With all due respect.... YOU are the one who made the claim past presidents with extensive military experience didn't have real work experience then you said President Obama with his community organizer experience was as example of real work experience.
without examining the facts is a disservice to your thread. Following is the work experience of Pres. Barack Obama.
My objection was to say this was real work experience for a definition of real work as "making or selling something for a profit." I could have better stated it as "Private sector experience making or selling something for a profit" as I sure didn't mean to imply that working for the military or any of millions and millions of other government jobs from teaching to prison guards are not hard work...

Obviously, if you had pointed to his ice cream scooping job as an example equal to my washing cars or cleaning tables. those would have been good examples.

FWIW, scooping ice cream in 1975 or 1976... would have him doing it at age 14 or 15. I wonder why he doesn't make a bigger deal of these early jobs?

Much of the rest seems to be noise to cover up I also pointed out President Reagan had real work experience where you didn't have to go back as far as you said... what was it,... to Truman?

Good reading pbs.org
Looks like ole RR did some community organizing himself long before he got the paid position as president of the Actor's Guild.

Anyway, I wish you and your side would show more respect for the GOP presidents just as I wish GZ and his side would show more respect for the Democratic presidents.
