Sarah Palin, others don't have heads for business, Carly Fiorina says
The former Hewlett-Packard CEO says that none of the top candidates
would be ready to lead a big company.
Barack Obama's team uses the comments against John McCain.
John McCain has repeatedly said that his running mate, Alaska Gov.
Sarah Palin, is qualified to be vice president and that she could step
in as president should the need arise.
That prompted St. Louis radio host McGraw Milhaven of KTRS on Tuesday
to ask McCain economic advisor Carly Fiorina, former chief executive
of Hewlett-Packard Co., whether she thinks the one-term governor has
the experience to run a "major company like Hewlett-Packard."
"No, I don't," she replied.
"But you know what? That's not what she's running for. Running a
corporation is a different set of things."
Fiorina, hailed as the most powerful woman in business before she was
fired by HP in 2005, stood by her remarks and then went further in an
interview Tuesday afternoon with NBC's Andrea Mitchell.
"Well, I don't think John McCain could run a major corporation,"
Fiorina said when Mitchell asked her about the morning interview.
Fiorina added that she didn't think that Democrats Barack Obama and
Joe Biden would be up to the job either.
"A major corporation is not the same as being president or vice
president of the United States," Fiorina said on MSNBC.
"To run a business you have to have a lifetime of experience in
business," she said.
"But that's not what Sarah Palin, John McCain, Joe Biden or Barack
Obama are doing."
Fiorina got points for her blunt assessment, but it gave Obama's
campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor an opening:
"If John McCain's top economic advisor doesn't think he can run a
corporation, how on Earth can he run the largest economy in the world
in the midst of a financial crisis?" Vietor said.

Sounds to me like idiot Fiorina can't run a business either. And she's
McBush's economic adviser?

During her tenure, the market halved HP?s value and the company
incurred heavy job losses.
Fiorina was asked by the Board of Directors to step down in 2005.
