Scoring Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican Candidate for President

When I first discovered Barack Obama and evaluated his resume, I believed it was light on experience and accomplishment. I considered that he was running on brute force intellect that, when combined with character and being a leader of the African-American community, he earned merit. I had reservations about his ability to manage the U.S. government enterprise since he needed executive-level management experience. In government as a candidate, he accomplished nothing.

I won't say that Barack Obama proved me wrong. He was an effective leader, though he came up short in unifying Americans.


Now, I see Vivek Ramaswamy, a native of Indian Hill, Cincinnati, a neighbor of sorts. He is representative of the conservative population in our community--though he does not represent them in government and never has.


I listened to Vivek speak today on CNN and agreed with nearly everything he said, except his not favoring student loan forgiveness. That is easy for him to say, coming from a wealthy family and being very rich. That is a problematic characteristic.


His resume from Wiki is below, and there is a link to his website.
