Executive experience is the least thing that is needed in elected office.

[Cleita]

I’m tired of people saying that elected government officials need to run things like a business. It’s a bad choice and every time we get one of these business wonks in office, things rapidly go down hill. I don’t care if it’s from the municipal level to the federal level. Business’s primary purpose is to deliver a profit to its owners or stock holders from the sale of goods and/or services. Government does none of those things. It’s purpose is to serve the people in the capacity of taking care of those collective tasks that we can’t do individually, to insure our security, freedom and prosperity, and the pursuit of happiness as our forefathers wrote.

You need only look at our present administration. George W. Bush has an MBA, from Harvard. Dick Cheney was the CEO of a global corporation and look what they have done for this country. They have been the worst presidential team in history, yet their whole governance is based on the ideology of business people and religious dominionists. They have delivered a profit by raiding our Treasury and funneling taxpayers' money to the corporate entities who put them into office driving us into being the biggest debtor nation in the world. Arnold Schwarzenegger gained office in my state of California citing his business experience and he hasn’t finished ruining my state but he’s close. His business solutions have brought us to a place now that none of our legislators can pass his state budget because it would be too ruinous to a state that is still the sixth largest economy in the world.

This executive experience meme that the McCain campaign is trying to push on us as to why Sarah Palin is a better choice than Barack Obama needs to be vigorously shown up by the Obama campaign as the worst qualification for a candidate who is a heart beat away from the Presidency. They need to show how corrupt she is and how inexperienced she is in actual law and governance instead.

4. Caller into Thom Hartmann also said that the Alaska legislature meets only

sixty days out of the year, which makes her executive experience as a governor only a part time job. She in no way has had to spend 24/7 on the job that an executive level job at the federal level would entail.
