Information for your review.

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very 
interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations 
International Health Organization.

I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare" 
comparable to England or Canada .
Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans 
must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."

SHIP HIM TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !

He is "elderly" himself but be sure to remember his health 
insurance is different from yours as Congress has their own high-
end coverage!  He will never have to learn to accept 
"inconveniences"!!!
 AND THE WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in 
the private business sector prior to their appointment to the 
cabinet.  You know what the private business sector is... a real 
life business, not a government job.  Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt........  38%

Taft.....................40%

  Wilson ................52%

Harding..................49%

Coolidge..............  48%
Hoover................. 42%

F. Roosevelt.........  50%

Truman..................50%

Eisenhower........... 57%

Kennedy..............  30%

Johnson.................47%

Nixon..................  53%

Ford..................... 42%

Carter..................  32%

Reagan...................56%

GH Bush................. 51%
  Clinton    ................. 39%

GW Bush................ 55%
And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is:

 Obama................ 8%  !!!

This alone can explain the incompetence of this administration....! ! ! !! 8 %

Yep!  That's right!  Only Eight Percent!!!.. the least by far of 
the last 19 presidents!!  And these people are trying to tell our 
big corporations how to run their business?  They know what's 
best for GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me?

 How can the president of a major nation and society...the one 
with the most successful economic system in world history... 
stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?.. 
or about jobs when he has never really had one??!  And neither 
has 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers!  They've spent 
most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit 
jobs....or as "community organizers" when they should have been 
in an employment line.

Just in case you have not seen these interesting statistics:

You may want to pass this on,

 we will NEVER see it in the

                main street media!!!
