An email from my daughter. I didn't see the show or verify the figures but the figures look about right.
Thanks, Mary Jo
Did you happen to catch a recent Glenn Beck show? He had a graph up that showed past presidents and the percentage of each president's cabinet appointees who had previously worked in the private sector. You know a real life business, not a government job? Remember what that is? A private business???
Roosevelt - 38%
Taft - 40%
Wilson - 52%
Harding - 49%
Coolidge - 48%
Hoover - 42%
FDR - 50%
Truman - 50%
Eisenhower - 57%
Kennedy - 30%
LBJ - 47%
Nixon - 53%
Ford - 42%
Carter - 32%
Reagan - 56%
GHWB - 51%
Clinton - 39%
GWB - 55%
And the Winner is.......... ......... ......
Obama - 8%
YEP, EIGHT PERCENT!!!!! !!!!!!! And these are the guys holding a "job summit" this week? This ought to go really well!!!! I'm gonna go out on a limb here, I know, but I'm gonna go ahead and predict....we are toast.

Merle, check this out on Politifact:

Never trust a report from a CNN, Fox or MSNBC Opinionist without verifying!
