It's really simple. How did our last, and only, MBA President do?

1. Didn't Hoover have an MBA also?

He was a businessman.

2. Nope. Smirk was the first, and hopefully only one.

How's USA's first MBA president doing?

Will the first MBA president alter the world's course differently than seven generals, 27 lawyers, a peanut farmer and an actor before him?

It's too early to answer that question, but like the retired generals on TV, management pundits and CEOs are weighing in with reviews of President Bush's management of the war with Iraq.

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, usually quick with a joke, begins an interview about Bush by saying that he wants to be serious. What separates those who supported the war and those who opposed it may seem to be philosophical, Adams says. But it's more than that and comes down to the way they are trained to analyze data and make decisions.

Those who supported Bush, including many in the business community, are more likely to be trained in risk analysis and can weigh the cost of American lives in a war against, say, a 10% chance that Saddam Hussein would one day have used weapons of mass destruction.

5. I Thought The Exact Same Thing

I assumed that this post was going to be about Herbert Hoover.

3. One president with an MBA is a rather small sample size to say

all people with MBA's would make bad presidents. On the list of reasons why Romney would be a bad president, his post-graduate degree doesn't even make the top 500.
