[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 915548, member: 31608"] It is worth considering, though, that that depends on how one defines "business sense"; running a business does not necessarily translate into a prosperous country. As an example, consider the pressures that a large business owner is under: strict budget constraints, employee performance, cost-benefit analysis, etc. There may be a place for that in government, but maybe that place is not the Oval Office; cuts to welfare/unemployment, tax breaks for big business, little assistance to people under the poverty line, little to no financial incentive for environmental programs, these are the sort of things that might happen under a President who had some "business sense." Finally, what if it makes "business sense" to move yet more jobs overseas? Business wise, it is only logical to move production to where it is cheapest - with little regard to quaint concepts like patriotism or national pride. [/QUOTE]
