Past Education of CEO's of Top US Companies

.........................................................................................................


“Wall Street CEO” should mean any CEO of a company listed on the Dow.



Who exactly are those people? Here they are, with what they studied in college:

Microsoft – Steve Ballmer (mathematics)
Alcoa – Klaus Kleinfeld (economics)
Kraft – Irene Rosenfeld (Ph.D in statistics)
3M – Sir George Buckley (Ph.D in engineering)
AT&T – Randall Stephenson (accounting)
Boeing – Jim McNerney (MBA)


Not only has Boeing not received bailout money, the Obama administration is attempting to prevent it from building a plant in South Carolina and hiring thousands of skilled workers.

Caterpillar – Doug Oberhelman (finance)
Chevron – John Watson (economics)
Cisco – John Chambers (business)
Coca-Cola – Muhtar Kent (economics)
DuPont – Ellen Kullman (mechanical engineering)
Exxon Mobil – Rex Tillerson (civil engineering)
Hewlett-Packard – Meg Whitman (economics)
Home Depot – Frank Blake (unspecified bachelor’s)
Intel – Paul Otellini (economics)
IBM – Ginni Rometty (computer science/electrical engineering)
Johnson & Johnson – Bill Weldon (biology)
Travelers – Jay Fishman (accounting)
Pfizer – Ian Read (chemical engineering)
Procter & Gamble – Bob McDonald (engineering, West Point. Also a captain in the 82nd Airborne)
Verizon – Lowell McAdam (engineering)
Disney – Bob Iger (television/radio)
United Technologies – Louis R. Chênevert (commerce, production management)
Walmart – Mike Duke (engineering)
McDonald’s – Jim Skinner

This one’s awesome. He never graduated college, and we can’t even determine which one he attended, if any. He spent a decade in the Navy, got out at 27 and became a restaurant manager trainee. That’s right, his ambition was to manage a McDonald’s. (Not “manage McDonald’s”. Manage a McDonald’s.)

Merck – Ken Frazier (political science)
JP Morgan Chase – Jamie Dimon (economics)
General Electric – Jeff Immelt (applied math)

Oh, and this is what we’ve building toward:

Bank of America – Brian Moynihan (history)


The one Wall Street CEO whose company might deserve the protesters’ wrath just happens to be one of only 2 with a confirmed liberal arts degree.

Federal Judge Blocks Key Provisions of S.C. Immigration Law (Obama Appointee!)

Stand with Arizona

The Obama circle of corruption continued to grow, as a Democrat Party hack (see below) appointed to the bench by the President himself just a year ago - and who made political contributions to Obama in 2008 - today blocked the key provisions of South Carolina's AZ-style immigration law.

With just 10 days to go until the law was scheduled to take effect, U.S. District Judge Richard Mark Gergel granted a motion that Obama's own Justice Department made. It doesn't get any more incestuous than this.

The ruling applies to portions that require law officers to check the status of anyone they stop for something else and suspect is in the country illegally. Gergel also halted the implementation of sections pertaining to the transportation of illegal immigrants and immigrant registration cards. One provision was left intact: mandating business use of the Federal E-Verify system to check employees, and tough employer sanctions for failing to do so, or for knowingly hiring illegals. Those same provisions in an Arizona law were also fought by Obama in 2009, but the Supreme Court upheld them last Spring. The ruling goes against the decision by Alabama U.S. District Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn in September, to uphold similar provisions in Alabama's immigration law, and makes more clear than ever why Arizona's S.B. 1070 must be upheld by the Supreme court when it is heard next summer.

Gergel has denied the state's request that he suspend all court hearings on the case until the U.S.Supreme Court rules on a challenge to Arizona's similar law. South Carolina prosecutors have said the nation's high court will likely rule in six months or less. Governor Haley, through a spokesperson, said she will not give up the fight:

"If the feds were doing their job, we wouldn't have had to address illegal immigration reform at the state level. But, until they do, we're going to keep fighting in South Carolina to be able to enforce our laws....[I am] hopeful that the U.S. Supreme Court will soon do what Congress and the executive branch have failed to do, which is allow the states to pick up the slack where Washington has failed."

Judge Richard Mark Gergel - Ambulance Chaser and Democrat Big Wig

Judge Gergel had never before served as a judge at any level before Obama picked him in 2010. What was he before? An ambulance chaser - a "personal injury attorney". In fact he was named a " South Carolina Super Lawyer" several years' running. Those are the types that bring in the big cash settlements - as John Edwards did across the state line in N.C. for years - bankrupting OBGYNs with phony science.
