Here are the percentages.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
T. Roosevelt……………..\u00a0 38%
\nTaft…………………………. 40%
\nWilson …………………….. 52%
\nHarding……………………. 49%
\nCoolidge………………….. 48%
\nHoover ……………………. 42%
\nF. Roosevelt……………… 50%
\nTruman……………………. 50%

\n<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span>And the winner is:
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span>Obama………………. 08%
\n<\/strong>
\n
\nThis helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in a job not supported by tax money!
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"That’s right!\u00a0 Only eight percent—the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run\u00a0their<\/em> business? <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
They know what’s best for GM, Chrysler,\u00a0Wall Street, and you and me? <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong> <\/strong> <\/strong> <\/strong>How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful <\/strong>economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
Or about jobs when he has never really had one?\u00a0 And when it’s the same for 92% of his <\/span><\/strong>senior staff and closest advisers?\u00a0 They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government <\/span><\/strong>and\/or non-profit jobs or as “community organizers.” They should have been in an employment line.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

<\/span>We’ll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
