carlgo, you mistook my facetiousness and disdain for either candidate.
My point was not that either should know how to run those specific
kinds of businesses.
My opin is that we constantly get life
long politicos as our "choices" and that neither 'Bama or McPain have
ever done the kind of "normal", regular, "understood" kinds of efforts
in any kind of business environment.
Career politicians are what we are fed everyday for nearly every office
on any ballot. If that's what we have all come to expect and accept,
shame on us, imo. I don't mean that JoeBizMan is necessarily ready to
be Prez, but the continual layers of politicians vs real world working
experience people is a sad case, imo.
My previous constant table pounding remains: in a country with a third of
a billion people, we had that ugly dozen "running" and it has boiled down
to Obama and McCain. That suggests that no one outside of the standard
political process, and without a lengthy political career, has any chance
of being elected past a very parochial, local level.
My opin is that is wrong and offers few real "choices", does nothing to promote
more effective government, (their is an oxymoron), and continually and perpetually
saddles us with the more of the same kind of political "leadership".
Thus we have and get, what it is...

Edit/added: back on topic, sorta: O & M should show up for the debate. This isn't
that tough of an assignment, imo.
