What would you think of someone who desires to be a head football coach but has never played the game and does not understand the basic rules of that sport? I suspect you would quickly laugh and say something such as, "Good luck!" And you would be quite correct.
Which brings us to Barack Hussein Obama.
One of my most serious doubts about Barack Obama was that he had virtually no experience working in business or industry. At the same time it seemed clear that he was steeped in the political tradition that, at best, is ignorant of or, at worst, openly hostile to private enterprise. The result is that he holds positions that completely misinterpret how markets work.
When the man who holds the national veto pen is more or less clueless as regards how economies actually function to create wealth, great harm to that system can be done.
Here is a piece that explains this better than I could. I wish the President would read, and take to heart, its lessons.
