Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus whacked the hapless Barack Obama a couple months back when he he assessed Obama’s business acumen, saying “I’m not sure Obama would understand anything that I’d say” as he lamented the woeful state of the economy.
Marcus steps up to the plate again, saying the Obama White is populated with “amateurs surrounded by amateurs.”
Ouch.
The Georgian who every Republican presidential candidate wants in his camp still hasn’t decided who he’s going to back. But although Bernie Marcus believes in abortion and gun control, he knows who he won’t support: Barack Obama.
In an interview at the Georgia Public Policy Foundation meeting here, the billionaire philanthropist and Home Depot co-founder lambasted the “amateurs in the White House” as “amateurs surrounded by amateurs.”
But he would not pick sides in the fight for the Republican nomination.
