...in my humble opinion.
Look what we got with George W Bush, the first MBA to hold the office.
CEO's and businesses have too much power in our politics and in our government already. We should be wary of any "successful businessman" running for high office.
We need oversight of CEO's - we don't need more of them over-seeing the government.
We should have heeded the words of Jesse Jackson when he said, "Stay outta the Bushes!"

I disagree. Just look at what banksters recently did to our country with their greed.

A government run by the 1% will serve the 1% . . . First, Foremost and often times ONLY.
