Romney croons, "We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again ..."

The Myth of the Businessman-President - NYTimes.com


Romney croons, "We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again ..."
Romney has made business experience the main reason to elect him. Without his business past or his projections of business future, there is no there there. But history shows that time in the money trade is more often than not a prelude to a disastrous presidency. The less experience in business, the better the president.
Romney would disqualify Clinton, TR, Ike, and FDR for not having sufficient business experience to run for the presidency. Thinks his qualifications, like those of Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush before him, are a better predictor of successful administration.

It seems business experience is a fairly reliable indicator of what sort of president we'll get: a disaster.
