Guess who the other "businessmen" presidents were. [View all]

[moobu2]

I looked at the Wikipedia page listing American President by occupation.

Every other American President was listed as a farmer, lawyer, diplomat etc... only these American Presidents were listed as Businessmen or investors.

So leading up to the Great Depression was,

The 30th President - Calvin Coolidge (1923–1929) a Lawyer, who was listed as a Vice President of Northampton Savings Bank.

The 31st President - Herbert Hoover (1929–1933) an Engineer, listed as an Investor.

(THE GREAT DEPRESSION 1929-1940 ish)


The 41st President - George H. W. Bush (1981–89) a Pilot a Navy Lieutenant and listed as a Businessman

(a mild recession started in 1991, lasting ?)

The 43rd President - George W. Bush (2001 to 2009) listed as a Businessman.

(THE GREAT BUSH RECESSION 2007-2009)

The argument that Romney could solve our economic problems because he has business experience doesn't fly.
