Remarkable."There is, of course, some connection between the scene outside and the mind through which we watch it, just as there are some long-haired men and short-haired women in radical gatherings. But to the hurried observer a slight connection is enough."

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.Davocrat®. The reason you're here.

Yeah those public speaking requirements are so central to a Masters of Business Administration.....August 28, 2008 - Obama nomination speech
"let me spell out exactly what that change would mean if I am president...I'll eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and start-ups... I will cut taxes...many of these plans will cost money, which is why I've laid out how I'll pay for every dime..I will also go through the federal budget line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work"

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.When it comes to GOP stupidity, there's no need to make stuff up.
