Why does running a business automatically mean that you can run a government, too? [View all]

[cynatnite]

We already saw it first hand with bush. He was a business failure and he did a horrible job running Texas and the US.

So, now we've another bush type that's trying to say his business "success" (and I use the term success very loosely) translates that he can be successful at running the government.

A business and a government are two separate things. A business has a CEO...no judicial branch and no legislative branch. A CEO says this is what goes. There is no electoral process in him getting his job. A president is an elected official of a government with three equal branches of government. The only thing he is CEO of there is the military.

A business and a government are apples and oranges. They're not even in the same universe. So how in the blue blazes can anyone say that since they ran a business it means they can run a government?

It makes zero sense to me.

P.S. I know Romney did a horrible job as governor and they're hoping nobody remembers that.
