No CEO Administration
Politico: “There are no former CEOs in the Obama Cabinet. And among the people who make up his daily inner circle, there is only a dollop or two of top-level private sector experience.”
“Whether it is a signifcant absence, however, is far more debatable. As it happens, only a small number of the business leaders in recent administrations were stand-outs. And several were ostentatious flops. It would be hard to argue that there is a close correlation between success in business and success in Washington.”
Perhaps Obama read my book, You Won, Now What?, where we make the case that you cannot run government like a business — unlike so many campaigners promise.
