have learned it in a liberal school anyway. The ones that scare me the most are the *smart* ultra lefties.
That being said, Dean's infamous "I Have a Scream" speech was a riot!
THE HOUSE OF CARDS, Obamas' home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW RIDICULOUS MUST IT GET, BEFORE EVEN THE MOST INDOCTRINATED WAKE UP?????!!!!!!!!
This supports the impression that in his mind he's playing with monopoly money. No clue as to the work that money represents.
Well, stop bitching…40% is a great increase. Don't count on keeping it though. Obama will find a way to destroy it again…sooooooon!
In the sciences, funding usually requires success in publishing. If peer review works properly, published articles were judged by peers to represent an advance, contain quality data, and the analysis is not flawed. Judging the quality of data and its analysis is the primary job of reviewers. The system works when grant dollars end up in the hands of scientists who conduct good experimentation that ends up in the primary literature. Many of these scientific findings/advances are used by American industry to create new products, jobs, and ultimately wealth.
Problems occur when the scientists that review grant applications and manuscripts reward supporters of their theory at the expense of competing theories. Science is advanced by finding better, more complete, explanations for all of the data. As a scientist, the apparent behavior of Phil Jones and Michael Mann is concerning. Ethical lapses by scientists puts the system of science funding by the American taxpayer at risk.

Obama is naive and have weak leadership skills.
and how much has it gained since then? 67% is pretty nice for just over a year.
This week a senior respected Israeli analyst asked me to look back and decide, "Are we seeing the worst crisis in US-Israel relations? Is this the worst ever administration from Israel's perspective?" Also this week an Israeli minister termed President Obama's administration "awful," and an Israeli political activist was quoted in Israel's largest circulation paper as saying, "The Obama regime is anti-Jewish and anti-Semitic."
US President Barack Obama.
Photo: AP
To all, I respond with the strongest possible retorts: balderdash, tripe, silliness and stupidity! There are other serious ideological problems with this US administration which results in rock-bottom popularity for the US president in Israel but the labels of "anti-Semitic" or "the worst" are just bum raps.
Just look at the history.
IN 1957, the Eisenhower administration threatened to come down hard on the fledgling Israel, including removing UJA's tax-exempt status, as a way of pressuring Israel to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula.
That was going to be MY point, darn it. But I was going to say, "This report is completely biased and unfair! None of Obama's Czars are taken into account."
The private sector failed due to regulations passed in 1992 ops not suppose to tell the truth not politically correct
The result of our failed congress, started the down turn in 2006 ops Congress caused it but was not smart enough to stop it, OPS Democrat congress politically incorrect again
Why did all the funds go to the Exectutive's with political tyes to the democrat party?
If you where so important to them they would have bailed you out ops the unions, the exective's need it you don't
Transfer of wealth from the working and the retired you to the affluent friends of congress
Find Senators who believe in the U S Constittion and the Bill of Rights vote them in and give the rest an eviction notice
There was never any intention of putting qualified people in this cabinet, just those who want to test a theory that is known to fail time and again. This is all aboput the restructuring of wealth and the establishment of a elite class of rulers, this new class would rule by edict and force and favoritism would run rampant. We will become a bananna republic and the plan is now working toward that means like a runaway steam engine.
No enforcement of law, ignoring of law and destruction of the legal system will end the freedom to elect and the right to speak out or confront your accusers. The politics of destruction are in place and this next election will prove the point, the ballot box will be corrupted beyond anyones imagination and there will be no one to stop it.
"Remembering that Barack Obama himself never held a real job his whole life the fact that he surrounds himself with government hacks, placemen, and hangerson, yet is expected to be The One to fix the economy and, well, we can see why he is failing so miserably."
I wonder what qualifies as a "real job?" So let's see, who do you suggest would be able to fix the mess we're in today in under one year? Find me that person and I'll vote for him/her in a minute. I'll bet you a year's salary that person would be "failing miserably" at the same point in time as Obama.
Nothing. I kept it in. Now my 401K is doing really well.
The private sector didn't fail you. Obama, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Maxine Waters, to name just a few, and their entitlement programs did. And in addition to a failed 401K, you'll be paying taxes out the ying yang for their spending sprees!!!
Keep drinking the kool aid…
It WAS out. Those of us who knew the truth about Obama were trying to get the word out. Either the obamabots didn't want to listen or they were too lazy to find out the truth. The media was complicit in the lies and omissions about Obama.

This is alarming! My question is this: What is wrong with our system that has allowed such incompatence to rule our country? Who determines our potential leaders qualifcations? I have even heard government officials are questioning why President Obama has not produced a real birth certificate, nor college transcripts, nor a lawyer license, etc. HOW CAN THIS BE!!!!! Something is seriously wrong with our political system!
This president is the BIGGEST embarrassment our country has ever experienced! AND the most DANGEROUS!
WE NEED TO LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS PRISIDENT AND IMPEACH HIM!!!!!!!!!
How can we push him out?
Please don't say 'vote'. I've done that all my life, and still the left is nagging, nagging, nagging,
like a bunch of bitches who are never happy with anything.
When someone else gets into the 'white' house, the left will just continue their bitching.

well don't you worry the government will make sure they get the other 50%…..Hope this change works out for you
do you even have a job sounds like you are a free loader
First – I challenge you for any sort of proof of the percentages you are trumpeting. They are outright lies, a large majority of Obama appointees have significant private sector experience, this argument is just factually wrong. Not that it will stop right-wingers from shouting about it. You keep screaming about Obama's socialist takeover, but true socialists and progressives laugh at that assertion, because Obama is the same sort of pro-war pro-corporate President we've had since the 80's.
As far as the economy goes, Obama has put in the same Goldman Sachs A-holes in charge that were there during the previous administration. Republicans and Democrats alike shoveled almost a trillion dollars at banks and Goldman Sachs and put no strings on the money. Even a Republican president would have admitted the need for some measure of direct government stimulus to create jobs, but right-wingers jump on this as some sort of socialist takeover.
EVERYBODY needs to wake up to Obama — rightwingers, he isn't the socialist (or Muslim), his policies and most actions are much, much closer to Bush's than you could even believe. And Obama fans: pretty much same message.
