Politicians are not CEOs. Elected officials are not CEOs. The comparison is not appropriate, but…Read More it does fit with Mr. Morici's misplaced CEO worship. The criticisms may be valid, but they must be examined as political or legal criticisms. The government as a business comparison only increases the power of the corporate state. I also note that Mr. Morici's credo which he attributes to President Obama, "We’ll do as we please, stop us if you can" is a very accurate portrayal of predatory capitalism.

O had exactly ZERO "executive" experience, which--along with his anti-business and anti-America views--explains his failures. Mr. Morici's assessment of O's job performance is perfectly pragmatic and relevant, while your doting worship of the "Agitator-in-Chief" is rather pathetic, as well as being irrelevant.

But it is still a faulty lens on this topic and he should know better.
