Nope, never said that...just that the initial argument is bunk.

What's even more interesting, is how the author of the original study is quoted as saying it was completely subjective and he never intended it to be used for political purposes.

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...
