Is it really fair to call Meg Whitman an idiot?
To become a billionaire is tough, you have to get some of the issues right. There’s not a lot of billionaires around.
Contrast that with being a millionaire, there’s lots who made it to that level and are still mind-numbingly stupid. But a billionaire? Yeah you can wail that she got a free ride on the Internet wave, etc. etc., but I think you gotta have at least some smarts to get to be the first female billionaire. At least she’s got lots of hands-on managerial experience - something Obama never had (and it shows!).
Not ready to choose her yet, but I definitely think it would be interesting to hear more from her.
The sad thing about Whitman is that she is just one more airhead that thinks money equates to political savvy.
She didn’t care enough about our state or the nation to vote. She didn’t study the issues and go to the polls like you and I did our whole lives, but now she understands the political history of the state and nation enough to lead California? Nah...
All the propositions that you and I voted for, Whitman was MIA. Did she vote to replace our three California Supreme Court Justices? No. Did she vote for Prop 13? No. Did she study up and vote for or against any proposition in our state’s history prior to a few years ago, if then? No! Nothing about politics reached out to her enough for her to even vote prior to a few years back. Seriously, doesn’t that tell you something about the woman?
She didn’t vote for Reagan. She didn’t vote for or against any of our governors, unless it’s been in the last few years. This woman has a comprehension about politics that is less than five years old.
You can tell me she’s a business wizard, okay. I’m sorry, she could own every dollar in circulation and still not have voted, and my opinion of her would be very dim with regard to her becoming our governor.
Hell no...
Would you like to hear why she has contributed to Barbara Boxer's senate campaigns in previous elections?

George Soros is a billionaire.
