GOP talking point of the day |
|
They all seem to be jumping on this talking point that no one in the Obama Administration ever ran a business. But weren't Bush and Cheney both former CEOs and they ran the economy into the ground. I wish someone in the media would point that out.

Also that EVERY. SINGLE. business that Bush Jr. got his hands on instantly flopped and tanked...without exception.
General rule of thumb....you can't argue with a fool.

3. 50% of businesses fail in the first year. 90% in the first 5 years. |

5. when they repeat this now |
|
it reinforces the broader version of of the one they've been using for years on 1000 radio stations about just about anyone in the dem party, hell, even if they were successful in business.
