Analysis of the Republican Debate in New Hampshire
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2011-06-14/analysis-republican-debate-new-hampshire
Seven Republican challengers met face to face for the first major debate in the run-up to the Republican nomination. Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty and Herman Cain sparred over health care, jobs, and U.S. involvement in Libya. But the candidates primarily focused on President Obama rather than each other. The debate was billed as the most important event of the Republican nomination process so far. But did the candidates set themselves apart? And will this early debate matter in the voting booth? Analysis of the Granite State’s first Republican debate.

:Second, moving the goal post a bit, aren’t you. Your original Comment simply stated that neither he nor I had any experience with the private sector, so I responded with the evidence that we both had such experience.
Glad you took my word for it regarding my own experience. The only way I could prove it to you would be to forego my “screen identity”, and I no more wish to do that than any of us want to forego theirs.)
But the discussion went to the direction that Obama's has little to no knowledge in understanding in the way small or large business works and I broke it down to you that his past work experience does not give him the understanding in how for profit business works.
Now as for self complimenting yourself because on another opinion you gave, I did not responsed. Sounds a little arrogant but anyway I got to thinking that just because you are a lawyer, self employed ???, represented a large company in court, you do not have alot knowledge in today's challenges that for profit companies face. Off course you have only given tidbits on your experience?
Have you ever been an employee of a small or large for profit corporation (staff) for any given length of time? Don't throw in internships because your only there a couple of months than out again.
On a different topic, wish I had the time to show how small business is so much against Heath Reform. Those so call subsidies are going to have to be paid by someone.
Those discussion points that you say are "irrevalent" and revalent because Big Government Bureacracies are static in the way they conduct their operations.
Off to work.

"A) Some of his positions (even in those foundations) required him to serve in an executive capacity. For all your scorn, running such organizations requires the same skills as any business executive"
My response: And he would of been fired in private business for his projections that all this money we got on credit would result in a better running business. Question, how are we going to pay that money back?
B) Running a country is not the same as running a business, and such experience does not indicate success.
My response: "Its the economy stupid". A Clinton quote. I realize Bush ll went into private business and declared bankruptcy like million of other before him but had failure. The problem with Obama is does not care whether private business succeeds or fails. Look how much Federal employement has grown under this guy. Small business has made him aware of the challenges they face, doctors have told him what the Health Reform Act will mean to their practice. At least Reagan understood how the Free Markets works. Obama is more of an idealoge want government in our lives from craddle to death.
Thats right Obama gets advise from Treasurey secretaries or Council of Economics Advisors that work and made millions at Lehmans, Bear, etc. But then while in government office they want to take the credit break for small investors that made them rich. Obama plays two sides.
You forget Etaoin, that small business is the largest employer and under this guy new Federal Jobs including pay raise have totaled in the neighborhood of 47 Billion. But Obama is showing us he wants a Sweden or one of those other countries that the majority of worker are in Federal Government.
