yes, that would give him more credability it was an economic study not a political study...Mark Cuban made a similar observation right after Obama announced his economic team....he noted that among all of the academics there were no entrepreneurs represented...it really shows doesn't it

President-Elect Obama's First Big Mistake
Mark Cuban.Posted: November 13, 2008 02:44 PM

Great to see President-elect Obama aggressively taking on the economy prior to his taking office. Unfortunately, the economic advisory team that he has put together looks more like a semester's worth of great guest speakers for an MBA class than an economic advisory team that can truly help him.

Notice anything missing?

Not a single entrepreneur. Yes Warren Buffett started a business, but he will be the first to tell you that he "doesn't do start ups". Which means there isn't a single person advising PE Obama that we know of that knows what it's like to start and run a business in this or any economic climate. That's a huge problem.


BTW..Cuban was a HUGE Obama supporter...
