I don't disagree with you on this. The job of POTUS requires executive experience, but an executive in business isn't the same. They share some of the same qualities, absolutely, but the skill sets are different and a titan of industry could very easily be overwhelmed in the government sector and vice versa. I'd rather see someone with an MPA running for POTUS than someone with an MBA.

Edit to add: This actually got me thinking how interesting it would be to see someone that had worked their way up the public sector ladder get into these spots where they are elected officials. What they could potentially do. I am a low level supervisor in state government and I could already go over a number of things that I'd work to improve were I the executive power for the state. Imagine someone doing this for decades and getting the chance to take the reins. Of course, that is, if they'd be willing to get these things done.
