I don't care how large or successful the business you ran, it in virtually no way relates to running the government, either in scale, or power. A CEO can decide the business is going to take a new direction, and within a month his/her vision can be put into reality. In government there is no ability to that by oneself, unless you are FDR, and he could not do it today with the current D.C. environment.
