A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by
the United Nations International Health Organization, England & Canada.

I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare" comparable to England and Canada .
Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans must learn to accept the
inconveniences of old age."
SHIP HIS BUTT TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !
He is "elderly" himself but be sure to remember his health insurance is different from yours as
Congress has their own high-end coverage! He will never have to learn to accept "inconveniences!"
AND THE WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior
to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is? A real life business,
not a government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt.........38%
Taft......................40%
Wilson ................52%
Harding................49%
Coolidge..............48%
Hoover.................42%
F. Roosevelt.........50%
Truman................50%
Eisenhower..........57%
Kennedy...............30%
Johnson...............47%
Nixon...................53%
Ford.....................42%
Carter...................32%
Reagan.................56%
GH Bush...............51%
Clinton.................39%
GW Bush..............55%
And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is: Obama....8%!
Is this because he wants to be the smartest one in the room?
Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent!!! The least by far of the last 19 presidents! And these people
are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM...
Chrysler...Wall Street...and you and me?
GOD HELP US!!
