That explains a lot. In my experience, it's the MBA who steps in and fucks up the simplest problem. The LAST person I want to show creative OR strategic thinking to is the average MBA. They either assume that they've tested out of everything that you've done for, like 25 years, or they're so worried about process that they can't discern the most obvious answers.

I don't think he earned shit, he must have bought it. Haven't you ever heard him speak, he is a blithering idiot.

Yeah those public speaking requirements are so central to a Masters of Business Administration.....

That's good on him... But an MBA is not the only educational path. Many presidents have been lawyers, which is harder to achieve than a MBA.

I found this site with some interesting info on each president also, if anyone is interested:

Interesting read. It doesn't really conclude that Former President Bush is a bad businessman though. It's not as if he controls the price of oil. The article pointed out that he had a repuation for honesty and was admired by his investors and staff. It seems from this read that his MBA payed off.
